Biden knowingly and purposely blew up the border in 2021 — don’t believe his blame game now
President Biden was inaugurated Jan. 20, 2021.
Weeks later, Feb. 2, he issued the executive order that began the unraveling at the border in earnest.
The border crisis isn’t something that happened to Biden.
It’s not a product of circumstances or understandable policy mistakes made under duress.
No, he sought it and created it, on principle and as a matter of urgency.
It wasn’t a second-year priority or even a second-quarter-of-the-first-year priority.
The new president set out in his initial days and weeks in office to destroy what President Donald Trump had built, most consequentially in the Feb. 2 executive order.
By then, mind you, there had already been significant action to loosen up on the border, including on his first day in office.
The Feb. 2 order emphasized an effort to “enhance lawful pathways for migration to this country” and revoked a slew of Trump rules, executive orders, proclamations and memoranda.
The sense of it was that there’s nothing we can or should do on our own to control illegal immigration; rather, we had to fix deep-seated social, economic and political problems in Central America instead.
It called for getting more refugees into the United States, using parole to let more migrants join family members here, enhancing access to visa programs and reviewing whether the United States is doing enough for migrants fleeing domestic or gang violence, among other things.
