How bad is Joe Biden’s border crisis? Even the left-wing Washington Post editorial board is calling him out.
The editorial was damning of Biden’s complete failure at the border. Here is some of what they said:
“In its apparent desperation to fashion an immigration strategy that will impose order on increasingly out-of-control migration, the Biden administration has unleashed a torrent of words and goals untethered to specific policies and timetables … What is mostly missing from the sweeping rhetoric and broad-strokes analysis is an actual plan for action.”
“But the convoluted messaging — telling migrants not to seek entry to the United States while at the same time relaxing or scrapping an array of measures that would actually dissuade them, and providing relief to migrants on both sides of the border — has been a failure. That failure is measurable, and it is politically toxic.”
“[T]hey have driven a policy whose incoherence has yielded pressure at the border that may cost the Democrats control of one or both houses of Congress in next year’s midterm elections. So far, there is nothing in the administration’s short- or long-term strategizing that is likely to shift that dynamic.”
July’s preliminary border numbers back up the Post’s indictment. Border officials apprehended 210,000 illegal immigrants last month, including a record high 19,000 children. As the crisis gets worse, the Biden administration has abandoned local communities struggling to cope with its dangerous consequences.
Biden’s open borders agenda has failed, a failure that is obvious for everyone but Democrats to see.
