At the airport now, heading to join President Trump at the southern border.   

Within just six months of his successor taking office, apprehensions of illegal immigrants have now SOARED to 20-year highs. This will be my third trip to inspect conditions along the southern border and as I’ve said before, this is not gross incompetence on the part of President Biden. Instead, it’s deliberately strategic:

🔥 Mr. Biden stopped new construction of Trump’s border wall. 🔥 He tried to halt the removal of illegal immigrants who have active deportation orders from an immigration judge. 🔥 He lifted fines for illegal immigrants with deportation orders who refuse to leave. 🔥 He reinstated Obama’s “catch & release” program that’s ripe for abuse, since many who are released inside the U.S. never show up for their immigration hearing. 🔥 He ended Trump’s policy requiring asylum seekers to remain in Mexico while waiting for their asylum hearing. Thus, once again, enabling people to disappear inside the U.S. and never show up for their day in court.

So while President Biden enables the conditions for the surge, the Democrat-controlled Congress explores avenues like H.R. 1177 to grant amnesty, permanent residency, and a pathway to citizenship, eventually leading to millions of new Democrat voters. This is not hard to follow.

Remember, when it became obvious that President Biden needed to mitigate the fallout from his border crisis, he delegated that responsibility to VP Kamala Harris. Yet it would take over THREE MONTHS before she, herself, could be bothered to see what was happening down there firsthand. (And only then, it was to preempt the bad optics of having President Trump show up - again - before she did.)

It’ll be interesting to hear Mr. Trump’s assessment of this situation…
