Biden camoflagues his open borders policy

DC Daily Journal:

...

Jen Psaki, President Biden’s former press secretary, revealed on Wednesday that her former boss’s executive order on the besieged southern border was intended to address a “political vulnerability” ahead of the 2024 election, after the president refused to answer questions about the timing of the action.

The order, issued Tuesday, will close the US-Mexico border if the number of immigrants crossing exceeds 2,500 per day for seven consecutive days.

It will remain in effect for two weeks after crossings averaged 1,500 each day for seven days, officials added.

During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Psaki talked openly about Biden’s political calculations that led to the most recent executive order.

“There needs to be something that’s done, but also, politically, this is one of the biggest vulnerabilities,” the former White House press secretary said.

Dad explains why he moved the superintendent aside following a stormy argument during daughter’s graduation.

“And regardless of who’s mad about the details of what’s in here and what isn’t in here, it’s a political vulnerability for the president and his campaign. They know that,” she added.

“They knew they would have to do something like an executive order before the election politically as well. And that’s what we’re seeing play out.”

Biden refrained from answering any questions about his decision when it was announced Tuesday, including the obviously heard remark, “Why now?” – despite critics pointing out that the move comes five months and one day before the November 5 election.
...

Polling shows that a huge majority opposes Biden's open borders policies.  In recognition of that Biden is doing is pretending to do something about the influx of illegals whicle keep the borders open.  This is another reason to vote against Biden and other Democrats who support the open borders policy.

Biden Admin Orders Release of Migrants Into US Despite Ban

Two days after issuing an executive order it framed as a tough crackdown on illegal immigration, the Biden administration countermanded its own order by instructing U.S. border agents in southwestern California to release migrants from 94 of 100 countries in the Eastern Hemisphere into the United States, the Washington Examiner reported Friday.

Citing a Border Patrol document that leaked Thursday, the Examiner reported the new guidance to federal law enforcement in the San Diego region: "Please see updated Presidential Proclamation guidance below, this is effective immediately."

According to the new guidance, adults from only Georgia, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan will be referred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for speedy removal, according to the report. Everyone else gets into the U.S. to await their asylum process, same as before.

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.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
