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.

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
