ANALYSIS – Unfortunately, it's a little late. The Biden border crisis has been ongoing for over two years. It's only about to get much worse. When Time publishes a piece warning about an impending border crisis, you know it's a lot more serious than they say.
And this time it will be impossible for the establishment media to ignore or sweep under the rug.
Criminal smugglers, and the powerful drug cartels they work for, control parts of the border. They have been telling would-be illegal migrants that the end of Title 42 will allow people to come into the U.S.
I have written that there are between 700,000 and one million migrants poised to swarm the border this week when Joe Biden has set Title 42 to expire.
In preparation for the expected migrant onslaught, Biden ordered 1,500 active-duty U.S. troops to the border to support Customs and Border Protection (CPB) agents on the ground. Though these troops will be mostly performing administrative duties.
Of course, Time does its best to ignore Biden's dramatic reversal of Donald Trump's effective border and immigration policies as a cause of the current crisis. Instead, it shills for Team Biden by mindlessly repeating the left's talking points:
There's very little a homeland security secretary or an American President can do to reverse human migration patterns predominantly caused by climate change, new storm patterns, rampant violence and economic need. U.S. immigration laws, which could create orderly entry points for migrants to register and work and live in the U.S., are poorly designed to do so, and haven't been updated in three decades.
Sorry Time, those are all red herrings and have been minor factors for years. The biggest factor in the crisis that has hit our border over the past two years – and is about to get far worse – is Joe Biden and his homeland security secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas.
Republicans have been sharply critical of Mayorkas' performance as head of DHS and have called for his removal.
Beyond national security and humanitarian concerns, the consequences of this coming illegal migrant tsunami will also have an impact on the 2024 elections.
And Biden and the Democrats have reason to be worried.
Time writes:
The expected surge in migrants at the border comes weeks after Biden announced his bid for another term in office. A protracted border crisis could become a political liability for Biden going into the 2024 election. A poll in April of swing state voters by Global Strategy Group found that 52% of voters think Biden is ignoring the problem of immigration. But Biden's new efforts to open up more legal ways to enter the United States, while increasing the consequences for those who cross into the US illegally, may resonate with voters in the key states he needs to win reelection. The April poll found that 76% of swing state voters had positive views of increasing border security, and a similar majority of voters, 75%, viewed providing pathways to citizenship in a positive light.
This is probably why a Member of Congress from Biden's own party is demanding that he and Mayorkas join Republicans to find a bipartisan solution on immigration as Biden ends the Trump-era Title 42 expulsion policy.
Fox News reports:
Rep. Sharice Davids, D-Kan., warned that the expected onslaught of people trying to cross the border illegally after Title 42 ends could exacerbate the “humanitarian and refugee crisis” if nothing is done to mitigate it.
“As the President has decided to lift the [Title 42] order this week, we now face a doubling of illegal crossings at our southern border by some estimates, exacerbating the current humanitarian and refugee crisis,” Davids wrote in a letter addressed to Mayorkas.
Davids adds:
As Congress considers immigration reform in the coming weeks, we must make clear to the American people that we are taking this challenge seriously and are ready to find solutions. You [Mayorkas] have had a year to engage prior to the lifting of Title 42, and I hope that you and the President both recommit to working with Congress to achieve real results.

What is happening at the southern border is a betrayal of the nation’s citizens, and what do the courts do? they sit on their thumbs and spin!
And in anticipation of this upcoming border invasion, Republicans are getting ready to assemble their most massive investigation of the Democrats yet to date!
