Every month America now gets a new city the size of Pittsburgh – that’s how many migrants are pouring across our borders. But the REAL sickener? Neither Biden OR Trump want to fix it… and the reason will outrage you

Venezuelan migrant gangsters in New York City drag a 62-year-old woman behind their moped and slam her into a bike rack before making off with her cell phone.

The Denver Department of Public Schools suddenly finds itself in an $18 million hole after recently enrolling more than 2,800 migrant children.

Poor African-American families in Boston are being evicted from a community center so the city can house dozens of desperate immigrants living at Logan International Airport.

“You don’t care about those who were born and raised here,” a man shouted at the guards outside the gate.

Can you blame him?

That same anger is exploding on the south side of Chicago, where hundreds are protesting temporary tent cities in their neighborhoods — or in Brooklyn, where high schools are being converted into migrant shelters.

Vignettes of a country tearing itself apart – politically and functionally – over a crushing crisis at its southern border.

And the only thing more disgusting than America’s deeply broken immigration system is the shocking reality that the country’s political leaders refuse to come together to solve the problem.

“The only reason the border isn’t secure is because of Trump and his MAGA Republican friends,” President Joe Biden outrageously claimed from the White House on Tuesday, putting the nail in the coffin of America’s most important immigration reform bill in a generation.

But the simple, sickening truth is that neither party’s presidential candidate really wanted this bill to pass.

Both prefer to play a deeply cynical political game that gambles on the likelihood of that happening their voters will blame the other side as the crisis rages on endlessly.

December 2023 was the worst month in history for illegal crossings at the US-Mexico border, with more than 300,000 people crossing for the first time ever.

That’s the equivalent of the entire population of Pittsburgh.

By some estimates, America’s illegal immigration population has nearly doubled under Biden to as many as 20 million.

The immigration reform bill negotiated by a bipartisan group of senators would not have solved every problem in the U.S. immigration system — but it was good enough to secure the support of the U.S. Border Patrol Union, which backed President Donald Trump in 2020.

“While not perfect, the Border Act of 2024 is a step in the right direction and far better than the current status quo,” said Brandon Judd, chairman of the National Border Patrol Council.

The $118 billion national security package — which also included funding for the wars in Ukraine and Israel — would have reformed lax asylum laws, allowing almost anyone to reach the border and claim entry.

Millions have taken advantage of this loophole, knowing they will be released domestically and it will take years for their claims to be decided.

Many never return for their court appearance.

And the bill would have rolled back this administration’s gross corruption of an obscure humanitarian parole program that Biden has exploited to allow 1.5 million people into the US since 2021.

So how could this bipartisan deal be dead on arrival in Congress, you may ask?

President Biden does not want a solution to the border crisis; he wants a political ointment.

On the one hand, he is desperately trying to shore up his support with swing voters angry that he has unleashed the worst mass migration crisis in history — and the crime and overpopulation that comes with it.

But on the other hand, Biden is running scared of the young radical progressives who are already angry at him for being old and siding with Israel against Hamas.

They think the unfettered flow of illegal immigrants is fine and would be embarrassed if Democrats did anything to stop it.

So Biden pretends that he wants to pass the bill, but is doing everything he can to sabotage it.

How else do you explain why he sent Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as the bill’s main cheerleader?

Mayorkas has the least credibility of anyone in Washington after years of claiming the border was “secure.”

“The bipartisan deal in the Senate is tough, fair, and includes meaningful steps to address the challenges our country faces after decades of congressional inaction,” Mayorkas tweeted Sunday evening as the bill’s text was released.

Good strategy, Alejandro.

Insult the members whose votes you need!

If Biden really wanted to implement comprehensive immigration reform, he would have taken the stage at the White House, admitted his mistakes and pledged to reverse his disastrous day one decisions that led to this crisis.

Biden campaigned in 2020 on a promise to provide health care to illegal immigrants, and on his first day in office repealed all Trump-era border protection provisions (many of which he now claims he will restore).

In September 2021, this president falsely accused mounted Border Patrol agents of beating Haitian migrants crossing the border illegally in Del Rio, Texas.

The whole episode – a hoax perpetrated from the presidential podium.

More than a year later, the officers were cleared of any wrongdoing and Biden has never apologized.

For three years he claimed the border was secure. Now he admits it hasn’t been safe for “ten years” and that “MAGA Republicans” are to blame.

To quote a man: that’s malarkey.

Of course, the GOP isn’t blameless here.

They have rightly convinced the American people that the country is being “invaded.”

But now, at Donald Trump’s direction, they have walked away from something that could help, even incrementally, because the presumptive Republican nominee does not want to give his weakened opponent a political life raft.

Today, Trump has the upper hand on immigration. The poll is clear. But will that advantage continue after we walk away from this deal?

Time will tell.

There is a large middle section of the American electorate that wants more policymaking and less grandeur.

They should dig a deep hole and stay there until 2025.

Republicans threw their shot at once-in-a-generation changes to the immigration system, reforms that Democrats have never agreed to and may never agree to again.

The sad truth is that Biden and Trump have both calculated that the immigration crisis will be a net positive for them this fall.

It’s just two old scapegoats bumping into each other and competing to sit on top of a disaster.
