There’s No Denying Our Border Crisis Is Worsening

Here is something President Biden and his radical left-wing friends in Congress need to decide: Either we don’t have a Covid problem anymore, in which case we won’t need more federal spending and we can stop wearing masks on airplanes and in kindergarten, or we do have a Covid problem, in which case we should maintain Title 42, the very effective pandemic emergency order on health and border security grounds. You can’t have it both ways. Got it? Just common sense. Either we have a health problem or we don’t. Now having said that, what we do have is a growing border crisis with illegal immigration, regardless of whether Mr. Biden or the DHS secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, or the woke progressives agree.The Bidens tore down President Trump’s border control policies, which of course included the successful Title 42 effort, along with Remain in Mexico and the border wall. Mr. Mayorkas told an evening news show last night that it was Mr. Trump who dismantled border protection: A flat-out falsehood. I don’t understand why a Cabinet-level official running a powerful agency would go on TV and lie. Last year nearly 2 million illegals entered America.In February of this year alone, 164,000 illegals were accounted for at the border, up 63 percent from a year ago. That did not happen during the Trump years.This year, it is estimated that if the Title 42 safeguard is removed, more than 2 million illegals may well enter America and Mr. Mayorkas knows this. There’s just no reason why top people in any administration would lie and ruin their credibility. I find that very annoying.In terms of the substantive issue here, the Bidens have been in denial all along about the border crisis, which has been one of the administration’s most unpopular agenda items. Make no mistake, as Senator Hagerty told us last night, this is a border and sovereignty issue, but it is also a drug trafficking issue. A fentanyl issue — coming from China, over the border, killing people here in the U.S. The narco-terrorists run the border. Most people know that — except the people in the Biden administration. This is a sex trafficking problem, a human trafficking problem, and it’s a crime-ridden lawlessness problem. Mr. Trump made a lot of progress with Title 42 and with Remain in Mexico; he also made a good deal of progress on building a wall. That is, until the Bidens cut it off. Roughly $15 billion is allocated to build approximately 738 miles of a new border wall system. It was meant to be 1,000 miles long, but only 450 miles were completed. There are already 111 miles of a completed barrier along the Texas-Mexico border, but that still leaves 1,100 miles unprotected. A lot of construction materials were actually delivered to build the wall, but since the Bidens stopped payment the stuff is just sitting there rusting. It’s a tragedy.The left loves to mock the wall. The wall is a good thing, and very popular among people along the southern border who would be helped by it. That includes the various customs and border and ICE agents who are there to police the border. For another $14 billion or $15 billion we could have that wall’s extra protection against drugs, terrorists, crime, and various forms of sex trafficking. Just think of it as another layer of protection. So I’ll just say here: Save America. Build the Wall. And I’ll say: Save America. Keep Title 42. Or just implement a policy of catch and deport with respect to illegals. I’m all for legal immigration. I’m all for legal immigration reform. We had a good package in the Trump administration but it never went anywhere in Congress.No one in their right mind wants a couple of million immigrants crossing the border with crime and drugs every year. After Mr. Trump enacted Remain in Mexico, the socialist government of Mexico approved it and worked with us. Mr. Biden took that down, too. So the Bidens took down the wall, took down Remain in Mexico, and now they want to take down Title 42. In other words, complete open borders: No sovereignty, no security, no law. How about that? I’m putting this as plainly as I can. Now here’s some good news about Title 42. Some common sense Democrats don’t want it to end and appear to be bucking the White House. All 50 Republican senators oppose ending Title 42. The common sense Democrats include Senators Hassan of New Hampshire, Kelly of Arizona, Warnock of Georgia, and Cortez-Masto of Nevada, all up for re-election, plus Senators Manchin, Sinema, and Tester. Good for them. We need to protect America.We need to come out of denial about our border crisis getting worse. We need to deal with drugs and other forms of lawlessness. Save America. Keep Title 42.Save America. Build the Wall. Save America. Uphold our Sovereignty.From Mr. Kudlow’s broadcast on Fox Business News.
