For all of Biden's international travel over his 50 years in public service, Biden has not spent much time at the U.S.-Mexico border. The only visit that the White House could point to was Biden's drive by the border while he was campaigning for president in 2008. He sent Vice President Kamala Harris to El Paso in 2021, but she was criticized for largely bypassing the action, because at the time, El Paso wasn't the center of crossings that it is now.
President Barack Obama made a 2011 trip to El Paso, where he toured border operations and the Paso Del Norte international bridge, but he was later criticized for not going back as tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors crossed into the U.S. from Mexico. The Obama Administration also separated children from their families and literally held people in cells. (They would freely walk out of course)
President Trump, who made hardening immigration a signature issue, traveled to the border several times. During one visit, he crammed into a small border station to inspect cash and drugs confiscated by agents. During a trip to McAllen, Texas, then the center of a growing crisis, he made one of his most-often repeated claims, that Mexico would pay to build a border wall. They did to a degree, but overall it was from moving funds around.
The numbers of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border has risen dramatically during Biden’s first two years in office. There were more than 2.38 million stops during the year that ended Sept. 30, the first time the number topped 2 million. The administration has struggled to clamp down on crossings, reluctant to take hard-line measures that would resemble those of former President Donald Trump's administration.

I remain convinced that if I live long enough, every time I hear a weird story on the news, I will be able to say, "Feh, I wrote something that x years ago." I expected it, however, to be when I'm, like seventy or eighty-- not just shy of 48. My story was about a town invaded by an army of mysterious alien balloons, and if, in the course of their spy missions they were observed or threatened, they burst, releasing a cloud of sleep-gas. Thanks to Joe Biden we live in a cartoon now, folks. "What the American people don't know won't hurt them...." That's probably the Biden MO. It's pretty much the progressive m.o. " Don't ask questions." |
