President Joe Biden plans to retreat to his Delaware beach home this weekend, despite the worsening illegal immigration crisis at the southern border. Reports suggest an alarming surge of up to 700,000 migrants unlawfully crossing into the United States, raising concerns about humanitarian and national security issues. The situation is compounded by the potential exploitation of criminals, drugs, and previously deported individuals. Meanwhile, the president faces media evasion and allegations of colluding with Mexican officials. Temporary legal measures aim to limit unauthorized releases, emphasizing the urgent need for strong border security.
Despite its potential significance in securing the border, President Biden allowed Title 42, a provision in the United States Code that grants authority to protect against the spread of communicable diseases, to expire. Previously used during the COVID-19 pandemic for travel restrictions and quarantines, its expiration leaves the border vulnerable to a potential influx of illegal immigrants, despite calls for a similar approach.
According to The Daily Wire:
President Joe Biden will reportedly spend his weekend at his beach home in Delaware — which is guarded by a taxpayer-funded wall — after forcing immigration officials to work on weekends to deal with the illegal immigration crisis that his policies have caused.
“Border Patrol reports a record setting 83,000 migrants crossed our border illegally this week alone. Just to put that number in perspective for you, that is equivalent to a full capacity Dallas Cowboys football stadium crossing our border in a single week,” Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during Friday’s press conference that the 80-year-old president will enjoy a leisurely weekend at his beach home.
The memo cited by Wetherell was written by U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz on Wednesday and said that the U.S. Border Patrol needed to “consider whether processing personnel and resources are necessary to process other noncitizens in BP custody or accomplish enforcement actions that are immediately critical to border security for the greater public benefit.”
President Joe Biden’s decision to retreat to his Delaware beach residence amid the intensifying illegal immigration crisis raises concerns about his commitment to addressing urgent matters at the southern border. According to the New York Post, since assuming office, Biden has made over 50 trips to Delaware, spending close to 200 days at his home. This pattern, reminiscent of his time in the Senate and as Vice President, has drawn criticism as the surge of potentially 700,000 migrants crossing unlawfully poses significant humanitarian and national security risks, including the potential influx of criminals and drugs.
Many are calling for Biden’s presence in the White House and his active engagement with the ongoing border situation, particularly Democratic mayors like Eric Adams of New York City, who fear the economic repercussions of uncontrolled illegal immigration. The president’s evasion of media inquiries and allegations of collusion with Mexican officials further undermine transparency and accountability. With the expiration of Title 42, a crucial tool for border security, the administration must urgently prioritize effective strategies to manage the crisis and ensure the safety and well-being of the nation.
