Security Sham in Progress with Border-crossers, Afghan Evacuees
What border? The U.S. border with Mexico is essentially wide open during the Biden administration. The surge of illegal border-crossers even has Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas saying the situation is “unsustainable” and we will “lose.” (Photo credit: AP Images)
Item: The Economist (August 28-September 3 issue), in discussing problems of those fleeing from Afghanistan, merged that situation critically with the Biden administration’s overall immigration policies. “The administration,” noted the London-based publication, “is frequently attacked as soft on immigration. Tucker Carlson, a TV host, and Stephen Miller, an adviser to President Donald Trump, have warned of the supposed threat posed by Afghan refugees.”
Item: Politico correspondent Anita Kumar in an August 30 piece tried to be reassuring: “A senior administration official said Afghans ‘undergo robust security’ that includes ‘biometric and biographic security screenings conducted by our intelligence, law enforcement and counterterrorism professionals who are working quite literally around the clock’ to vet Afghans before they’re allowed in the United States. In many cases, the refugees are taken to a third country, such as Qatar or Kuwait, where they undergo additional screening.”
Item: Writing about the increasing number of illegal aliens streaming across the southern U.S. border, Politico’s Kumar said (August 2): “Millions of immigrants — from those seeking to escape their countries to international students — are now waiting for Trump-era policies to be overturned.”
