CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 6, 2023
AFTER FALSELY CLAIMING FOR TWO YEARS THAT THE SOUTHERN BORDER IS “SECURE,” THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS DECIDED TO FINISH BUILDING A BORDER WALL IN SOUTHERN TEXAS BECAUSE OF WHAT IT CALLS “AN ACUTE AND IMMEDIATE NEED” TO STEM THE FLOW OF ILLEGAL MIGRANTS. HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETERY ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS IS SUSPENDING 26 ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND USING MONEY APPROPRIATED BY CONGRESS IN 2019 WHEN DONALD TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT.
THE ADMINISTRATION MUST BE LOOKING AT POLLS SHOWING THE GROWING CONCERN OF NOT ONLY THE PUBLIC, BUT DEMOCRAT MAYORS AND GOVERNORS, LIKE ERIC ADAMS AND KATHY HOCHUL OF NEW OF NEW YORK. BOTH HAVE BEEN PLEADING WITH THE ADMINISTRATION TO DO SOMETHING BECAUSE THEY ARE OVERWHELMED.
THIS IS A CYNICAL POLITICAL PLOY. MORE THAN TWO MILLION HAVE ENTERED THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY IN JUST FISCAL 2023, INCLUDING PEOPLE ON THE TERRORIST WATCH LIST, SEXUAL PREDATORS AND OTHER CRIMINALS; AFTER AN UNKNOWN NUMBER OF GOTAWAYS, THAT INCLUDE CHINESE, IRANIANS AND WHO KNOWS WHO ELSE, THE ADMINISTRATION IS DOING WHAT IT SHOULD HAVE DONE FROM THE START. BUT PRESIDENT BIDEN HAD SO MUCH HATRED FOR TRUMP THAT HE PREFERRED TO REVERSE ALL OF HIS POLICIES.
SOME MIGHT SAY “BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.” BUT IT’S TOO LATE. THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE AND MORE DAMAGE WILL COME. I’M CAL THOMAS.
