Joe Biden is sending U.S. troops to the incorrect place.
They wanted to go to New York, a sanctuary metropolis, the place hapless Mayor Eric Adams is begging President Biden, a fellow Democrat, for assist in coping with the inflow of unlawful immigrants flooding his metropolis.
Biden’s response has been: “Don’t call me, I’ll call you.”
While Adams has blamed “the national government” for “turning its back on New York,” he has held President Joe Biden innocent.
Adams mentioned that the as soon as nice metropolis of New York “is being destroyed by the migrant crisis.”
He mentioned that 59,000 migrants had arrived in New York since final spring, which is about the identical quantity that cross into Texas in a gradual week.
Perhaps the mayor needs to be reminded that it was Joe Biden who turned the unlawful immigrant spigot on, and solely he can flip it off, one thing he refuses to do.
And issues are solely going to worsen when Title 42 expires May 11. Title 42 permits the usto deny unlawful immigrant asylum seekers for well being causes.
Biden’s response to Adams is harking back to the traditional New York Daily News 1975 headline in response to President Gerald Ford’s refusal to approve a monetary bailout for the town.
It learn: FORD TO CITY: DROP DEAD.
So, what does Adams do? He performs the race card, recklessly accusing Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott, a Republican, of sending unlawful immigrants to 5 cities which can be run by black mayors, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Denver and Washington, D.C.
Not that the 1,500 troops would do a lot to alleviate Adams’ drawback. The troops in New York could be doing the identical factor that they are going to be doing down on the border, and that’s to assist the overwhelmed Border Patrol.
Rather than use the troops to stem the movement of migrants invading the nation, or cope with the Mexican cartels sending them over, or dealing with the massive improve in intercourse trafficking of youngsters, or stemming the movement of China- primarily based fentanyl, the troopers will probably be processing paper and altering diapers.
Joe Biden has willfully unfold extra distress across the nation than did President Herbert Hoover in the course of the Great Depression.
Were Joe Biden a frontrunner of substance, he would do one thing that ought to have been accomplished way back.
And that’s shut down the border and have these active-duty U.S, Army troops cross into narco-run Mexico and wipe out the Mexican cartels that, by way of medicine and smuggling, are contributing to the decline of the nation.
If Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador can’t—or won’t—cope with the cartels, then it’s time the U.S. do it for him, whether or not he likes it or not.
President Donald Trump didn’t ask anybody’s permission when he ordered the 2020 drone strike that took the lifetime of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani exterior the Baghdad Airport in 2020.
Soleimani was the person behind the Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) that took the lives of 600 U.S. troopers and maimed 1,600 extra who misplaced legs, arms or each.
The U.S. wanted no permission from Pakistan in 2011 to fly in and ferret out and kill Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the 2001 World Trade Center assault, at his hideout in Abbottabad. Twenty-three U.S, Navy seals in two helicopters did the job in 40 minutes.
Some 3,000 Americans had been killed, together with 343, New York City fireplace fighters, when Osama bin Laden’s Muslim terrorists flew their hijacked planes into the World Trade Center. Thousands extra are nonetheless struggling at this time from the aftermath.
Today some 70,000 Americans from the age of 18 to 45 are dying annually from Chinese precursor fentanyl that comes over the border from Mexico.
That is extra Americans than Osama bin Laden and Gen. Qassem Soleimani may ever dream of killing.
The U.S. made them pay for killing Americans. It is time the U. S. make the Mexican cartels pay too.
It would take the U.S. army half a day to wipe them out.
