We deserve everything Biden is doing. THIS is what the Progressives wanted. They will get it good and hard, and there will be no stopping it. THIS is what a tyrannical government looks like. Enjoy the downfall. At this point, what difference does it make??
The Democratic Party stopped all public debate in 2020 when the field folded and anointed Biden as their figurehead. This was the first time in my life that they didn't engage in a circular firing squad -- and they chose to replicate the worst of Jimmy Carter!
Public debate would confirm that Trump Derangement Syndrome is fading. Slow fade or a rapid break?
That’s a lotta buts.
There simply cannot be enough immigrants from shithole countries to satisfy the self-loathing progressive soul.
The unintended consequences of this recklessness will go on for years. We're going to find kids and adults in all sorts of slavery situations. Violence will continue to rise. Weird diseases will spread. Unemployment will rise. But the democrats get to say they're compassionate so that makes everything ok.
this is the proceeds of the steal, it's not for him to offer anything, after enabling an invasion, of immense proportions,
Mine the border.

The progressives, the GOP establishment, the "independents" who didn't like the BadOrangeMan.
Such norms. Much restored. Wow.
The president wanted to create a path to U.S. citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants who have lived for years in the shadows.
not 11 now it's 16M. soon to be 21M
How is that strategy of Hope working out? Oh. Why not lead with the problem rather than the hopeful solution? Oh.
People respond to incentives. You're not allowed to be surprised by that...
I like that DeSantis allocated more money to ship these people to sanctuary cities. Ridiculous that we have to do it but then again the left is ridiculous...
watch the tape of Biden's 2020 platform.
He invited millions to cross the border illegally using the "Asylum" excuse.
Asylum is for people who are being threatened with death. Asylum is not for the world's down trodden who seek a better life. The US cannot absorb the worlds' population - because "better life" (funny all of the illegal entrants are from poorly run corrupt socialist hell-holes)
Biden and his mob-handlers know what they are doing. They are welcoming illegals so they can import millions of new government dependents and D- voters.

Biden and his handlers are doing just what they want to be done... chaos. And they still hope all those illegals will vote Democrat.
That has always been the plan.
"whether tougher measures might stem the flow"
Whether?. God, these people are dense.
Although I'm not buying premise. Their goal is to flood the zone with people they imagine will become their voters. This chaos is on them.
You wanted BIDEN, this is what you get. Millions of uneducated, no skill people flooding our country.
ENJOY!
Wow. Biden illegally offers open borders to all and a bonanza of wealth for free if you claim you are a refugee. But now complains that we are unexpectedly overwhelmed by crowd control issues.
What he means is those New Democrats were supposed to stay in and take over Texas and Arizona. Not NYC and Chicago.
Around 6 million illegal immigrants have come in since Biden took office.
There are 31 states with populations below 6M; Wisconsin has 5.8M and SC has 5.5M.
Madness. If the GOP was a real party Biden and several executive branch officers would be fighting impeachment--they're not even pretending to faithfully execute the laws of this nation.
Fundamental transformation continues unabated. Side benefit... fentanyl and meth for all and at closeout prices. Do it for the kids.
"His campaign promises of a more welcoming approach at the border have been repeatedly stymied by new waves of people crossing illegally . . .

