Where Isn't Biden? The Border.

Joe Biden is in Arizona today — just don’t expect him to be anywhere near the border crisis he created.

Biden is just 117 miles from the port of entry in Lukeville, Arizona, where officials were forced to close storm gates weeks earlier than usual after being overwhelmed by illegal immigrants and drug cartels.

But instead of seeing the crisis firsthand — and hearing from the frontline officials deluged by the unprecedented illegal crossings and drug trafficking happening on his watch — Biden will give another angry speech and hold a campaign fundraiser before jetting back to D.C.

The ignorance is not at all shocking; the southern border has become completely overrun under the Biden administration — whose delusions of border security are matched only by their incompetence.

But Biden’s decision to skip past the border isn’t sitting well with local Arizona officials:

• “It’s highly disappointing that the president gets this close to the border and continues to pretty much ignore the situation,” says Yuma Mayor Douglas Nicholls.
• “I had invited him several times to come and see for himself the challenges that he has created,” says Yuma County Supervisor Jonathan Lines.
• “Just see that and tell me how inhumane that is,” says Cochise County, Arizona, Sherriff Mark Dannels.
• “The border is in chaos as Biden arrives in Arizona. He may want to ignore that, but it's hard to argue that his policies are working,” writes The Arizona Republic’s Phil Boas.

There’s a reason Biden has made just one visit to the border in his entire career (which was more like a quick drive-by): his ineffectual policies, inability to accept responsibility, and feckless leadership have created an unrivaled humanitarian crisis.

It’s a disgusting affront to Arizonans and Americans.
