It's ;just totally beyond me while Biden tries to mouth the reason/s he effectively signed EA's to open our border....but in fact, he really opened Pandora's box, filled with cartels from South of our border, drug dealers who sell the drugs and gather MILLIONS/BILLIONS of dollars for drugs which kill people to anyone they can get to buy them, people who capture humans and put them into bondage PLUS massive herds of people who flood into this country ILLEGALLY for whatever they can get free from American paid taxes. I simply do NOT understand why the idiots in the new administration and those who support them financially and by votes, do not see that IF people come into the country, LEGALLY, and want to work to become Citizens of the United States, most of us will wish them well and welcome them. Of course he is putting America and Americans LAST. The ONLY way he is going to know the thinking of Americans is for us to become better organized and absolutely flood the WH mailboxes with what we think of him and the entire Democrat party! Tweets & FB, etc. are becoming passe', so maybe they would pay attention to actual letters from the USPO...complete with a REAL and expensive stamp or two. All of us need to think of doing this, and including copies to each one of our representatives for the House and the Senate. If enough of the American people did something to gather some attention, and do it peacefully, but where we are pointing the blame, things could change. There are about 340 MILLION people in the US. I'd LOVE to see a total meltdown of paper sent by the US Taxpayers to the malcontents in DC... Maybe Trump could organize something like this.... Remember the Boston Tea Party.....?? It is just barbaric what he (and they) are doing! We as a country have now spent several TRILLION Dollars for vaccine that hopefully does the job it was made to do, BUT at the same time, opening the flood gates to whatever and whomever wants to break our current laws, while bringing in probably a host of illnesses....including CVid-19 with it's various sub-sets.....

Biden drops 100-day no deportation pledge… redstate.com Joe Biden's Latest Immigration Edict Has the Left Apoplectic Bonchie Illegal border crossings have surged since Joe Biden’s election. Some of this is related to a lack of enforcement, but the lion’s share likely comes from his rhetoric. You see, when a president telegraphs publicly that you can enter the country illegally and all you’ll get is processed and released if caught, that tends to incentivize more people to make the journey. Of course, the biggest costs will probably never be known. That’ll come in the untold numbers of dead children, women, and men who never even make it to the border. Encouraging such dangerous acts, which directly benefit the drug cartels, is a cost-free maneuver for politicians. They get to pretend to be compassionate while others pay the real price of their virtue signaling. But while Biden’s policies have already proven catastrophic, he’s apparently realized you do need some type of enforcement mechanism, and his new edict to ICE has the left apoplectic. BREAKING: President Biden just issued new ICE guidance wholly abandoning his pledge to halt deportations. ACLU says this is "a disappointing step backward from the Biden administration’s earlier commitments to fully break from the harmful deportation policies" of Trump and Obama. — Colin Kalmbacher (@colinkalmbacher) February 18, 2021 BREAKING: President Biden just issued new ICE guidance wholly abandoning his pledge to halt deportations.

And, of course, acted as stenographers for ICE's press release. — Colin Kalmbacher (@colinkalmbacher) February 19, 2021 This is hardly the strict enforcement we saw under Trump, but it does place Biden more in the realm of Barack Obama, who did actually carry out a lot of deportations. In other words, Biden’s “no deportations” for 100 days pledge is done, and his more left-wing fans aren’t happy about it. The ACLU apparently wants no deportations ever judging by their consternation. That’s not exactly surprising given the complete abandonment of principle the last decade or so. Unfortunately, the damage is already done. While Biden may be allowing deportations of criminals again, the surge that’s already underway won’t be stopped because perception has always mattered just as much as actual enforcement when it comes to policing the border. If people don’t come, there’s nothing to enforce. If they do come in large numbers, no level of enforcement will be enough to stop them all. Democrats, recognizing they’ve got a PR issue on their hands, have moved quickly to cover for Biden, introducing a new amnesty bill. Incredibly, it would offer citizenship to people already legally deported because nothing has to make any sense anymore. BREAKING: New immigration bill introduced by House and Senate Democrats will bring illegal aliens deported during the Trump administration back to the U.S. and provide them with citizenship — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) February 19, 2021 Such a bill will never get past a filibuster unless Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema break their very publicly stated promises. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.

TRUMP WILL BE SPEAKING NEXT SUNDAY. RATINGS WILL BE THROUGH THE ROOF AS AMERICA DESERATELY WANTS TO HEAR FROM THE REAL PRESIDENT... www.theepochtimes.com /trump-to-talk-about-the-future-of-republican-party-at-cpac-senior-advisor_3704716.html Trump to Talk About the Future of Republican Party at CPAC: Senior Advisor By Janita Kan Former President Donald Trump will talk about the future of the Republican party and lessons learned in 2020 during his upcoming speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference ( CPAC), Trump senior adviser Jason Miller has said. CPAC Communications Director Ian Walters told The Epoch Times on Saturday that the former president will be a keynote speaker at the conference and is scheduled to speak on the last day of the conference on Feb. 28. Trump’s attendance will be his first public appearance since leaving office. Miller told Newsmax on Saturday that Trump intends to share his views on the growing GOP support for his “America First” agenda as well as about what the Republican party could do to yield wins in 2022 and 2024 elections. “I think what you’re going to hear President Trump talk about next Sunday on the 28th is the future of the Republican Party and the number of lessons that we learned in 2020, where we saw President Trump bring in a record amount of African American voters, Latino American voters on the GOP side, bigger numbers than we’ve seen in modern Republican presidential history,” Miller said. “We have to keep these voters engaged in the party.” Trump is a frequent guest at the conference, hosted by the American Conservative Union, that attracts hundreds of conservatives each year. This year’s event, which will run between Feb. 25 and 28, will be held in Orlando, Florida. Other confirmed speakers at the event include South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Secretary of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson, and former acting national security adviser Richard Grenell. In 2020, Trump spoke out against the rising influence of socialism, which was the conference’s theme that year. The former president warned about the agenda of far-left radicals and its impact on America if left unchecked. “Far-left radicals have become increasingly desperate and increasingly dangerous in their quest to transform America into a country you would not recognize—a country in which they control every aspect of American life,” Trump said at the time. “Just as socialist and communist movements have done all over the world, they’re cracking down on all dissent and demanding absolute conformity. They want total control.” He said that if socialist policies are left to flourish then they would “turn America very quickly into a large-scale Venezuela.” Current and former advisers of Trump have said that the former president intends to spend time and money to help Republicans flip the House of Representatives and the Senate in 2022. The Republican party is currently assessing its path forward post-Trump presidency. While some Republicans, including Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), have called for their party to move beyond Trump, others argue that embracing the former president and his policies such as his “America First” agenda is the way forward. Trump issued a strong statement earlier this week criticizing McConnell’s leadership and arguing that the Republican Party won’t be successful in the future with McConnell at the front. “He will never do what needs to be done, or what is right for our Country. Where necessary and appropriate, I will back primary rivals who espouse Making America Great Again and our policy of America First. We want brilliant, strong, thoughtful, and compassionate leadership,” Trump said. “Then came the Georgia disaster, where we should have won both U.S. Senate seats, but McConnell matched the Democrat offer of $2,000 stimulus checks with $600. How does that work?” the former president added. “It became the Democrats’ principal advertisement, and a big winner for them it was.” Trump added that the GOP under McConnell’s leadership “will never do what needs to be done in order to secure a free and fair electoral system in the future.” Jack Phillips contributed to this report.
