Democrats Throw Biden Under The Bus

Even Democrats know Biden is out of his mind.

The ongoing migrant crisis at the southern border has become a focal point for bipartisan concern, with Democrats and Republicans alike expressing frustration with the Biden administration’s handling of the situation. In a rare display of unity, thirteen House Democrats crossed party lines to join Republicans in supporting H. RES. 1112, a resolution condemning the administration’s immigration policies and advocating for stronger border security measures.

Among those Democrats was Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington, who criticized President Biden for failing to address the crisis effectively. She emphasized the need to secure the border and combat the influx of dangerous drugs facilitated by violent drug cartels. Gluesenkamp Perez advocated for the reinstatement of the “Remain in Mexico” policy as a means to manage asylum seekers while their applications are processed.

Rep. Eric Sorensen of Illinois echoed similar sentiments, highlighting the importance of addressing immigration challenges for both himself and his constituents. He emphasized the urgency of fixing the broken immigration system and recounted his firsthand experience visiting the southern border to assess the situation.

Rep. Angie Craig of Minnesota emphasized the need to move beyond partisan politics and work collaboratively to address the national security implications of the border crisis. She called for a debate on the Bipartisan Border Agreement proposed by the Senate earlier in the year.

Concerns about the flow of deadly drugs across the border were also raised by Rep. Jared Golden of Maine, who stressed the importance of border security as a national security issue. He urged Congress and the Biden administration to take meaningful action to address the crisis.

Despite these bipartisan calls for action, the White House remained silent on the matter, prompting frustration among lawmakers seeking solutions.

The Biden administration has defended its approach, describing the crisis as a hemisphere-wide challenge that requires comprehensive reforms and additional funding. It has rejected accusations of promoting “open border” policies and highlighted efforts to enforce consequences for illegal entry while expanding pathways for legal migration.

President Biden has urged the Senate to reconsider a bipartisan package aimed at addressing the crisis, emphasizing the need for a merit-based approach rather than partisan politics. However, conservatives have criticized the proposed package and called for alternative solutions, including a House GOP bill passed last year.

As the debate continues, the border crisis remains a pressing issue requiring bipartisan cooperation and decisive action to ensure the safety and security of both migrants and American communities.