Fox Butterfield, call your office.
the 11 million undocumented immigrants who have lived for years in the shadows
It's been "11 million" for the past 20 years.
The idea that a path to citizenship does not = more attempting to cross is mind boggling. If only the dems had a mind.
That's not going to make one bit of difference unless he plans to fast track millions annually into the legal channel and all of them from latin america, all of them low skilled. There's no deterrence from this administration ever. Their answer is to make what's illegal legal, which is the same as their strategy to "lower crime".
The only way a democrat is going to reduce illegal immigration is to make the US standard of living as lousy as the countries they are leaving. Biden is hard at work on that as we speak.
I am starting to agree with Soros, the United States should be destroyed, and the Democrats are just the guys to do it.
Or open borders as accused. Keep sending them north Governor Abbott. More and faster, it is a net economic gain for us.
There is NOTHING that democrats do that are not meant for them to gain more political power. It would really, really behoove the republicans to begin to do the same.
On what Constitutional basis does King Biden have the authority to do this?
The president wanted to create a path to U.S. citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants who have lived for years in the shadows. Biden also said he did not want mass migration and havoc at the border.
And nobody in the room is sane enough to realize that if you do the first, the second becomes even more likely?
[catastrophic] [anthropogenic] immigration reform (CAIR)
That said, build the wall to protect people from both sides of the border, save the domestic babies... butterflies for our Posterity, and engage foreign stake holders to process domestic reform. No one should feel compelled to emigrate. We should not rely on labor and environmental arbitrage to sustain our domestic politics.
I'm sure the guy who promised to enable a "surge" is feeling terribly stymied...

THIS.^^^ Before Biden it was more like 25 to 30 million...now add at least 5 million in the last 2 years.
AND they are illegal aliens, not undocumented immigrants.
"We deserve everything Biden is doing"
Speak for yourself.
Why does it seem like people in government are incabable of understanding that your statements don't matter, it's your actions that send the real message. It boils down to getting more of what you reward.
Biden's actions are a disaster. Unexpectedly of course.
illegal crossings are 2-5 million under Biden.
they are often shipped around the nation in secret at night.
This should be referred to as "Bullshit squared."
Madness. If the GOP was a real party Biden and several executive branch officers would be fighting impeachment--they're not even pretending to faithfully execute the laws of this nation.
Exactly !
"It's been "11 million" for the past 20 years."
WaPo is motivated to underreport the true number.
Biden also said he did not want mass migration and havoc at the border.
But he never gave his word as a Biden.
Here in CO -
Gov Polis(D) accepts hundreds upon hundreds of illegals, as we tax payers pay to house them in hotels. Polis HATES Christians. He makes no secret of his leftist hatred of Christians.
He is such a leftwing asshole he has the audacity to ask the "religious community" to step up and help Biden's illegal entrants.
the media call them "migrants' on behalf of The Party.
11 million + another 5 million+ under Biden.
Celebrate Mark. You too can chip in and pay.
Again, it is all a fraud. All 2.4 million of those who entered illegally last year could have just shown up at the border patrol stations and they would have been processed and given a court date and released inside the United States. Practically no one is being turned away- that is the reality.
"Biden also said he did not want mass migration and havoc at the border."
But he was lying.
wendybar (10:26am):
What disgusts me about calling illegal aliens "undocumented immigrants" is that the latter is a clear and useful term for a completely different thing. A legal immigrant who can't lay his hands on his green card when asked for it is in a world of trouble, even if it's not his fault. This must happen quite often, when a legal immigrant's house burns down, or someone picks his pocket, or he just absent-mindedly misplaces his wallet. Not having his documents on hand makes him a literal "undocumented immigrant", and 'borrowing' (really stealing) this clear and accurate description of a real thing to use as a sleazy dishonest euphemism for an entirely different thing is evil.
"I am starting to agree with Soros, the United States should be destroyed, and the Democrats are just the guys to do it."
I have to admit, it has become increasingly clear that as far as the rest of the world is concerned, we are the bad guys. We have troops stationed all over the world, "defending America's freedom". You have to wonder what "America's freedom" is doing in Africa.
In the long run, there is no real meaningful difference between mass legal and mass illegal immigration, the net result is the displacement of the native population and genocidal war.
Same with people who argue where exactly the right to "asylum" lies on the spectrum. The answer is it doesn't. The goths were facing genuine threats from the Huns, but letting them into the Roman Empire left an emperor beheaded and a third of the realm on fire.
The foreigner facing existential threats does not justify feeding them your own seed corn. And any individual sob story is irrelevant when policy inevitably affects orders more than any one case file.
Mine the border, sink the boats, deport them all. Or accept your ideological complicity in the bloodbath to come.
Trump showed Democrats how to stem the tide (mostly). That they refuse to do so is a mark of unwillingness, incompetence or malevolence.
By now, it seems like the latter. The only explanation for the Biden Administration is the one offered by Alfred to Bruce/Batman. It was something like, "Some men just want to watch the world burn."
Of course, grifting is in there somewhere. There's big money in illegal immigration for cartels and their accomplices.
All via the fourth branch of our government... Department of state.
This has been brewing for years.
And the kiddies are all about pronouns.
Suckers.
the 'story' is in WaPo, so it is propaganda, and lousy work at that.
Biden isn't aware of the border, or much else, except ice cream time when they give him his meds, and when they change his nappies.
People covering for that pathetic dreeb should be ashamed, except they are proud to be part of the cult of the stupid.
But at least we don't have mean tweets, or 2.00 gas, or a robust economy, or a peaceful world.

