Biden Installs an ATM at the Border
Paying people not to work pales in comparison to paying them for illegal entry to this country.
In the alleged pursuit of civility, fairness and propriety, the American left has lost all sense of all three.
And included in those losses is the loss of any love or concern of and for the American people (including both native born and legal immigrants).
Payment of any amount of money to illegal aliens for separating them from their "children" is about further punishing taxpaying voters for the crime of electing a president who took our laws and our sovereignty seriously.
President Trump ran on controlling the border, so for him it is something he talked about for close to two years before the 2016 election– building a wall was hardly a current focus or recent development. 20 to 40 million illegal aliens living in the US is not a recent development, either – but for nearly 50 years, there are those who openly advocate open borders and illegal immigration and continue to encourage it.
Let’s look at who and what encouraged the rise, and eventual flood, of border jumpers:
When Obama was in office, the New York Times acknowledged the border was in crisis and many progressives nicknamed President Obama the “Deporter in Chief” – although he didn’t change his “catch and release” policy until 2016 – when keeping it could hurt Hillary in the election. Obama changed immigration law by executive fiat, creating the DREAM program by HHS memo.
The Obama administration sued the State of Arizona for passing SB 1070 to control its own border with Mexico.
The Trump administration was blamed for separation of illegal immigrant families even though the issue is the “Flores Settlement” that was reached in 1997 during the Clinton administration – two decades BEFORE Trump took office. Biden’s cronies and allies seem to forget this small fact. Even the ACLU simply denies their role in this settlement as they seek payments for illegal aliens as a result of the government following this decision.
Pope Francis once sent $500,000 to Mexican churches to help “migrants” in the “caravans”.
The Mexican government just said that funding for the “caravans” came from individuals and organizations in the U.S., England, Africa, and Central America.
The caravans were created and guided by an open borders group called Pueblo Sin Fronteras – founded in Chicago.
The National Lawyers Guild provides legal support for Pueblo Sin Fronteras, one of the groups responsible for organizing caravans to the border.
Members of Pueblo Sin Fronteras and other groups have arrested for human trafficking.
Democrat politicians have called the surge at the border “fake” and “manufactured” and fought against a declaration of a national emergency.
The sycophantic media (CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, Washington Post, New York Times) joined in with Democrats to ignore the crisis at the border, uniformly and consistently blaming the Trump Administration for Obama era policies and signaling to illegal immigrants that the Democrats would protect them through blocking Trump’s attempts at immigration reform.
The progressive, activist federal judiciary blocked the Trump administration from implementing changes in the asylum policy – making applicants stay in Mexico until their cases are heard. After release into the interior, a recent pilot program showed that 87% of them did not show up for their court dates.
Progressive mayors and governors have created “sanctuary” cities and states and have announced they will not cooperate with immigration enforcement entities. Berkeley became the first city in the United States to pass a sanctuary resolution on November 8, 1971. Additional local governments in certain cities in the United States began designating themselves as sanctuary cities during the 1980s and have continued at the state level.
Now you can add an American President who has enacted de facto open borders, has sent an unspoken invitation trough ignored laws, is shipping illegal aliens to the inner reaches of this country, and is proposing to pay them for their criminality.
Illegal immigration has been an issue for decades, but an issue that gets ignored on both sides of the aisle – for different reasons, but to the same effect.
This is a perpetual crisis because it has been ignored by every president since Reagan tried to work with Democrats in the 80’s. It was created and supported by progressive Democrats and exacerbated by do-nothing Republicans.
What it is not is a crisis of President Trump’s making. Biden and his administration own this one 100% - and they want the America taxpayer to pay for it.
