Sabotaging Trump: Abolishing Migrant Restrictions

 Debra J. Saunders   A parting attempt to obstruct the incoming president’s promises of a crackdown on illegal immigration.

"Former NBC News anchor Brian Williams showed he understands what is at stake when he said  on Late Night With Seth Meyers that Biden’s “biggest unforced error” was the border.“To tell people it’s not a problem, it’s insulting,” Williams added"


"If you think of Joe Biden as a nice old man who was kicked to the curb, consider his administration’s jaw-dropping efforts to sabotage Donald Trump. The president-elect plans to actually enforce federal immigration law starting Jan. 20, when Trump takes the oath of office. As the New York Post reported Thursday, Team Biden “is quietly rushing to implement new policies that will loosen restrictions on migrants who entered the U.S. illegally — a parting attempt to thwart President-elect Donald Trump’s immigration crackdowns and mass deportations,” according to sources.

"For some time now, New York has been ground zero — with horror stories to show for it. On Wednesday, a New York prosecutor was robbed by a Venezuelan migrant with a Big Apple rap sheet and suspected ties to Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. He also was charged with masturbating in front of her. “He arrived here in New York in June and has managed to get arrested seven times since June, and at one point was smiling, and is smiling now, and I observed him laughing during the proceeding,” Judge Janet McDonnell noted during the hearing, according to the Post.

"Be it noted, New York is a sanctuary city. So it should be no surprise that more than 210,000 migrants have landed in the Big Apple since 2022. The city has been unable to house all the newcomers, so many are sleeping on the streets. In August, the New York Times reported, the city housed people in more than 100 hotels, with 16,000 hotel rooms serving as shelters.

"Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has the right idea. He declared Tren de Aragua a “terrorist organization.” So which state looks better to transnational gangs?

"The crisis was inevitable. On his first day as president, Biden ordered a 100-day pause on deportations and gave the green light to illegal crossings when he halted Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” program — with little thought of the impact on American citizens, native and foreign-born.
