    "Reversal" is absolutely false.

    Fact: Congress is forcing us to do this under a 2019 law.

    Fact: We called on Congress to cancel these funds. They didn't.

    We follow the rule of law.

    Congress needs to stop delaying the effective border solutions @POTUS proposed. https://t.co/drg03djpGe

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has decided that there is an immediate need additional border wall to be installed.

https://justthenews.com/government/security/mayorkas-waves-environmental-laws-build-border-wall-amid-surge-illegal

I think his real motivation is that he thinks the additional wall will allow better control over his "catch and release" program for illegals entering the country.  It will funnel illegals into areas where the DHS can more efficiently process them before being released into the USA.

According to this story in Breitbart, I may have been correct.  Sec. Mayorkas is only building a few more miles of wall to redirect illegal immigrants to border crossing areas where they can be processed more efficiently and then released into the country.

Quote
The extra miles of border are not intended to stop the job-seeking economic migrants. Instead, Alejandro Mayorkas, the Cuban-born Secretary of Homeland Security, is asking migrants to safely register at the official gates along the border so they can be quickly released into U.S. society.

That sounds more like Democrats.  They will still let them in.  They just have to do something about the optics.

AOC is not happy (surprise!) and according to this they are restarting deporting Venezuelans

Quote
The Biden administration will resume deporting Venezuelans in another stark reversal on migration policy - as staunch Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed the president for his 'cruel' move to resume border wall construction.

Ocasio-Cortez shamed Joe Biden and urged him to 'reverse course' after he launched new stretches of border barriers, a signature policy of Donald Trump that the president previously decried.

Quote
Meanwhile, the US will resume deporting Venezuelan migrants, the largest single group encountered at the southern border last month, back to their economically troubled socialist country.

AOC demands Biden 'takes responsibility and reverse' border wall construction - as president U-turns AGAIN and starts deporting thousands of Venezuelans to combat migrant surge

I wonder if the uninstalled sections of wall that the Biden Administration has been selling off for pennies on the dollar are going to be bought back at a higher price, with "someone" pocketing the difference . . .
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

There are 38 states with a smaller population than the number of illegals entering the country since Biden. Imagine if they were their own state - they would have election swaying electoral votes.

I'm sure enough of them vote to already sway elections in some states.

You must shoulder the white mans burden throughout the world and flood your own land with violent fighting age males, destroying your country and culture because reasons and feels.

Waging war across the globe and swamping the country with third world violent thugs is the Christian thing to do!

None dare call it treason and apostasy.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Chicago sucks!

Quote
Since August last year, 20,700 migrants have arrived in Chicago from Texas. The Lone Star State's Governor Greg Abbott sent migrants to Chicago and other Democrat-run cities because of their proud status as 'sanctuary cities.' They offer enhanced protection against detention or deportation for undocumented migrants.

Now, Illinois' harsh winters, lack of migrant infrastructure, and ambivalent support from locals has made many people, who undertook the harsh US-Mexico border journey, actually turn around and go back home.

Venezuela-born Michael Castejon, 39, and his family have been sleeping on the floors of police stations and shelters after he could not afford to pay rent in Chicago - because his work permit was taking so long to arrive.

Quote
Castejon said the failed journey to settle in the US had not been worth it, despite the extreme poverty and an authoritarian regime they were living under in Venezuela.

After months of begging for money and crossing borders, the dreams that he had heard of from other migrants had failed to materialize for him, he revealed.

Michael Castejon, 39, told the Chicago Tribune: 'The American Dream doesn't exist anymore. There's nothing here for us.

Chicago is so unpleasant migrants are fleeing BACK to Venezuela after being dumped in shelters and refused jobs, with 20,700 border crossers so-far bused to Dem-run 'sanctuary city'

Mayor Eric Adams finally had the guts to call out Biden for the border crisis.

Almost immediately after, the FBI opened a bribery investigation against him.

Then they seized his phones and iPads.

Now a liberal activist came forward and is accusing him of sexual assault from 3 decades ago.

I just wish to hell the media (and others) would stop calling them "migrants."  While technically correct in the sense that they are people who are moving around, it is incorrect since it does not include the fact that they are illegal.

To me, that's lying by omission.

They are illegal migrants or immigrants, and let's not let the media and dumb *expletive deleted*it politicians forget that.

Mass immigration, legal or not is war upon the people of the country.

Unfortunately, we've already lost that stage of the war.

Not looking forward to the next phase of what they have in store for us.

Importing low IQ third worlders with low impulse control and no cultural connection to the nation as "foot soldiers" is probably not going to lead to times of peace and prosperity.

Heritage America was already being outbred, TPTB just turned the dial to 11.

If you reject the concept of replacement theory you have your head in your butt.

Demoralize and destroy the native populations culture, import new citizens is a time tested tactic of destroying nations and empires. At the very least, in the short term, it will consolidate TPTBs control of the land and resources.

The vast majority of the current wave, and almost certainly the Venezuelan quoted in that story aren't illegal.

They presented themselves at the border, requested asylum in the US, and are waiting for their determination to work it's way through the system.

That is allowed under current US immigration laws.  We no longer require asylum to be asked for in the first country they get to, or while still in their own country.

No, they are being allowed into the country by executive orders upending and bypassing legislation passed by congress and signed into law.  Hence, illegal.
