What Biden’s move does is pinch the hose a bit, slowing the rate of migrants crossing the border. Which is why the left is furious.
As President Joe Biden just learned, no good deed goes unpunished.
Biden finally took executive action Tuesday that will turn away illegal immigrants at the southern border seeking asylum when there is a high volume of daily encounters.
That “high volume” is a seven-day average of daily crossings exceeding 2,500 between ports of entry, according to reports.
Meaning now.
This is too little, too late of course, as cities and states around the county have long taken the strain of paying for the housing and care of migrants, and in certain areas seen an increase in crime, sometimes violent, by the very migrants these cities are trying to help.
“Families seeking a better life” is a thread of the migrant narrative, but it’s not the only one. Some are criminals seeking a new chance to make a quick buck, or bring harm and fear to communities. They’re already here, and Biden’s move won’t do much to ease the problem.
What it does do is pinch the hose a bit, slowing the rate of migrants crossing the border.
