Ken Cuccinelli: Biden-Harris Administration “Wants” a Border Crisis

Many Individuals watching the present migrant disaster on the southwestern border are undoubtedly shocked at and annoyed with the Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous, bungling response, to not point out Group Biden’s refusal to even name the disaster a disaster. Does the brand new administration merely not know what it’s doing, or is there extra to the story? In keeping with Ken Cuccinelli – who served within the Trump administration as Appearing Deputy Secretary of the Division of Homeland Safety (DHS) and Appearing Director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Providers (USCIS) – the “self-inflicted” disaster is definitely “purposeful.”

Interviewed by the Fox Enterprise Community on March 19, the previous USCIS official said that “this isn’t an accident. In the course of the transition we instructed them what would occur in the event that they went this route, so it’s each predictable and predicted, and so they went down this route.” Why? In keeping with Cuccinelli, “they [Biden-Harris] need this flood on the border.”

He acknowledged that this can be “onerous for individuals to consider, however if you see amnesty payments going that they’re [the Biden administration]backing, then you definately perceive why, (…) they view this as a long-term play for votes coming throughout that border, and so they don’t care that it occurs by breaking the legislation (…).”

Cuccinelli added that “it’s a tragic state of affairs, [and]it’s pathetic that the [DHS] secretary [Alejandro Mayorkas] is simply getting all the way down to the border now (…) actually all they’re doing is that they’re not attempting to cease the issue, they’re simply attempting to place make-up on a pig right here, and that’s it.”

Cuccinelli additionally excoriated the administration for “hiding” and “burying” the humanitarian issues related to the catastrophe on the border. He added that the migrants “are getting used as political pawns, and it’s very damaging. Even Mexico is complaining in regards to the flood rolling via Mexico to get to our border, and the drug cartels have by no means been happier.” And the administration is solely using “an ostrich technique” by “hop[ing]the world seems someplace else.”

Some could dismiss this attitude as “conspiracy”
pondering. Maybe the only rationalization is that the Biden-Harris
administration is in over its head, did not assume via the results of
their insurance policies, and doesn’t know easy methods to successfully react to the disaster it
generated. The issue with the incompetence rationalization is that the individuals
accountable have years, and even a long time of presidency expertise. Kamala Harris
served within the U.S. Senate and had additionally been the legal professional basic of California,
a southwestern border state with an extended historical past of unlawful migration. Alejandro
Mayorkas served within the Obama administration. And Joe Biden not solely spent
virtually 40 years within the Senate but in addition served as Barack Obama’s
second-in-command for eight years. Whereas within the Obama administration, each
Biden and Mayorkas additionally had a migrant disaster on their arms in 2014.

On high of that, as Cuccinelli identified, the Biden
transition staff was instructed what would occur in the event that they pursued their most well-liked
insurance policies, and Group Biden went via with them anyway as quickly because it received into
the White Home.

A believable issue that doubtless performs a task is that the brand new Democratic administration is a hostage to its personal ideology – one which sees insurance policies which might be mushy on unlawful migration as in some way “compassionate,” whereas viewing immigration enforcement and border safety as allegedly “merciless” or “inhumane.” This pondering is fueled by left-wing guilt about America’s previous actual or alleged sins, and the accompanying want to really feel virtuous (e.g. see the makes an attempt of Biden’s southern border coordinator, Roberta Jacobson, to spin the border disaster as a matter of “hope” and a “extra humane coverage”).

After all, persons are not thoughts readers. All we’ve got to go by are actions. However whatever the motivations of administration officers, it’s clear that there’s a disaster, and that it have to be addressed. And if staff Biden-Harris is solely incompetent, it might do properly to seek the advice of with the earlier administration’s officers – corresponding to Mr. Cuccinelli – to find out about insurance policies that may successfully stem the tide.
