HOW BIDEN GAVE US THE BORDER CATASTROPHE: He told America what he was going do do in 2019 and on his first day in office, President Joe Biden did exactly what he said he would do – open the U.S. border to all comers, be they terrorists, spies, gang members, murderers or rapists. The Epoch Times’ Emel Akan and Lawrence Wilson document the whole process in a Special Report this morning.
Among much else, Akan and Wilson put the lie to Biden’s claim that Republicans in Congress blocked that “comprehensive immigration reform” package he proposed on Day One:
“On his first day in office, President Biden introduced the U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021, which he referred to as a ‘comprehensive immigration reform plan.’ The bill included an array of changes to existing law that would have made it quicker and easier for those who enter the country legally to gain citizenship and, in a sweeping amnesty, would have provided a pathway to citizenship for millions of people who had entered the country illegally.
“The bill offered little to decrease the flow of illegal immigrants into the country apart from requiring the Department of State to ‘advance reforms in Central America’ to address the reasons people are migrating to the United States and to create refugee-processing centers in the region.
“President Biden has said Republicans in Congress blocked the bill. But Democrats, who controlled both the House and the Senate in 2021, made no apparent effort to advance the bill, and it died in committee in both chambers, never receiving a hearing.”
