The White House Know Its Police And Border Policies Are About To Crash
Primary elections are about as trustworthy a poll as you can get, and Democrats are finally listening. But here s their quagmire: They don t have a single solution. Both the crisis at the border and the crisis in the cities are the direct results of their policies of dropping enforcement of crime in both places, and what do Biden and Harris want to do in response? Crack down on gun-store owners and fix the economies of Central America.
Lofty goals, both, but it wasn t a gun-store owner who dragged two young parents from their car and executed them in the street over the weekend or shot 52 other people in the city of Chicago alone. Unless there s been the largest single one-year increase in gun store owners illegally selling handguns since the country started keeping such records in the 20th century, it doesn t explain what The Washington Post called the largest single one-year increase in homicides since the country started keeping such records in the 20th century. Bullets don t fall from the sky, and undermining and punishing and demoralizing police isn t consequence-free.
While grueling poverty once trapped Central Americans in Central America, with increased wealth came increased access to internet, cell phones, and the money needed to pay criminal cartels to smuggle humans. While a roaring economy would undoubtedly severely curtail illegal immigration, Harris s ability to create one here or there approaches zero, despite her best efforts, leaving enforcement of America s border laws the only immediate salve.
The Democratic Party is careening for a collision with reality, and voters are catching on. Their ability to reverse several planks of the new left and avoid the crash, however, looks near-impossible.
