Border Breakdown: Treason, Not Incompetence

The Biden administration has adopted a treasonous open-border policy that violates existing law and betrays the country. Yet the border can be secured. ...
R. Cort Kirkwood

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told us just what he thinks of immigration law, and the men and women who enforce it, when leftists claimed that mounted Border Patrol agents “whipped” Haitian illegal aliens near Del Rio, Texas, in September 2021. After photos of the “whipping” zoomed across social media, the Cuban immigrant swiftly denounced the agents and all but declared them guilty. He suspended the agents from duties involving migrants. He promised an investigation and answers within seven days. The agents “do not reflect who we are as a country” and will be punished accordingly, Mayorkas said. Why an investigation was necessary given that the omniscient DHS chief knew they were guilty is a mystery, but one thing about the case wasn’t. Casting the agents as villains gave Mayorkas the narrative he needed to dump 15,000 illegal Haitians into the country. They had to be compensated somehow.

But within hours of the supposed whipping, the narrative collapsed. Enhanced photos showed that agents did not have whips, that they did not use their reins as whips, and that they were, as they are sworn to do, enforcing the law. But doing that job violated policy established by Mayorkas and ultimately ordered by President Joe Biden.

The man now known as Brandon announced that policy even before he supposedly defeated President Donald Trump on November 3, 2020, and he quickly promulgated it on Day One of his dubiously conceived presidency. In keeping with that policy, Mayorkas has repeatedly declared in writing and in public speeches that he will not enforce U.S. immigration law, and his subalterns will not deport an illegal alien unless he commits murder or another serious felony. Along with ignoring internal immigration enforcement, Biden and Mayorkas have released hundreds of thousands of illegals apprehended at the border, some of them dangerous criminals. Indeed, Biden and Mayorkas are flying illegals into the country on secret flights that release impoverished “migrants” into unsuspecting communities under cover of darkness.
