President Biden’s border policies created a humanitarian, economic, and legal crisis that dismantled immigration enforcement and overwhelmed American communities.

Joe Biden, to the degree he was cognizant, has always reflected the Obama-era utopia dream of a borderless world, and thus millions of poor have illegally entered the United States. On numerous occasions, he offered clear warnings of what he would do if he ever had power over immigration policy.

Do we remember this 2020 Biden boast to let in millions and offer blanket amnesties?

“But I will send to the desk immediately a bill that requires the access to citizenship for 11 million undocumented folks, number one. Number two, in the first 100 days of my administration, no one, no one will be deported at all. From that point on, the only deportations that will take place are commissions of felonies in the United States of America.” In Biden’s world, if no illegal alien is ever to be deported unless a criminal, then there is at last no border.

Earlier Biden had also bragged, “We could afford to take in a heartbeat another two million. The idea that a country of 330 million people cannot absorb people who are in desperate need and who are justifiably fleeing oppression is absolutely bizarre.”

After 2020, we found out what Biden really meant was that a few thousand privileged and rich people in Martha’s Vineyard, Malibu, and Rehoboth, Delaware, certainly could not absorb even a few hundred in “desperate need”—but the millions of poor in inner-city Chicago, in the Rio Grande Valley, and the Central Valley of California most certainly could absorb “another two million” illegal aliens.

Most infamously, in 2019, Biden gave explicit outlines of the very open border that he has now institutionalized:

The illegal invasion was always on purpose to bring in millions of poor democRAT voters.

28 days from today and we are rid of: 1 - the Biden White House and his horrific staffers who have been running the greatest country on earth; 2 - Mayorkas, who by himself was the worst appointee ever; 3 - the FBI headed by Fat Christie’s corporate lawyer; 4 - much of the incredible corruption in the intel agencies; 5 - many grossly overpaid and coddled federal workers; 6 - payments by DoD for things like climate change that have nothing to do with their mission; 7 - secret channeling to far left groups of fines won by the Justice Dept. in federal civil suits. I could go on, but I have work to do this year.

But most cynically and importantly, half the new arrivals are not from the Latin American world and thus have smaller, if any, expatriate apologists or activists in the United States.

A salient point by the ever knowledgeable VDH. The left's open borders policy has become more than just a "We ♥ Hispanics" statement. It's truly a policy of replacing whites with anyone who'll come.

As a Christian and American and amateur historian, what I see is the complete removal of the Great Awakening from our culture. What Richard Dawkins meant when he said that he's a "cultural Christian", are character traits that are anathema to the control-freak political class.

The political class doesn't like people with individual relationships with God, living lives of virtue and honor. The so-called "enlightened" nobility know that they can better control people who either believe there are no virtues, or at least believe that their relationships with God depend on the higher class.

Need to stop calling it Biden’s border policies
Everbody knows that Obama has been calling the shots while Biden slept
Obama’s third term
Need to go to the Supreme Court to repeal EVERYTHING “Biden” has done because Obama was actually holding the reigns of power
All of the people around him have admitted he did not have any of his mental capacities.
Includes pardons and amnesties.
This presidency has been a sham, now exposed
