The Dems' destructive border crsisi

 Stephen Kruiser:

As 2023 draws to a close, and we prepare ourselves to enter what promises to be a most ridiculous election year, it's exhausting to think that the things wearing out the good people of this country have a great chance of getting much worse. 

In the case of the humanitarian and national security crisis on our southern border, it's pretty much a guarantee. 

Joe Biden's puppet masters made it a point to start screwing up the border from the moment he got into office. The priority wasn't what was best for the United States of America, but what could be done to undo whatever President Trump had done. In the fevered minds of Trump-hating Democrats, anything Trump did while president was wrong, so anything they could do to reverse his achievements would, therefore, be good. 

How's that working out so far?

The border news seems to get worse by the minute. Rick wrote yesterday about the latest record-setting mess to the south:

On Monday, there were more than 12,600 encounters with illegal aliens along the Southwestern border, a record for one day. It's a record that is not going to last long, and that record of one-day encounters does not include another 4,500 still being processed. 

Agents at Eagle Pass, Texas, are dealing with an unprecedented situation. They are outnumbered 200 to 1.

The government has closed three border crossings, much to the chagrin of businesses that depend on cross-border commerce with Mexico. But it's a question of manpower. The border patrol can't process the illegals fast enough or release them quickly enough to control the overwhelming numbers of people crashing the border.

That's right, sports fans, there are so many people crossing the border illegally that documented people on either side can't legally travel through some ports of entry because they've been shut down. 

If there is any policy governing this, it's not readily apparent. It's as if everyone in the Biden administration just throws their hands in the air when the subject of the border comes up, then waits to see what they have to inadequately react to next. 

The consequences of Team Biden's incompetence regarding the Mexican border are being felt all over America. A new twist is indicative of the administration's flailing. After months of condemning Republican governors for busing illegal immigrants away from the border, the Biden administration is putting them on planes, which my Townhall colleague Sarah Arnold covered yesterday....

...

The Biden policy looks deliberately destructive on the border.  Rather than defending the border, he is facilitating an invasion of illegals.   He has allowed millions in without going through any rational selection process.

Texas leader wants Biden kicked off state’s 2024 ballot over immigration

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Tuesday that President Biden should be taken off the 2024 ballot for causing an illegal immigration crisis.

His remark was in response to a Colorado court ruling that former President Donald Trump would be kept off that state’s ballot because he violated the Constitution’s so-called insurrection clause.

“Seeing what happened in Colorado makes me think — except we believe in democracy in Texas — maybe we should take Joe Biden off the ballot in Texas for allowing 8 million people to cross the border since he’s been president disrupting our state for more than anything anyone else has done in recent history,” Mr. Patrick, a Republican, said in an interview with Fox News.
