White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted administration officials are “doing everything we can to deal with” the still-increasing surge of migrants at the southwest border.
That’s not true, and Jean-Pierre knows it: President Biden’s not doing the one thing the law requires — detaining illegal entrants.
The law’s extremely straightforward, requiring the Department of Homeland Security to hold all inadmissible “applicants for admission” until they’re either granted asylum or removed.Worse, even as migrant apprehensions hit new records at the US-Mexico line, Biden’s asked Congress to cut funding for alien detention beds for the past two fiscal years.
The administration continues to argue its migrant surge is being driven by “hemispheric conditions” such as “food insecurity” and “climate change,” even after federal Judge Kent Wetherell held in March that while such “geopolitical factors” have contributed to the surge, officials’ contentions “that the crisis at the border is not largely of their own making because of their more lenient detention policies is divorced from reality.
Even the Democrats who controlled Congress during Biden’s first two years refused to consider it, and when an amnesty’s too rich for Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, you know it’s bad.
