Biden pandering to Mexico on immigration

 HotAir:

...

I assumed that Biden wouldn't reinstate any Trump-era policies because it would have looked like an admission of an error on his part and he simply didn't want to give Trump the satisfaction, But Johnson says that wasn't the case at all. He claims that he "begged" Biden to reverse the policy, but he refused for an entirely different reason. He claims that Biden didn't want to reverse it because "‘Mexico doesn’t want that.'”

Since when is Mexico determining the immigration policies of the United States? The previous president (AMLO) didn't want the Remain in Mexico policy either, but Donald Trump played hardball with them and they caved. When pressed as to why he couldn't do the same, all Biden reportedly had to say was that "things have changed."

What sort of leverage could Mexico have had over Biden that they didn't have over Trump? We remain Mexico's largest trading partner by a massive amount. We hold the weight of the world over Mexico's head. Trump chose to leverage that advantage to get what he wanted out of them. Why was Biden unable or unwilling to do the same? If this were China or Ukraine we were ta.king about, we might suspect that Biden had been compromised in some fashion, but... Mexico? This simply makes no sense, but few things do when it comes to this administration. Just toss this one on the pile along with the other mysteries that may or may not be solved one of these days.

This is more evidence that Trump was a much better president and that the US was much better off with him in office.  Biden failed to use the economic leverage that the US has in dealing with a Mexican government that is facilitating the flow of illegals into this country.

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
