The Right leaning the Hill does a piece on disappointment from those on the left about Biden moving to approving more border wall and moving to close the door on Venezuelan migrants….
The fact is?
Biden had REALLY no choice on this….
Blaring headlines WITH images of people laying the American Democratic city streets….
Those mayor’s and Governor HARD on his case…
In addition to Texas, Florida Governor s and other Republicans also beatinbg on him politically, left him no avenue other wise to deal with a problem that in reality is NEVER going to cease….
VP Harris took a bite at it and failed….
Domestic advisor Susan Rice tried and failed….
Biden KNOWS he needs this as trade meat with the House Republican RightWingNut’s…
People need open their eyes…..
Biden, the old Senate law maker is just moving the political chess piece necessary ….
Asked whether he believes the border wall works, Biden sighed, “no.”
His explanation came more than 12 hours after The Associated Press first reported the story, based on the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) quiet announcement in the Federal Registry.
The administration had forewarned some allies such as Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) that it would obligate the funds to avoid violating the 1974 Impoundment Control Act, but it omitted a key detail.
“[Biden] tried to divert money; he tried to do everything that he could from my understanding. He tried to transfer and reprogram authorities. So he did a whole bunch of stuff, but it’s only limited to 5 percent of what they could transfer,” said Cuellar, an appropriator and a fierce opponent of wall construction.
Cuellar said Biden is “stuck with the Impoundment Control Act,” but raised doubts about the environmental waivers.
…
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas pushed back against criticism that the announcement represented either a policy shift or a contradiction for the administration.
“There is no new Administration policy with respect to border walls. From day one, this Administration has made clear that a border wall is not the answer. That remains our position and our position has never wavered. The language in the Federal Register notice is being taken out of context and it does not signify any change in policy whatsoever,” Mayorkas said in a statement published on X, formerly known as Twitter….

But immigration and environmental advocates are livid….
A GOOD reason for Biden to be pro-active on Immigration
Trump Escalates Anti-Immigrant Rhetoric
“Donald Trump said undocumented immigrants were ‘poisoning the blood of our country’ in a recent interview, language with echoes of white supremacy and the racial hatreds of Adolf Hitler,” the New York Times reports.
Said Trump: “Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from, and we know they come from prisons. We know they come from mental institutions and insane asylums. We know they’re terrorists. Nobody has ever seen anything like we’re witnessing right now. It is a very sad thing for our country. It’s poisoning the blood of our country. It’s so bad, and people are coming in with disease. People are coming in with every possible thing that you could have.”
The reality that Joe Biden understands….
As I have said in this post?
NOTHING WILL STOP PEOPLE FROM risking their lives to travel to America to get a chance to better their lives…
And their children’s futures….
The trips may subside for a period of time….
But they people KEEP coming…..
