NY Post Editorial Board: Don’t Believe Biden BS on Border Crisis — Which IS Getting Worse

President Joe Biden’s Border Crisis is still He is becoming more and more pathetic “fixes” These are It is impossible to stop it by doing nothing. 

Team Joe points to the latest statistics from Customs and Border Protection, which show that January saw fewer illegal crossings than December. The problem is that January is almost over. Always The low of the year is due to weather.

In fact, the January 2023 total of 156,274 migrant encounters — is worse than The last year’s January total This is the 22nd highest January.

For a total of 6,000,000, that’s 6 million monthly encounters above 150,000 in total. This includes 1.2 million gotaways — migrants spotted but not arrested — plus however many crossed without even being seen.

The influx is straining border towns like El Paso. Even their second-point destinations, such as New York City, are suffering; Gotham’s even begun to feel the pinch. You can ship them to Canada (drawing outrage Quebec’s premier). 

Notable: Migrants are coming Starting at You can also travel further and further away. Of January’s 156,274, more than 43% (some 67,690) hailed originally from neither Mexico nor the Northern Triangle countries. Significant numbers are Now coming from Russia and China.

Is it Biden’s fault? Todd Bensman explained it in The Post last Wednesday. The Mexican government actually orchestrated a wave of migrants He bet that he would blink and hit the border just as he took office. The test was a failure. Worse, he failed the test twice more.

His biggest such move — setting new rules for migrants from Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti and Nicaragua — actually involves simply legalizing Many potential future immigrants from these nations will be coming from these countries. Team Biden hasn’t explained how it’ll maintain those restrictions when Title 42 is finally repealed in a few short months.

He didn’t mention the crisis in his long State of the Union speech. Instead, he used it mainly as an excuse for Republicans refusing to pass his State of the Union speech. “comprehensive immigration reform” — which would basicAlly end illegal immigration by making it all legal. 

Biden’s party offers nothing but morality theater when migrants die. Children are trafficked Unchecked, deadly fentanyl flow In the country. The public is furious: 63% of Americans (per Gallup), are currently dissatisfied at current immigration levels, which are the highest for a decade. 

We understand that migrants are looking for a better life. Not A valid reason to apply for asylum. But the Biden policy isn’t sustainable. This is something that can’t be changed by any amount of blame-throwing.
