Joe Biden Still “Figuring Out” Why Immigrants Cross Illegally Into US
Can President Biden be so out of it that he really needs to appoint a fact-finding mission to figure out why illegals wish to enter the US?
Some of the President’s recent comments would make you think so. During a recent press event, Biden said that his administration is committed to improving the border crisis by trying to “figure out” why migrants are leaving their home countries for the US in the first place.
“We’re working a lot with neighboring countries. A lot to do,” Biden said during a meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris and the National Governors Association (NGA) at the White House.
“I think one of the fundamental things we’ve got to do in addition to some of the changes we’ll make, which we won’t get into it today, is that if we figure out why they’re leaving in the first place,” the president continued. “It’s not like people sit around and say, in Guadalajara, ‘I got a great idea, let’s sell everything we have, give it to a coyote, take us across the border, leave us in the desert in a country doesn’t want us. We don’t speak the language. Won’t that be fun?’
“You know, there are gangs we’re working on, there’s a whole lot of illegal movement, but there’s also a way to begin to deal with the reason they’re leaving in the first place,” he added.
Biden’s comments came after Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, a Republican and chairman of the NGA, asked the president to explain what the administration is doing to help remedy the influx of migrants over the southern border.
“I had the opportunity to serve in the Bush administration and on border security, so I know how tough it is. I know how difficult it is,” Hutchinson said. “Some of the governors have actually sent our National Guard resources, you know, to the border to assist at state expense. So, we’d welcome your comments as to how you’re meeting this challenge and the plans for the future in that regard.”
VP Harris, who was appointed by Biden last March to handle the border crisis, did not mention her efforts surrounding immigration during her remarks at the NGA meeting.
The Biden administration in July rolled out its strategies to address the “root causes” of migration from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.
The Root Causes Strategy unveiled on July 29 is broken down into five pillars: addressing economic insecurity and inequality; combating corruption, strengthening democratic governance and advancing the rule of law; promoting respect for human rights, labor rights, and a free press; countering and preventing violence, extortion, and other crimes perpetrated by criminal gangs, trafficking networks and other organized criminal organizations; and combating sexual, gender-based and domestic violence.
But despite such “on paper” efforts, migrant encounters at the southern border increased again in December from the prior month, according to data provided to a federal court by the Biden administration – the latest sign that the crisis at the border is likely to continue well into 2022.
Well if I was sitting in Mexico and the President of the United States says I am going to give you $450,000.00 to come to the USA and don’t worry about coming legally. I think for about a second and say to myself, self, let’s get out of this shit hole now.
Get Biden out of our White House any way possible and do it now! He is a disaster from day one.
Yes I read that and wish I could get SS benefits but can’t because of an $1100 pension for teaching a few years in public school. I would like to se Biden live on that for a while.
The problem is that hidenbiden invited them to invade the border, and would let them in free of charge.Now he has to uninvite them, close the dam border and they will quit coming.Is this senile,frail.old,fool that forgetful of what he told them in the first place, he is a danger to America,selling us out.
Simple, Because they Can !
Long-term ‘Rewards’ outweigh the “risks’
Here I can give you the way to stop the illegal Aliens from coming across our borders and stop the human traffickers. Build the damn wall and stop giving away tax payer money to support these illegals. Such as welfare housing, medical,and schooling. Stop giving away our money. And prosecute
All the criminals. They can afford to spend 4 or 5,000 dollars for the coyote to Sneak them across the border. They can hire an attorney and if they want to become a citizen and pay their fair share. Then do it legally. 72% of the illegals in California are on some sort of welfare
That is paid for by the American taxpayers, and should only be for American Citizens.
Well that would be great but Biden wants illegals to come for the Democrap vote. They will vote democrap even though they are not really illegible to vote. Voter ID and voter registration is needed. I have always been asked for my ID but now they are trying to do away with it? Crazy! just crazy!
It sounds like they have the exact problems down there, that we have in the U.s. Wouldn’t it be a great idea if Biden used OUR TAX DOLLARS to help us with these same issues. But he’d rather spend my money lining the pockets of their corrupt officials. Biden pockets must be full.
Sorry to say but Joe should be in jail for the FUNDS that are being MISAPPROPRIATED to provide funds to move illegals all around the country illegally funds have not been APPROPRIATED FOR THIS. He is breaking the law and someone needs to do something about this HE IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW.
How about “free everything” paid for by the American taxpayer???
Are you kidding? Sleepy Joe Biden knows why illegals are coming into the U.S. He’s dumping them throughout the U.S for their future Votes and the very first thing on our next Republican presidents list to do is to locate them and kick them out of our country
Noodlebrain Joe is destroying America on purpose.He works for China remember and his junkie son. And the brainless yoyos that voted for him r now regretting it.
Old Joe knows exactly what he’s doing. His goal is to destroy America for his good buddy Xi.
What pure unadulterated pap. Joey missplaced his mind a long time ago and he can’t find it. The puppet masters must have lost the connection to the earphones.
joe is still trying to figure out who HE is, let alone anything else.