"... in the hope that he can dissuade millions more from crossing unlawfully
How is that supposed to work? Once he's made it clear that he doesn't "believe in" illegal immigration and will find a way to legitimize the entry of those who enter the country illegally, why would anyone who wants to come here be "dissuaded" from coming immediately?
Incentives work, as we all know. And "finding a path to citizenship" for 11 million already-here illegal entrants sounds to me like a pretty powerful incentive for more to keep coming.
"The highest ever" so far.
"The highest ever" so far.
the United States should be destroyed
Not destroyed. First, take a knee, beg, redistributive change. Then, abortion, women and girls with "benefits", Mengeled trials, two men and a womb, etc. are progressive processes in self-destruction.
I thought immigration laws and limits were the purview of Congress?
Remember when the Great Replacement Theory was a far-right extremist conspiracy theory? Much like the "They're coming for your gas stoves" conspiracy theory, it's coming true right in front of your eyes. Biden and his puppet masters have no intention of stopping the flow of illegal immigrants into this country. Their only concern with the Title 42 surge is whether they can ship them out to other areas of the country fast enough.
Of course, they intend that these folks will join the cohort of guaranteed Democrat voters. In the meantime, as they are ill-prepared to participate in a modern economy, having no skills and not speaking English, they need to be supported by government programs. Greatly expanded government programs. Those expanded government programs will obviously necessitate many more government workers. Unionized government workers. And those unions' political contributions totally support the Democrats.
This isn't a 'crisis', it's a carefully orchestrated plan that's working out fine, for Democrat politicians and their cronies. For everybody else, not so much. And unless Republicans can duplicate the Dems exploitation of the revisions in election law put in place during Covid (seems unlikely!), this is going to extend well into the future.
I live in a city of around 85000. 9% non-Hispanic white, like me. 51% Asian, 36% Latino. 50% foreign born, mostly Chinese and Vietnamese (Xi putting a halt on that). Still, very American feel. (Grew up in then very white and very English London, so I know what non-American feels like.)
Biden = 5 letters
Moron = 5 letters
Coincidence?
We report, you decide.
Biden has said and does say lots of things. Most of them are baldfaced lies, phony tales and/or false promises made to suit the prejudices of whatever audience he happens to be speaking to at the time.
His actual deeds tell the real story. No joke!
"Millions of uneducated, no skill people flooding our country."
Remarkably, black voters, many of whom could also be described that way, haven't noticed that THEIR political party is bringing in the people whose willingness to work for low wages makes wages and opportunity diminish for the blacks who were already here. Things had improved for blacks under Trump, because a rising tide lifted all boats, but now they're being undercut by the illegals who will do hard work for low wages. Thanks, Biden!
Reading the comments makes me do a double take. Admitting Biden’s evil criminality seeking our destruction in is every in comment, but tomorrow most will happily show distain for President Trumps very existence.
"Talk is cheap." "Actions speak louder than words" . There must be any number of old chestnuts that apply to Biden's BS.

