As lawmakers and the public continue to sift through the 370-page Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, it’s become clear why its authors kept the wraps on what was included in it. This travesty of a bill wasn’t designed to fix the crisis at our southern border. Rather, it was a cynical attempt to deceive Americans into believing the Biden administration is working on a solution ahead of a crucial presidential election.
Well aware that illegal immigration has become an albatross around President Joe Biden’s neck that could doom his chances of reelection, Democrats, with an assist from the usual Republican suspects, are trying to shift blame for the border crisis to the GOP. The mere introduction of this bill will allow Democrats to say that they offered a solution, but the evil Republicans blocked it. They will ignore the fact that former President Donald Trump’s policies had secured the border — without Congress — and that Biden reversed all of those policies via 94 executive actions during his first 100 days in office.
