Mayorkas BS about a 'secure' border

 Newsbusters:

On CNN's Sunday night long form interview show Who's Talking to Chris Wallace, the eponymous host sat down with the incompetent Biden Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. While you may think that this blog will detail a softball interview by Wallace, that isn't the case this time. It appears Wallace hasn't completely sold out to his CNN puppet master Chris Licht.

Right off the bat, Wallace grilled Mayorkas on his and Biden's failure to secure the border. A major point Wallace made was that Mayorkas apparently believes the border is secured, evidenced by his numerous public statements.

"Critics point out in 2020, Donald Trump's final year in office, U.S. border authorities encountered migrants 458,000 times at the border but under Joe Biden in 2022, there were 2.3 million encounters," Wallace observed before asking Mayorkas "how can you say the border is secure?"

Mayorkas blamed the "millions of jobs opening due to the economic success of this administration" for the explosion in illegal immigrants flowing across the border.

"That makes the United States an appealing place of destination for people fleeing persecution or otherwise in desperate need of a better life," he claimed.

Wallace followed up by asking "what does secure mean to you? It certainly doesn't mean that people aren’t able to get across the border illegally."

"Of course not," Mayorkas responded. Adding that "by that measure, the border has never been secure, right?"
...

After that dysfunctional back and forth, Wallace reiterated once again that the border is unsecured by any reasonable definition: "We have all seen the scenes of floods of people walking across shallow points in the Rio Grande. We've all seen the pictures of encampments in downtowns, El Paso, places in Arizona."

"We've all seen the pictures of the flood of migrants coming to New York. By those standards, it is not a secure border," Wallace added.
...

Mayorkas malarky is what we have come to expect from the Biden administration which has an open borders policy.

 Excuse me? It sure sounds like Mayorkas is saying that “securing the border” is some subjective standard of our values. According to him, Trump didn’t secure the border because his policies were mean or something. The Biden administration clearly believes they are securing the border, even as illegal immigrant encounters are at historic highs.

The fact is that the Biden administration does not want to secure the border in any meaningful way.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
