It\u2019s the closest Biden will be to the southern border since taking office.<\/p>\n<p>The president is right to visit Uvalde, but there\u2019s no reason he can\u2019t visit the border too, even though he will most likely use his trip to grandstand about restricting Americans\u2019 access to guns. Uvalde is about an hour from illegal immigration hotspots such as Eagle Pass and Del Rio, making them an easy stop for Biden, who hasn\u2019t visited the border in <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/immigration\/574236-biden-hasnt-visited-the-border-in-over-a-decade-his-policies-show-it\/\">more than a decade<\/a>, next week. <\/p>\n<p>Despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caller.com\/story\/news\/columnists\/john-moritz\/2022\/05\/14\/why-texas-democrats-echo-governor-greg-abbott-call-joe-biden-border-visit\/9761443002\/\">repeated calls<\/a> for Biden to physically address the border crisis that he created by repealing Trump-era law enforcement, the White House did not announce any plans for the Democrat\u2019s motorcade to stop at the <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/05\/04\/another-record-breaking-number-of-illegal-immigrants-caught-trying-to-cross-the-border-in-april\/\">overwhelmed border<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Deaths at the U.S.-Mexico border, especially involving illegal border crossers, are on the rise after the president and his team\u00a0explicitly <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/01\/18\/joe-biden-is-opening-the-door-to-a-mess-on-day-1\/\">welcomed illegal immigration<\/a>. While it\u2019s difficult to calculate just how many tragedies have occurred since the Biden administration issued an unofficial\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thefdrlst.wpengine.com\/2021\/03\/18\/the-biden-administration-is-imposing-a-media-blackout-at-the-border\/\">gag order<\/a>\u00a0to cut off the press from accessing data held by federal officials, recent press coverage suggests that fatalities from drowning, heat exhaustion, and starvation are becoming more frequent. <\/p>\n<p>In 2021, at least\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/12\/09\/politics\/migrants-dying-crossing-us-mexico-border\/index.html\">650 migrants<\/a>\u00a0died during their attempts to illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border. Many of them succumbed to heat exposure and drowning but others were killed by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/12\/25\/migrants-being-killed-in-turf-wars-between-mexico-cartels\/\">feuding Mexican cartels.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tragedies specifically in Del Rio, which is about an hour\u2019s drive from Uvalde, are also on the rise. In the first half of 2021, officials documented a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kens5.com\/article\/news\/special-reports\/at-the-border\/record-number-of-migrant-deaths-reported-this-year-in-del-rio\/273-4353ba4d-7df7-49e6-9f9c-01adcf26a94a\">record-breaking<\/a>\u00a066 deaths among illegal border-crossers. That\u2019s nearly double the lives lost the entire year before. <\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, two Angolan brothers, 7 and 9 years old, died near Del Rio after they <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/05\/09\/the-biden-administration-is-turning-the-border-into-a-graveyard-for-illegal-immigrants\/\">were swept away<\/a> by the rushing Rio Grande while trying to illegally cross the southwest U.S. border with their parents.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s deliberate decision to avoid the ongoing border crisis because it is politically inconvenient for him and his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/politics\/bidens-approval-dips-to-lowest-of-presidency-polls-finds\">plummeting approval rating<\/a> is not an isolated event. As Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy noted to the White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in a press briefing last week, Biden rushed to visit Buffalo, N.Y. after a deadly grocery store shooting by a white supremacist but not Waukesha, Wis. after a criminal who <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/11\/24\/suspect-charged-in-waukesha-tragedy-called-for-violence-against-white-people\/\">called for violence against white people<\/a> mowed down dozens of Christmas parade performers and bystanders. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"AvZTbl44VmAdBfpeydZhiUTESV3mvUGYoSQRzxq9tbhugJpXrFfj9IWICgzeNru8wPyns1DxOJYRWt8kl7CaN76MXGHB\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Peter Doocy asks why Joe Biden is going to visit Buffalo, NY but he didn&#8217;t visit Waukesha after a deadly terror attack by a racist black supremacist:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I mean, he&#8217;s visited many communities, um, Buffalo. you know?
