He is doubling down….
President Biden encouraged what he calls “reproductive freedom,” the latest euphemism for abortion, which received numerous cheers from the audience. I think it is a sad commentary on our culture when people cheer when a child loses their life. In another moment of division, he spoke about in vitro fertilization (IVF), which has wide bipartisan support in Congress. But he focused on the situation in Alabama, which is carefully being resolved as we speak, as another way to divide us, instead of discussing the value of the lives of all children. Thousands of children, from every state, will be born this year through IVF.
The President brought up the border security proposal I worked on over the past several months. Some of the things he said about the bill were even true. The bill would have added many new Border Patrol agents, ICE agents, asylum officers, deportation flights, and fentanyl detection devices at the border. The bill would have built more border fence, ended the open border parole program, added detention beds, and dramatically increased the speed of deportations by changing the standard for asylum screening.
The bill did not have everything I wanted, but it also did not include any amnesty programs. The myth that the bill allowed 5,000 people in a day is just that, a myth. Under the new rules in the bill, the first person that crossed the border each day and every person after that faced a much tougher asylum standard and rapid deportation to deter the next person from paying a cartel to cross. But if the border was overrun with 5,000 people, like what has happened almost every day this year, the rules tightened even more to give law enforcement new tools to immediately deport every person who illegally crosses our border without any screening.
President Biden conveniently left out the numerous existing legal authorities he has already to better secure our border but refuses to use. If the President would enforce the border the same way President Trump or even President Obama enforced the border, we would not have the chaos we currently have in our nation. Both parties are currently choosing to play election-year politics with our national security by blaming the other party for inaction. We should do everything we can to solve the problem now and allow the election in November to resolve the rest. Inaction when there is danger should not be an option.
