Biden’s Incredible Incompetence . . . Rewards Waves Of Illegal Immigrants He Begged To Invade U.S.

April 21, 2021 Frontpage No Comments

By DEXTER DUGGAN

PHOENIX — A Mexican-heritage U.S. citizen told The Wanderer that part of the reason illegal immigrants flee into the United States is because their small Central American homelands aren’t “independently viable or sustainable. They should never have been allowed to exist in the first place,” but should have remained part of other countries.
Reymundo Torres, a Catholic who lives in the eastern Phoenix suburbs, made that remark in an April 13 email interview on the current invasion at the southern U.S. boundary created by Joe Biden’s rejection of President Trump’s border-security policies.
Torres was born in the United States but was sent by his parents to attend college and study the Spanish language in Mexico City, so he’d have an understanding of his heritage.
Meanwhile, Biden did all he could to stick three or four thumbs of his all-thumbs hands into Americans’ eyes to show how he repudiated Trump’s achievements as much as he could while selecting officials based on criteria like racial- and sexual-identity politics.
Yet again inflaming the border crisis, Biden chose an Arizona police chief to head U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) who was known for being a homosexual supporter of Black Lives Matter and opponent of Trump policies.
Here is the Wanderer Q-and-A with Torres, where the questions were submitted by email for him to answer.
Q. Could you please give your observations on the current Biden-caused surge of illegal immigrants, starting with what you see as Biden’s motivation for causing this chaos?
A. This chaos is purposefully and strategically orchestrated. The Democrat strategy is to flood in as many as possible before the media and public push back, make it unsustainable to do so. The aftermath is for them to make a dramatic case for “comprehensive immigration reform” a/k/a amnesty for the hordes of new Democrat voters whom they will have nationalized or put on the path to citizenship.
Q. Do you think the migrants Biden has attracted understood the amount of suffering, rapes, dangers and drug trafficking they’d face on their trip? Some little kids (not 17-year-old males) really seem to be unhappy at this trip.
A. I am quite sure they are aware of the risks. They aren’t the first to form a caravan and they won’t be the last. Their unsustainable nation-states of origin are no less of a threat in most cases. However, the thought of getting here and of being given the hope of amnesty once they do easily override those fears.
Q. As usual, many of the unauthorized arrivals appear to “hope for a better life,” but so do U.S. citizens they displace. What do you see as the new arrivals’ responsibility to improve their own homelands? 
A. It’s a catch-22 because, other than in the case of Mexico, no country between our southern border and Colombia’s northern border is independently viable or sustainable. They should never have been allowed to exist in the first place. They should have remained part of Mexico or, in Panama’s case, part of Colombia. The cost of their pointless independence is now being borne by the American taxpayer.
Although I do believe they have a responsibility to their respective homelands, I can understand why they don’t possess an American-style sense of duty to their respective nations or any corresponding patriotism.
Q. Why is so little said in politics and the media about the injustice of their jumping the line of legal immigrants? 
A. There is nothing dramatic or sexy about filling out forms, gathering documents, paying a fee for an appointment and waiting in an immense line outside a U.S. embassy or consulate office. It doesn’t have the same Hollywood draw as a family floating across a river or hiding in the back of a semi-tractor-trailer.
Q. At this point The Wanderer called Torres’ attention to an online message by Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley, in Texas, on providing assistance to countless illegal immigrants including food, medicine, a shower and clean clothing as they journey northward, while expressing no qualms about a Catholic agency facilitating the lawbreaking involved.
A. The Church is an active beneficiary of the trafficking and illegal migration of countless new parishioners to the parishes of the U.S. The added bonus is that they are far less demanding than the average “Karen” on the parish council and are blindly reverent of a religion they theologically do not understand but, culturally, can never divorce themselves from.
The Church will continue to play this little globalist game as long as the pews get filled and nobody asks questions.

