Immigration

In a stunningly economically illiterate opinion piece in The Washington Post, columnist Catherine Rampell argues that President Joe Biden can solve rampant inflation by letting more immigrants into the United States. 

Given the busy news week, we wanted on Monday morning to recap the best and the worst from Thursday and Friday’s episodes of The Psaki Show and hone in on Fox’s Peter Doocy sparring with Press Secretary Jen Psaki over COVID cases around the President and Vice President and then free cellphones for illegal immigrants.

After spending the previous segment celebrating Senate Democrats’ successful confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, the NBC Meet the Press panel eventually turned to despair when they realized this might be the last legislative success of the Biden administration before the midterms (and if Republicans take control of Congress the last period).

Remind us: who is Biden's border czar? We seem to remember that it's Kamala Harris--even if, after more than a year in office, she hasn't actually made it to the border.  But there was Tiffany Cross on her MSNBC show this morning, in effect accusing Biden-Harris of a racist, "double-standard," immigration policy favoring white Ukrainians over asylum seekers from Central America and Africa.

A couple recent episodes of the Paramount+ series Star Trek: Picard featured Starfleet crew members traveling back in time to present day to beat up U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, free a busload of illegal immigrants on their way to be deported, and lecture that racism just “took off a hood and put on a suit” in the early 21st Century.

If it wasn’t already clear that the networks want to avoid talking about the crisis at the border, that fact was proven all over again on Thursday. Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced on Wednesday that, due to the federal government’s refusal to deal with the immigration problem, he will be sending busloads of illegals to the steps of the Capitol in Washington D.C. 

Wednesday’s Psaki Show marked a contrast between the constructive and the absurd as Fox’s Peter Doocy engaged the White House press secretary on questions surrounding President Biden’s son Hunter and brother Jim and, as other reporters would as well, immigration. But in contrast, others expressed discomfort with a lack of COVID restrictions, raised concerns about right-wing terrorism, and…

Denial of the southern border crisis hit a new and very dumb low during Wednesday’s edition of The View as ABC co-host Joy Behar openly scoffed at the fact that drugs, specifically fentanyl from China, were coming into the United States over the border. She even suggested those facts were just “Fox News” “talking points,” and demanded Ukrainian refugees be accused of smuggling in…

Joe Biden just made the spiraling crisis on the southern border a lot worse. The question is, will the compliant networks even notice? Last week, the Biden administration announced it would be lifting Title 42, a COVID-era health policy that allows for the immediate expulsion of illegals attempting to cross the border. Considering that the February border crossing were already 63 percent…

The corporate media’s effort to suppress any news of the ongoing border disaster, which is expected to accelerate after the Biden Administration’s widely advertised repeal of Title 42, includes suppression of the recent overrun of the Mexican National Guard near the border with Guatemala.

Millions flee Ukraine. Where will they go? Some want to come to America. But doing that legally is hard. A complex system is supposed to determine which people deserve to get in line to get in. “The line is broken,” explains Reason Magazine editor at large Matt Welch in my new video. For example, America has a nursing shortage, but immigration authorities turn away foreign nurses.

The Biden Administration is considering ending Trump-era COVID Title 42 policies that make it easier to deport migrants who show up at the southern border. In the meantime, exemptions are open to Ukrainians which led MSNBC’s Jose Diaz-Balart and Allen Orr of the American Immigration Lawyers Association to cry racism on the former’s Thursday show.

This week, word trickled out that the Biden administration would move ahead with long-rumored plans to let Title 42 end, which was a COVID-19 rule implemented by the Trump administration to expel most illegal immigrants to prevent the spread of the virus. But with future illegal immigrants set to storm the U.S.-Mexico border in what would be yet another “Biden Border Crisis,” ABC’s flagship…

It turns out that the same immigration activists advocating for open border policies and amnesty are now giving a cold shoulder to the fleeing Ukrainians receiving Title 42 waivers as war refugees, and now accuse the government of racism while being blatantly racist themselves, as shown in a Telemundo report about the ongoing chaos at the southern border.
