The Biden immigration debacle grows worse

 The Lid:

No country can sustain this level of migration.

The Biden-Harris administration’s “humane” handling of the crisis at the Southern border has emboldened the cartels and encouraged desperate people willing to make the dangerous trek across the United States with the assistance of human smugglers.

Breitbart News reports that over a half-million illegal aliens crossed the border between the beginning of April and mid-May. The Breitbart article states that this is during a span of “10 weeks,” but it’s actually much worse — it’s barely over 7 weeks.

Between April 1 and May 15 approximately 513,000 migrants illegally crossed the southwest border with Mexico. The number reflects apprehensions cited in the April Southwest Border Migration Report and unofficial numbers obtained from a law enforcement source within CBP.

The source stated that agents apprehended approximately 47,000 migrants just in the past seven days.

Until recently, the Rio Grande Valley and Del Rio Sectors led the nation in migrant apprehensions. However, a recent surge in the El Paso Sector pushed the remote Texas-New Mexico sector into the lead, Breitbart Texas reported. The source told Breitbart that El Paso Sector agents detained nearly 5,000 migrants in area processing center on Monday. Haitian migrants accounted for about 50 percent of this total.

The El Paso Sector currently sits at more than double its standard capacity. The source says in recent days, migrant apprehensions in the sector have exceeded 1,500. Del Rio Sector officials report their processing centers are approximately 40 percent over capacity.

By the way, when the liberal media tells you Cackling Kamala went to the border, that’s a lie. El Paso is a city on the US-Mexico border, but the border Czar only went to the city. The VP never went across town to the border.

That’s like bringing in a little more than the population of Fresno, California, into the country in less than 8 weeks.

Earlier this month, CBP reported 201,000 apprehensions of illegal border crossers in April — a new record high that surpassed the previous record that was hit in the last year of the Clinton administration.

While the Biden-Harris admin insists that the border “is not open” — the flood of migrants says otherwise. It’s pretty clear that people from around the globe who want in aren’t getting the memo.

CBP is also reporting that they’re seeing a dramatic increase in family units and unaccompanied minors.

...

Biden's policy is nuts and he has no justification for it.  It does look like he is trying to import voters whom Democrats will give amnesty to because they can't get enough citizens to vote for them.  In the process, the Democrats are losing their grip on the Hispanic vote.  The latest polling on Hispanics shows 26% support for Biden and the Democrats.  They used to get a majority of that vote.

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
