Biden’s lack of care for migrant dogs shows little concern for animals or people
Here’s another bone to pick with President Biden’s cruel open-border policies: The humanitarian disaster has spread into the animal kingdom, bringing misery and suffering to dogs.
That’s right: helpless, innocent dogs.
Post reporters this month spotted dozens of family dogs now living as strays thronging the public lands around Eagle Pass, Texas, a hugely popular entry place across the southern border.
Border Patrol agents try to place them in overwhelmed shelters; National Guardsmen try to feed the poor pups.
Migrant families bring them on the dangerous trek to the United States, then learn that rules around animal entry mean they can’t take the pets into processing centers or on most flights or buses onward into the interior.
So the migrants let the pups go to fend for themselves, facing terrible conditions and hunger.
Heartbreaking, for families and for the hounds.
But . . .
People who bring their dogs along as they travel through jungles and across mountains and deserts to reach our border are clearly not fleeing in search of asylum.
They’re migrating to pursue economic opportunity — specifically, enough that they can provide not only for their kids but for their pets as well.
Indeed, migrants are reportedly bringing a whole variety of pets including guinea pigs.
Not the behavior of people desperately fleeing oppression.
Meanwhile, the population of strays and their litters is growing and will eventually go feral, while many of the pups come from countries with high rabies rates, so this presents yet another second-order problem for Americans who live near the border.
The fanatics of PETA, of course, want Biden to let the pooches through: No canine being is illegal!
Yet the prez can’t even manage his own dogs, which keep biting people: They’re props, not pets.
But he’s cold to all the suffering his border madness brings, from deadly fentanyl smuggling to the financial cost to cities like New York and Chicago to booming underground economies and criminal migrant gangs.
The canine crisis only puts another set of sad faces on the nightmare.
