Joe Biden opened the floodgates for illegal migrants
The Biden White House has opened the floodgates on illegal immigration — literally.
Tuesday’s Post article exposed the 114 floodgates in Arizona’s border wall that have been welded open, permanently.
What can be the intent except to aid illegal crossings?
Migrants are now flowing across at an average rate of 1,400 per day, putting Tucson ahead even of other border-crisis zones El Paso and Laredo in Texas.
The Tucson border post saw 42,561 illegal crossings in July, a nearly 56% rise from an already mind-boggling 27,294 in June.
The opened floodgates join other Biden-era innovations to ease illegal entry, including a lifting of the cap on wave-ins via the CBP One app — a Kafkaesque tool for migrants to schedule their illegal jump-across.
So much for the Biden lie that the border is under control.
No wonder the White House is blatantly distorting the numbers getting in, with a lowball figure off by 334%.
This administration has revealed with finality that it simply doesn’t care how many come in illegally.
Or how far across the country the crisis spreads.
No wonder migrants as far away as New York City are (again, literally) thanking Biden.
“Gracias, Presidente,” said one now housed in the new $20-million-a-month Randall’s Island tent city.
And no wonder New York has completely turned on the issue.
Mayor Eric Adams has long since changed his rhetoric about welcoming migrants with open arms.
Dozens of Democratic lawmakers here rightly demanded action from Biden in a searing open letter.
And 82% of New Yorkers, per a new Siena Poll, see the migrant influx as a serious problem.
That includes 77% of Dems. And 74% of Latino respondents.
Almost 60% say New Yorkers have done enough to help the migrants and should now try and stop the flow.
New York isn’t alone here: Dems from Massachusetts to Illinois to the border states themselves have taken up the banner of Enough is enough.
Biden and his enablers have so far turned a deaf ear to these pleas, as Americans and the migrants themselves suffer unthinkably.
The only hope is clearly change in DC.
And Biden may see such change a lot sooner than he clearly believes.
