For years now, ever since he took office, Joe Biden has insisted that a wall on America’s southern border wouldn’t help the illegal alien crisis he created when he took office and trashed all of President Donald Trump’s border security programs.
Now he’s suddenly reversing himself, and Byron York, the chief political correspondent for the Washington Examiner, has an explanation why.
He wrote, “A presidential campaign is underway. Might that be a factor in this? Of course it is. What Biden is hoping to do with this action is to satisfy those Democrats who have become troubled by the border disaster. They will ignore the massive hypocrisy of Biden restarting Trump’s wall if they can say that something is being done about the problem.”
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas posted a notice this week that dozens of federal laws will be “waived” so that border wall construction, a project launched by President Trump, who actually saw hundreds of miles built, could resume.
York’s commentary noted, “JOE BIDEN PLEDGED ‘NOT ANOTHER FOOT’ OF BORDER WALL. NOW HE’S BUILDING IT. It’s rare for what is known in the federal bureaucracy as a ‘notice of determination’ to make news. But this week, the Department of Homeland Security issued what might be called a quiet bombshell with such a notice. ‘The Secretary of Homeland Security has determined,’ it announced, ‘that it is necessary to waive certain laws, regulations, and other legal requirements in order to ensure the expeditious construction of barriers and roads in the vicinity of the international land border in Starr County Texas.'”
That, he said, “is a complete reversal of Biden’s campaign promises in 2020. It is also, after three disastrous years of mass border incursions by illegal crossers, a step down from the moral high horse Biden has ridden on this for three years.”
Biden previously promised that there would “not be another foot of wall constructed” during his term.
“It’s hard to exaggerate how wrong-headed Biden’s position was. First, a physical barrier — a fence or a wall — stops, or at least significantly slows, illegal border crossers. Second, many high-tech measures have proven both expensive and ineffective. And third, Biden’s policies made sure that lots of ‘bad stuff,’ that is millions of illegal crossings, took place away from the ports of entry. Biden screwed everything up,” he wrote.
Then Biden adopted a sense of “moral righteousness” and effectively opened the border.
“If you cross into the United States, you will be allowed to stay,” he indicated.
Millions came.
“It’s hard to know exactly how many, but so far in Biden’s presidency, the number is at least 7 million, perhaps more than that. Small towns in Texas, in the hard-hit Rio Grande Valley Sector, were overrun,” York said.
But then Texas Gov. Greg Abbott starting sending buses loaded with illegals to New York. And other liberal cities.
“All of a sudden, officials in the nation’s largest and richest ‘sanctuary city’ began howling. This is a terrible burden! We can’t support this! Go back to where you came from!” he explained.
He finished, “From the Republican side, one thing is certain: Trump will savage Biden for this, and Biden will deserve every bit of the savaging. If any other Republican, such as Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, or anyone else, becomes the GOP nominee, they, too, will attack Biden relentlessly, and Biden will deserve every attack.”
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Believe it or not, today’s high priests of climate-change apocalypse are correct in predicting that in just a few short years, the earth will become miserable, wretched and almost uninhabitable by human beings. But the grim future they envision won’t come about because of “catastrophic climate change,” but rather, because of the implementation of their completely insane and truly catastrophic agenda.
As Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore recently admitted, “If they actually achieve Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease.” Likewise, writes energy expert and author Alex Epstein: “Today’s proposed policies to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use would, if fully implemented, have truly apocalyptic consequences – making the world an impoverished, dangerous, and miserable place for most people.”
Question: When the scientific case for global warming apocalypse consists primarily of a 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature over more than 130 years, what explains the obsession with an imminent, climate-caused end of the world?
Although many groups have been drawn into the Climate Change Cult – from the news media (which has warned of climate catastrophe, either global warming or a “new ice age,” for over a century!), to innocent school kids indoctrinated by hysterical leftist teachers, to liberal Democrats who claim “climate change” will destroy the earth in a few years – the REAL villains are the national and global elites who KNOW the apocalyptic global warming religion is just a cruel hoax, but promote and exploit it as a means of accomplishing their ultimate goal: Transforming and ruling the world.
The heart and soul of today’s bizarre, pagan climate-change religion, and the global elites’ strategies for using it to rule all of mankind, is powerfully exposed and illuminated in the September issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, an issue titled “CULT OF THE CLIMATE APOCALYPSE: The elites’ breathtaking strategy for ruling the world.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
