The liberty principle for this Freedom Friday concerns the right and responsibility for sovereign nations to secure their borders. Some people keep hoping that President Joe Biden will understand clearly that his border policies are horrible and do something to secure the border. I hate to be the bearer of unwelcome news to people holding such hopes, but Biden does not intend to secure the border at all. According to Terence P. Jeffrey at CNS News, the proof is in the budget proposal for the Department of Homeland Security that his administration recently presented to Congress.
[The Biden] administration has presented
Congress with a Department of Homeland Security budget proposal that calls for
slashing spending on what it calls “Border Security Assets and Infrastructure”
by 96%.
In fiscal year 2021, Congress approved
$1,513,000,000 in funding for border security assets and infrastructure. Biden
is now asking that Congress approve just $54,315,000 for fiscal year 2022. That
is a reduction of $1,458,695,000 – or 96.4%....
Now, if Biden gets his way, the federal
government will not spend one penny in fiscal year 2022 on planning or
constructing a “physical barrier system” at the border….
[For] “Integrated Fixed Towers” … How much
does Biden want for this piece of infrastructure? Nothing….
[For] “Remote Video Surveillance Systems” … How much does Biden want for this piece of infrastructure?
Nothing….
[For] “Mobile Video Surveillance System” …
Biden wants nothing again….
[For] “MVSS-M2S2 Modular Mobile
Surveillance System” … How much does Biden want for it in the coming fiscal
year? Nothing….
[For] “Border Security Assets and
Infrastructure End Items” … Biden wants $54,315,000 for fiscal year 2022.
Indeed, that $54,315,000 for this one
category equals all of the money Biden is requesting for “Border Security
Assets and Infrastructure” in fiscal year 2022.
Jeffrey further explained that Biden
plans to spend money on some parts of immigration even though he does not plan
to secure the border. “Biden is calling for $655,000,000 to fund ‘construction
modernization’ of CBP’s ‘land ports of entry,’ where people come to the United
States legally.” You read that correctly!
Yes, Biden wants to cut $1,458,685,000
from federal spending on border security assets and infrastructure aimed at
stopping illegal border crossers while increasing spending by $655,000,000 on
formal ports of entry.
Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas said, “First, the president’s budget invests in a secure
border.” Does he even know what a secure border is? Mayorkas thinks that he can
secure the border by “modernizing our land ports of entry” and setting up surveillance
technology.
The proposed budget makes it obvious
that Biden does not intend to secure the southern border now or next year.
Americans might as well give up on hoping that he will and start praying that
America will survive the Biden administration. There are estimates that two
million illegal immigrants will enter the United States this year. Time that
number by the four years of a Biden administration, and we can expect at least
eight million people illegally entering our nation before we get rid of the
clown occupying the White House.
