Jim Banks, an Indiana Republican, called for Biden to say Riley\u2019s name during his address, just like Democrats have repeatedly demanded Republicans say the names of reported victims of police brutality. Biden did indeed utter the name of the young woman who is becoming, for better or worse, the face of the foreign invasion flooding cities, strapping resources, poisoning young people with fentanyl, and, in some cases, leading to the violent murder of Americans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Polling shows the issue also is a massive political headache for an incumbent president who already has an uphill climb to hold on to the White House. According to a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/02\/27\/gallup-poll-bidens-border-invasion-is-americans-no-1-worry\/\">Gallup poll,<\/a> illegal immigration is the no. 1 concern of American voters and Biden\u2019s No. 1 political vulnerability.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biden Policy Priority: Blame Republicans\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Finally forced to deal with the mess Democrats created in their three-plus years holding the White House, Biden blamed Republicans. He blamed his \u201cpredecessor\u201d and presumed challenger in November, though he wouldn\u2019t call former President Donald Trump by name. His predecessor is poisoning the political well, Biden insists, encouraging congressional Republicans to suffocate the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.appropriations.senate.gov\/imo\/media\/doc\/emergency_national_security_supplemental_bill_text.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The illegal amnesty measure, puppeted in large part by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., died under its own morbidly obese weight. As my Federalist colleague Kylee Griswold <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/02\/06\/senate-border-bill-is-nothing-but-a-democrat-propaganda-op\/#:~:text=It%20would%20allow%20nearly%202,Security%20and%20closing%20the%20border.\">wrote<\/a>, the bill \u201cwould allow nearly 2 million illegal aliens into the country in one year \u2014 as long as the numbers stay below 5,000 entries per day for seven consecutive days, or below 8,500 border encounters in a single day \u2014 before triggering \u2018emergency authority\u201d for the Department of Homeland Security and closing the border. Even then there are exceptions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will give me and any new president temporary authority to shut down the border when the number of migrants at the border is overwhelming,\u201d Biden shouted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Really? The number of illegal immigrants at the border has been \u201coverwhelming\u201d since the day Biden took office. With the stroke of his pen on his first day, Biden reversed border security measures his \u201cpredecessor\u201d put in place. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a fact the Democrat didn\u2019t bring up in his campaign speech. As Merrill Mathews <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/4423296-matthews-illegal-immigrants-double-under-biden-and-thats-just-the-start\/\">wrote<\/a> in late January for The Hill, the number of illegal immigrants in the United States has nearly doubled since Biden took office. In 2020, the estimates showed there were about 10.2 illegal immigrants in the country. As of January, there were nearly 20 million, about the population of New York, Matthews noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Biden pushed a provision in the bill he insists would drop illegal immigrant processing times from years to weeks. Gallingly, that\u2019s an issue his critics have been talking about for years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople pay smugglers [$8,000] to get them across the borders because they know if they get by and let into the country, it\u2019s six to eight years before they have a hearing,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s worth taking the chance with the $8,000. But if it\u2019s only six months, six weeks, the idea is highly unlikely that people will pay that much money and come all the way knowing that they\u2019ll be kicked out quickly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was about as absurd a statement as has ever been uttered from a president who has constantly struggled with the truth. Illegal foreign citizens by the droves are coming here because Biden and his administration have told them to come. They restored catch and release, undercut remain in Mexico, stopped construction of border barriers, and have illegally allowed millions of foreign citizens to falsely seek asylum for economic reasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When Republicans challenged his disingenuous assertions from their seats, the addled president demanded they read the bill.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know you know how to read,\u201d he sneered, with his throng of leftist allies laughing and applauding their fresh, new 81-year-old candidate\u2019s vigor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As he struggled and garbled his way through swaths of his speech, the question could rightly be turned on the president.\u00a0But it was Biden\u2019s mangling of the name of the young woman who appears to be a victim of his open border policies that will be remembered long after his campaign speech from the hall of the House.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-87d09cd27f9fd80ffd815b24083ce9af fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-87d09cd27f9fd80ffd815b24083ce9af\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">    \t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The moment at Thursday\u2019s State of the Union address that summed up President Joe Biden\u2019s disastrous and dangerous tenure came with the name of a Georgia college student reportedly murdered by an illegal immigrant \u2014 a name Biden characteristically butchered.\u00a0 The exchange in which U.S. Rep.
