President-elect Joe Biden may have realized he does not want a southwest border crisis in his administration, but the damage he created with his campaign promises is already done. After irresponsibly making campaign statements that “we owe” illegal aliens amnesty and promising to end the Trump administration’s “Remain in Mexico” program on day one, Biden has balked, stating he would make such changes at a slower pace than originally promised.

It’s too late. The alien smugglers have already cashed their checks.
