Daily Verse | Habakkuk 3:2
Lord, I have heard of your fame;
    I stand in awe of your deeds, O Lord.
Renew them in our day,
    in our time make them known;
    in wrath remember mercy.

Happy Tuesday, fellow Broadsiders. I find the skunk cabbage and horse radish bisque a bit salty.

I wish I had encouraging news to share most mornings but, alas, the Biden junta and his junior commies are in control of the levers of power. That means that we’re on a fast track to a morally corrupt and bankrupt system that doesn’t give a $#!+ about our Constitution, the laws that supposedly govern our nation, or We the People. What matters to them is virtue signaling nebulous terms like fairness, diversity and systemic racism, while enriching and keeping themselves in power.

The Great Population Displacement continues apace as our completely objective, unbiased Cuba-born Homeland Security secretary, Señor Alejandro Mayorkas, explained matter-of-factly that 12,000 of the more than 30,000 Haitians who have crossed into Del Rio, Texas, since September 9 have been released into the interior of the United States.

“Approximately, I think it’s about 10,000 or so, 12,000,” Mayorkas told “Fox News Sunday” when asked how many have already been released. He then acknowledged that this number could very well go up as the 5,000 other cases are processed.

“It could be even higher. The number that are returned could be even higher. What we do is we follow the law as Congress has passed it,” Mayorkas said.

He’s a liar. He straight up lies to the American people when he says, “we follow the law as Congress has passed it.” Oh, sure, maybe they “follow the law” after the foreigners are in the country—maybe!—but there is no law that says it’s legal for foreigners to simply jump the border because they want to come into the United States.

Congress has addressed our border with “robust immigration laws” (bold emphasis mine):

People may no longer realize that America has robust immigration laws.  You can find them at 8 USC §1151 et seq.  These laws govern all aspects of admitting non-citizens and non-legal residents into the United States.

The laws are predicated on the idea that America has a border and that it has the right to control that border. Congress addressed not being a public charge, working illegally in the country, bringing in dangerous communicable disease, being mentally ill, and being a dangerous criminal or a drug-runner, and required visas, sponsors, and entering through appropriate checkpoints rather than sneaking in. Stuff like that.

Señor Mayorkas is not following the law “as Congress has passed it.” He’s allowing nearly a million people to jump the border this year rather than “entering through appropriate checkpoints.” Worse, Resident Biden is not only complicit in flouting those laws, he’s the lead offender.

One of the first things Joe Biden did upon entering the Oval Office was sign executive orders that either make it harder for government employees to enforce these laws or require them not to enforce them at all. Thus, he stopped work on a wall that had as its sole purpose preventing illegal aliens from bypassing legal border checkpoints. That is, he made it easier for illegal aliens to sneak in.

He also ordered the “restoration” the U.S. asylum system as it existed before Trump. Trump’s approach complied with the law by requiring people seeking asylum to wait in Latin America until they could formally enter America and make their case. Biden’s reinstated Obama approach allows entry to everyone who claims asylum, assigns all of these people court dates, and then shuttles them into America’s interior, where the administration knows they’ll disappear. This isn’t a legal system; it’s aiding and abetting a federal crime.

Biden is also rolling back the “public charge rule,” along with other barriers to immigration. We all know that executives have power over “rules,” except the whole public charge thing isn’t just a “rule.” It implements 8 USC §1182(a)(4), in which Congress explicitly stated that an alien is inadmissible if “at the time of application for admission … [he] is likely at any time to become a public charge.” Again, Biden is ordering government employees to aid and abet a federal crime.

Along with the lawlessness that has created a crisis on the border, the Resident turns around and denounces the very people who are tasked with enforcing the laws (again, my emphasis):

Last week, the entire Democrat-media complex falsely accused Border Patrol agents of whipping Haitian illegal immigrants who were attempting to cross the Rio Grande River into Del Rio, Texas.

These claims were quickly debunked by Border Patrol officials and the photographer who took the pictures. The agents on horseback were using long reins to control their horses,  twirling them to move their horses forward, not to whip migrants.

Photographer Paul Ratje said he and his colleagues never saw them whipping anyone, but nonetheless, activists and elected Democrats—including Joe Biden—eagerly fueled the racially charged lie to deflect blame for border crisis.

“To see people treated like they did, horses barely running over, people being strapped – it’s outrageous,” Biden said, making a whipping motion with his arm. “I promise you, those people will pay. There will be an investigation underway now and there will be consequences. There will be consequences,” he said on Friday.

It’s maddening. The entire house of cards is crashing and it’s the people entrusted with keeping the house standing who are destroying it.

Why do our federal employees get away with their lawlessness? It’s because they’re a cabal of law-breakers who have each other’s backs. We can’t impeach Biden for his incompetence and willful disregard of the U.S. Constitution because he’s protected by the likes of Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and John Roberts.

There is nowhere to turn.
