America’s borders won’t last long under a Biden presidency.
If elected on November 3, Democratic nominee Joe Biden will reverse many of President Trump’s immigration policies. While he and his supporters claim this would usher in a more humane approach, detractors say this would open the door to chaos, globalism, increased government spending, and a less-safe America.
One of the president’s signature campaign pledges was the construction of a wall along the border with Mexico. Despite an unwillingness by Congress to support the initiative and continued opposition in the courts, the Trump administration has successfully built nearly 400 miles of border wall so far.
Biden, however, would stop the construction dead in its tracks.
“There will not be another foot of wall constructed under my administration,” the former vice president has promised.
Border officials say the barrier plays a critical role in preventing uncontrolled migrant flow.
“We don’t necessarily need this physical wall in every physical location but in a lot of places up to about 738 miles that are currently funded, we believe we do,” Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott told Fox News.
Moreover, Biden has promised to place a 100-day moratorium on deportation, massively increase the refugee cap, and scrap key policies the administration has put in place to reduce illegal migration.
In particular, Biden wants to end the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), which has migrants remain in Mexico as their hearings play out rather than being allowed in the United States and given the opportunity to flee into undocumented obscurity, a phenomenon often referred to as “catch-and-release.”
Critics of MPP say it puts migrants in danger because Mexico is not as safe a country as the United States, but the administration contends the program has been instrumental in ending catch-and-release.
Immigration officials argue that ending current policies, along with the moratorium on migration, would likely lead to a surge in illegal crossings.
“When that happens we’ll quickly overrun our capacity to hold those people and we’ll be back in the situation where we have to release people if the laws don’t change,” Tony Porvaznik, Border Patrol chief of Yuma Sector, told Fox.
White House advisor Stephen Miller warned of “nationwide catch-and-release” if Biden wins and has said the president will take his immigration policies to the next level in a second term.
In an NBC News interview, Miller highlighted four top priorities for President Trump’s next term: increasing pressure on sanctuary cities, limiting asylum claims, expanding travel restrictions from countries deemed to be a national security risk, and new limits of work visas.
But Biden has deemed the president’s platform an “anti-immigrant agenda.”
“All they have to offer is four more years of hateful rhetoric and division and policies that will end America’s historic role as a symbol of freedom and prosperity, and as a beacon of hope for those fleeing violence and oppression anywhere in the world,” the Democrat said in a Friday statement.
He added: “We have to vote out Donald Trump in 4 days to make sure we can undo his cruel, anti-American agenda, and ensure the United States is once more the global leader standing for freedom, prosperity, and liberty for all.”
Biden also seeks to undo the Trump administration’s public-charge rule, which gives immigration officials discretionary ability to bar issuance of visas or permanent residence to individuals who are likely to become dependent on taxpayers once admitted into the country. He also plans to reinstate DACA (while ensuring “Dreamers” get taxpayer-funded student aid).
Despite claims from the Left that Biden is the “moderate” candidate, his positions on immigration alone show him to be a radical socialist-globalist extremist.
Open borders are an essential component of the globalist agenda for eroding national sovereignty to create a monolithic, one-world international system of governance. The globalists want to tear down the political distinctions between the United States, Mexico, and Canada in order to create a North American Union, a stepping stone toward an Atlantic Union and finally a world government.
President Trump’s America First immigration platform is one of the chief reasons the global elites oppose him so vehemently. Yet Biden, the consummate insider, would unravel all gains made during the last four years.
With only a few days left before the election, the choice couldn’t be any clearer.
