Biden, the Senate, and the border fiasco – Washington Examiner

So the deal s demise does not mean that Biden and Congress have failed only on the border. It means they have failed on the border, on Israel, on Ukraine, and on Taiwan. It s a quadruple fiasco.

Of course, most of the attention has focused on the border. That s because Biden s policy of essentially opening the border, allowing somewhere between 6 million and 8 million illegal crossers to enter the United States, has finally spread disruption not just to the border states but to big blue cities including New York, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. With an election approaching, some leaders of Biden s own party are nervous about the damage he has done. They believe passing a border bill would be a way for them to say to voters: Look, we tried to do something about it.

The problem is, the Democratic impulse on the border problem has always been to search for ways, and money, to facilitate, speed, accommodate, and regularize the crossing of millions of inadmissible migrants into the U.S. They do not look at chaos on the border and say, Stop the flow! They look at it and say, We need more beds and social workers and asylum officials to process these migrants more efficiently into the country.
