Before he departed for Arizona Tuesday to give a speech on the economy, President Biden was asked by a reporter if he would be visiting the border.
His answer? “There are more important things going on.”
. . .
This administration, on the other hand, is the first in our nation’s history to reject the very idea of deterring illegal immigration.
That’s not because there’s some kind of plan to import voters. Sure, those are ancillary benefits for the left, but the deeper reason this administration, from the president on down, doesn’t think what’s happening at the border is important is that they believe immigration controls are morally wrong — period. They believe that the American people simply have no right to keep anyone out. And if the immigration law requires them to do that — as it obviously does — they’ll do their best to circumvent and ignore the law.
In other words, the Biden administration sees the Immigration and Nationality Act as the equivalent of Jim Crow, and undermining it is the heroic equivalent of escorting black students into desegregated schools. . . .
