Biden’s southern border flex is all talk, no teeth
Feb 9
By Straight Arrow News
On Feb. 7, Senate Republicans blocked a bipartisan border bill that had been under negotiation for months with Democrats and the Biden administration. With prospects for passing border security legislation now seeming dim, President Biden is pointing fingers at former President Trump, who opposes the bill, and urging Republicans to “show some spine.”
Straight Arrow News contributor Star Parker argues that the Biden administration is not truly serious about tighter controls at the border. She claims that Americans are growing weary of the president consistently placing blame for the lack of immigration legislation on Republicans.
The consequences of the Biden administration’s shirking their responsibility are all too familiar to most Americans by now. We’re feeling it. Communities along the border strain to provide resources. Local schools in border states see increased enrollment without any corresponding increases in revenues not to mention the language barriers. Unaccompanied minors are tragically being trafficked through the country. Fentanyl deaths are continuing to rob families of their loved ones.
It’s important to note that this is not just a problem of the borders anymore. This is now national. Many liberal cities that virtue signaled by proclaiming themselves to be sanctuary cities have since declared a state of emergency over the border crisis, including cities like Denver, Chicago, New York. It’s everywhere.
While Congress continues to debate. They’re trying to find solid solutions, and yet states and communities will continue to do everything they can to stay afloat, while we here in Washington are in a standstill because of the Biden administration.
But it is past the point of being even remotely sustainable for these states and these communities. And everyone is concerned. Americans everywhere will have to keep the real evidence in front of them, not the rhetoric, especially over the coming months, about what happened here in Washington for the border bill — the collapse.