  • + + Meanwhile, when word came that Biden would nominate Tucson Police Chief Chris Magnus to head Customs and Border Protection, Phoenix radio talk host James T. Harris (KFYI, 550 AM) quickly said on April 12, “They couldn’t find a more absurd cartoon character for this position,” who earlier was chosen as Tucson police chief for his being a BLM-backing homosexual.
    Harris was a radio talk host in Tucson before moving northwest to Phoenix in 2018. Magnus previously was police chief in Richmond, a city in the San Francisco Bay area. He rejected strict border enforcement, favored sanctuary cities, and said that Trump’s opposition to these sanctuaries made policing more difficult.
    Also, the conservative Washington Free Beacon site posted on April 13 that Biden’s nominee for Pentagon policy chief, Colin Kahl, “is a vocal opponent of sending U.S. military personnel to address the southern border crisis,” and “called the Trump administration’s decision in 2018 to deploy troops to the southern border a ‘dangerous precedent’ and a ‘stunt,’ and called on then-secretary of Defense James Mattis to resign rather than carry out the order….
    “On social media, Kahl repeatedly claimed that security problems at the border in 2018 and 2019 were ‘a fake crisis,’ ‘made up,’ and ‘bogus.’ He also mocked ‘the phony terrorism threat Team Trump likes to talk about on the southern border’,” the Free Beacon article added.
    Reuters reported that Biden also planned to nominate to a key position another strong critic of Trump’s immigration policies, “signaling a continued push to ease Trump’s restrictions on migration.” That person, Reuters said, is “Ur Jaddou as director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which handles immigration paperwork and processing.”
    Amid Joke Biden’s Democratic Party push to ensure that as many illegal immigrants as possible are attracted to shoving into the U.S., Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a Republican, called on the GOP governor of the Grand Canyon State, Doug Ducey, to declare a state of emergency.
    In an April 13 letter to Ducey, Brnovich said the declaration of emergency was needed “to address the border crisis and the human and illegal-drug trafficking that will continue to flow from it.”
    The attorney general also said “time is of the essence” in activating the National Guard on the border. “Border Patrol agents and local law-enforcement officials are overwhelmed and demoralized by this unprecedented surge of illegal immigration. They require reinforcements as soon as possible, even if it means we have to act now and fight for the federal dollars later.”
    Brnovich noted other avenues he was pursuing, such as opposition to Biden’s illegally stopping construction of the border wall, illegally halting deportation of apprehended immigrants with criminal convictions, and refusing to defend the public charge rule, which ensures that government assistance programs “are preserved for Americans who depend on them.”
    National talk-radio host Sean Hannity interviewed Brnovich about his unanswered invitation to Vice President Kamala Harris to meet him at the Arizona border. Brnovich spoke well and at length on the radio program, prompting Hannity to ask if Brnovich would be running for a U.S. Senate seat.
    The inexperienced Harris had dropped out of sight on border issues after Joke Biden said he was designating her to oversee these problems.
    The Biden administration going out of its way to reward illegal immigrants better than U.S. citizens was drawing attention.
    KFYI radio host Harris on April 12 said he’d just seen a homeless camp of U.S. citizens that looks “like a Third World country” in downtown Phoenix, while a Holiday Inn in the local Ahwatukee area had been converted to hold illegal immigrants and was offering three catered meals a day.
    Harris said hotels’ business had suffered when the government discouraged travel by U.S. citizens, but now government was helping out hotels by having them accommodate illegal immigrants whose unauthorized travel it had encouraged.
    Citing a report in the Washington Examiner, Phoenix-based KTAR radio news (92.3 FM) reported on April 8 that one hotel here “will accept more than 200 migrants,” and another one, by the Phoenix airport, “will make 142 beds available.”
    This arrangement is part of a “nearly $86.9 million contract obtained by KTAR news,” the radio station said, “(that) will cover 1,239 hotel beds in Texas and Arizona. The hotels will serve as Emergency Family Reception Sites (EFRS) up to September 30, when the contract is scheduled to end. . . .
    “During their stay, they will be provided ‘appropriate family recreational activities in each individual room, meal services, laundry, cultural and legal orientation…and trauma-informed care’,” the report said, in addition to legal services and transportation to airports and bus stations.
    The Examiner posted on April 7: “Hundreds of people who illegally came over the U.S.-Mexico border with a family member will be placed in hotels in El Paso, Texas, and Chandler, Ariz., this Friday (April 9) as the Biden administration spends tens of millions of dollars to house people despite having its own holding centers, according to internal documents reviewed by the Washington Examiner.
    “ICE has not revealed whether the families will be sent back to their home countries or released into the United States,” the Examiner said, adding that a Phase Two was scheduled to begin April 30, when “600 beds will be made available in Pecos, Texas; Phoenix, Ariz., and Cotulla, Texas.”
    The Examiner reported that ICE had given the hotels attractive-sounding names in Spanish, whose translations in English include House of Consolation, House of Peace, House of Joy, House of Hope, and House of Compassion. The website said one of the hotels “has in-room kitchens and living rooms rather than just bedrooms. Roll-out beds and cots are also being factored in the available beds at each hotel.”
    On April 5 a southern Arizona woman who asked not to be identified because of her security fears due to living close to the border pointed to concerns by residents in Benson, Ariz., in the border county of Cochise.
    She told The Wanderer they worried that for-profit business VisionQuest National LTD, under contract with the federal government, took over a hotel there to house unaccompanied illegal minors.
    An article posted April 1 at the San Pedro Valley News-Sun said that during a March 22 Benson City Council meeting, “members of the public raised questions about VisionQuest, with some asking why city officials allowed such a facility in the community.
    “Benson resident Dawn Barrett — one of several who spoke at the meeting — noted that ‘Illegals housed at the facility are not tested for COVID until after they arrive,’ an issue that raised concerns throughout the room.”
    Illustrating federal government bureaucracy involved, the article said, “Oversight is through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and its Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), along with the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) program, which is managed by ORR within the Administration for Children and Families.”
    Arizona conservative GOP Cong. Andy Biggs wrote in a column posted April 10 at Townhall: “The situation along the United States-Mexico border worsens as the Biden administration continues to hold up a vacancy sign to the world. The humanitarian crisis that is happening because of President Biden’s dereliction of duty is coming to a neighborhood near you.”
