Transparency was to be one of the hallmarks of this new Proglibocrat administration in Washington, but as of two days ago, we as a nation find ourselves totally in the dark on our southern border.  Last week, press access to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facilities in southern Texas was prohibited by Department of Homeland Security.  These are facilities that now house over 5,000  migrant children from Mexico and Central America, many of whom arrived unaccompanied by family.   What is being hidden is evidence of a massive immigration and humanitarian and health problem on our borders.   Adding to the shame is the mainstream media’s veil of silence regarding  the problem.  You can’t blame this on Trump !

At the very top of the responsibilities we entrust to a centralized government is the protection of its citizens and the sanctity of its borders.  On both counts, the group in charge is failing miserably. Our border is “wide open”, creating a “situation that is spiraling out of control” according to two prominent U.S. senators that have visited the region (Cotton and Portman).    It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that a wide open border opens the floodgates to great strides in drug traffic, human trafficking, and the spread of COVID.

What is particularly galling is that the crisis is of our own making. Since January, we have reversed the “return to Mexico” policy of the prior four years, which mandated that an individual seeking asylum be returned across the Mexican border until a hearing was set to evaluate the person’s situation.   Coupled with a return to the old failed “catch and release” system favored by earlier Proglibocrat administrations, which relies on the illegal person to show up when their appeal is to be heard (what a joke, with an estimated 90% disappearing into America), we have literally put up “WELCOME TO AMERICA – COME ON UP” banners at our border.  Oh, did I mention that we no longer are completing key parts of Trump’s wall.   Now, we have over 5,000 unaccompanied children at CBP facilities in Texas and Arizona, and are beginning to ship many adults to federal facilities all across the U.S.    Today, a program was announced to spend over $87 million to house these folks in hotels.    As Motel 6 used to say, “We’ll leave the lights on”.  This comes on the heels of an environment pre-Biden that had brought illegal entry into our country to a virtual standstill.   We now have a tsunami of illegal entry, and we did it intentionally.            WHAT THE HECK !

Thanks so much to the 81 million of you that put this crowd into power in November !