Gov Polis(D)
5/10/23, 11:00 AM
Gov. Polis is quite expert at crafting policies that superficially seem positive, but in effect are destructive of the economic middle of our population.
In reality, he is more like than un-alike California's Newsom. Yet Polis seems perceived as compromising, balanced, and a [reasonably] good governor.
I, personally, sitting here in Fort Collins, believe that he may be the Colorado personification of Hamlet's statement that "One may smile and smile and yet be a villain." :-(
The reason Monty Python's Flying Circus is enjoying a revival in popularity these days is that the US at last has reached the ludicrous state of governance seen in Great Britain when that comedic reflection upon society first aired. Our decline can follow that of GB's as well, until we are just a minor economy in the world with a pitiful military, of no good to anyone. I hope we can still choose "or not" a an option.
"Joe Smith said...
Mine the border."
There's no denying that would work. And very well.
Plenty of room left on Martha's Vineyard, Beverley hills, Knob Hill, Beacon Hill, Forest Hill...the swells and toffs in every blue should get some skin in the game.
Quick. Someone tell WaPo that Joe Biden may have taken millions in bribes from foreign nationals. They seem not to have followed any of it.
And...this is my shocked face. What's the actual point of these newspapers any longer?
Biden's immigration policy has failed prior to this, so I don't know what kind of "test" they are expecting here. It is the equivalent of lighting a car on fire as a test, and then speculating if the ashes can be still be driven after applying a generous helping of C4.
Why am I supposed to get my news from people who are lying, oblivious, insane, and/or blatant propagandists? If some random person made such a statement, I would consider that person untrustworthy. The Washington Post is untrustworthy. We would be better off if they went out of business.
"The unintended consequences of this recklessness will go on for years. We're going to find kids and adults in all sorts of slavery situations. Violence will continue to rise. Weird diseases will spread. Unemployment will rise. But the democrats get to say they're compassionate so that makes everything ok."
"Kid and adults in slavery situations?" What do you mean? How?
"Violence will continue to rise." Hey, dude, most violence in Amurica is coming from good ole' Amuricans, born and bred! And it's rising without the help of outsiders.
"Weird diseases will spread." Uh...???? Wha--?
"Unemployment will rise...Things had improved for blacks under Trump, because a rising tide lifted all boats,* but now they're being undercut by the illegals who will do hard work for low wages. Thanks, Biden!"
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Unemployment fluctuates over time. Right now, for example is the time of reported lowest unemployment rate for blacks in America.
In all, you need to take some deep breaths and take a long view perspective. What is happening right now is always in flux, never the same forever, good or bad. And...illegal immigrants crossing our borders is far from the worst of the problems bedeviling the US, now or ever.
*(The majority have no boats. They just get flooded.)
We are about to have South America move to the USA... this is TREASON . There is no other word to say about it.
Biden is destroying the country and his JCS, as well as the Democrats, are just gonna look the other way.
Impeachment won't work cause of the Democrat Senate. Same for the 25th Amendment.
The vast majority of the citizens do not think this country is going at all in the right direction.
So where are we? What should the citizens do?
'And...illegal immigrants crossing our borders is far from the worst of the problems bedeviling the US, now or ever.'
Name a more pressing problem.
Have you spent any time at all in third-world nations?
I have.
The standard of living here will drop by necessity.
"And...illegal immigrants crossing our borders is far from the worst of the problems bedeviling the US, now or ever."
Yeah, but this one's fixable.

It sounded better in the original Latin.
Robert Cook,
Real wages, hourly and weekly, have been decreasing every single month since March 2021. You can check it out at the BLS if you don't believe me.
Who knew Robert Cook was so adamantly cool with depressing wages for his fellow Americans--especially the poorest Americans? On the other hand, maybe he just wants a super-cheap maid to clean his toilet--maybe he even feels good about that. My money says that he trying to hasten the Cloward-Piven strategy.
And...this is my shocked face. What's the actual point of these newspapers any longer?
I find it disappointing that Althouse still supports these newspapers with subscription(s). It's like rewarding bad behavior.

Okay, you 25 can shoplift at Walgreen's but after that, no more shoplifting.
I recently moved to an area in the mid-south. Burgeoning doesn't quite describe the growth locally. Were it not for illegal aliens there would be no housing construction,new roads or business offices. I would have no home.
