The Border Surge: A National Emergency That Requires Immediate Action

Introduction

Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s recent visit to Mexico for US border crisis talks highlights the urgency of the situation. The border surge is no longer a partisan issue but a national emergency, as evidenced by the low approval ratings for President Biden’s handling of the crisis. It is time for Congress to take decisive action.

The Urgency of Shutting Down the Border

In the face of a bad water leak, the first step is to turn off the incoming flow. Similarly, while Congress remains deadlocked, it is imperative for the federal government to shut down the border by any means necessary until a better solution is found. The current policy has overwhelmed us, even causing “sanctuary” mayors and governors to reconsider their stance.

The President’s Responsibility

When President Biden took his oath to protect and defend the United States, it included the responsibility of controlling our border. The blame cannot be shifted solely to the federal government; it is the president’s open border policy that has led to this mess. Mayor Adams and other mayors who complain about immigrants being bussed from Texas should direct their criticism towards the president who created this situation.

Incompetent Leadership and the Need for Change

Secretary Blinken’s meeting in Mexico revealed the incompetence of our leadership. Calling the visit a success when they were merely manipulated by Mexico’s leaders is unacceptable. It is time for the American people to reclaim their country and elect a more competent leader. Congress has become ineffective, and the FBI appears biased, leaving us to bear the consequences.

Enforcing Immigration Law and Protecting Sovereignty

As an immigrant and naturalized US citizen, I find it unacceptable that foreign nationals are marching towards our country with the intention of crossing the border illegally. The United States must strictly enforce immigration law and not tolerate migrant caravans. Legal immigration should be embraced, and the erosion of our immigration laws and border security must be addressed immediately to protect our nation’s sovereignty.

The Consequences of Progressive Politics

Progressive politics has backfired in Democrat-majority cities, turning our country into a dumping ground for impoverished nations. The Biden administration’s motivation to address the migration issue should not solely be driven by saving face for the upcoming election. As the most powerful nation in the world, we have the resources to solve this problem without pandering to another nation’s government.

A National Travesty: Upholding Immigration Laws

Historically, immigrants adhered to legal processes to enter the country. The current situation is a national travesty that transcends partisan lines. It is time for immediate action to address this crisis and restore order.

Conclusion

The border surge is a national emergency that demands urgent attention. Congress must overcome its deadlock, and the federal government should take immediate steps to shut down the border until a better solution is found. It is time to prioritize the enforcement of immigration laws and protect our nation’s sovereignty. Failure to act swiftly will only exacerbate this crisis.
