Biden knew open border policies would lead to 'chaos' did it anyway​

The advisors wrote in the August 2020 memo, "A potential surge could create chaos and a humanitarian crisis, overwhelm processing capacities, and imperil the agenda of the new administration."

In 2020, Joe Biden’s advisors warned in a memo of "chaos" that would unfold if Biden pursued his immigration plans, however, he ignored the warning after entering office. The New York Times reported that during Biden’s presidential campaign, his advisors had offered a "range of options to avert that crisis" and deter migrants, however, while Biden "seemed to grasp the risk," he and his top aides had failed to act on the recommendations.

The advisors wrote in the August 2020 memo, "A potential surge could create chaos and a humanitarian crisis, overwhelm processing capacities, and imperil the agenda of the new administration." The memo came in response to Biden’s campaign promises, alongside Covid economic hardships and rebound from the Trump administration, could result in a spike in border crossings.

The advisors offered a range of options for the incoming Biden administration, including making it easier to quickly reject asylum claims, transferring some migrants to other countries, continuing the Trump administration’s Remain in Mexico policy, and holding people in "reception centers" until their cases could be heard.

Despite the warnings, Biden upon entering office issued a 100-day pause on deportations, ended the construction of the border wall, suspended the Remain in Mexico policy, narrowed the categories of unauthorized migrants who would be targeted for arrest, sent draft legislation to Congress that would create a pathway to citizenship for those in the country illegally, and other actions.

This resulted in a massive spike in border crossings under the Biden administration. As border crossings rose, "advisers across the administration kept offering ideas to deter migrants. But political concerns remained," the Times reported. "The result was paralysis."

But, there was no "open border" policy.

And there is now no immigration-related "chaos" but that caused by ICE itself. The presence of the immigrants is in no way a problem. See here.

The irony of that is clear enough, except when it isn't.

who is talking about IMMIGRANTS

Illegal immigrants are still immigrants.

 

[icanhelp1]

But, there was no "open border" policy.

Correct! There was no officially declared E/O or open border policy per/se, just a total failure to enforce immigration law.

And there is now no immigration-related "chaos" but that caused by ICE itself. The presence of the immigrants is in no way a problem. See here.

ICE can't cause chaos. The chaos comes from radical politicians and protesters obstructing law enforcement from enforcing immigration law.

 

[icanhelp1]

Illegal immigrants are still immigrants.

And illegals should be deported in accordance with our immigration laws.

 

[Wilson23]

Correct! There was no officially declared E/O or open border policy per/se, just a total failure to enforce immigration law.

That never happened either.

ICE can't cause chaos. The chaos comes from radical politicians and protesters obstructing law enforcement from enforcing immigration law.

When ICE walks into a field or factory and starts rounding up workers, that's chaos, When ICE declares a QUOTA to deport from a city, that's chaos.

 

[Wilson23]

And illegals should be deported in accordance with our immigration laws.

There was never any good reason to. You do understand, don't you, that Eisenhower's Operation Wetback was a national disgrace, did not do the country one little bit of good, and should never be repeated?

 

[wallstreetguy]

Biden hates both America and whites, so this makes sense.

IL. just released from detainment 1768 criminal illegal migrants. Many were felons. How does releasing those criminals back into the public space keep citizens safe.

Immigrants, INCLUDING illegals, are generally more law-abiding than citizens. If you want to address crime and keep citizens safe, that is not the place to start.

Only retards ever said "Tampon Tim.'

Funny how we’re just finding out about this now. Almost as if the msm was hiding it.

Oh please. That’s some Olympic-level reality inversion right there. Claiming there’s “no immigration chaos” is like standing in the middle of a five-alarm fire insisting it’s just “cozy mood lighting.” The idea that ICE, not the mass, unmanaged influx itself, is the source of the breakdown is the kind of logic you only get after marinating too long in activist group chats and TikTok infographics.

There is no breakdown. There has NEVER in American history been any "breakdown" caused by immigration. WTF are you even talking about?
