Does the White House Think We're Stupid?

So, all of a sudden the Biden administration is allowing construction of a wall at our southern border. Huh, how about that? The president would like us to believe he has no control over what amounts to a huge flip-flop of his oft-repeated campaign promise that, “not another foot of wall (would be) constructed” if he won election. He righteously declared that a wall “is not the border security we need.”

Now, after a reported 4.9 million migrants have flooded into the US under his tenure, the president shrugs and says that, well, you know, errrr, Congress appropriated the money to build about 20 more miles of border wall and so, ummm, there’s nothing he can do about it. Asked if he thinks the wall is effective in keeping out the hoards of illegal entries Mr. Biden seemed to almost snicker when he said, “No.” So why the hell doesn’t he launch a legal fight to try to stop a resumption of construction?

“We are complying with the law,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre kept saying over and over during a media briefing after the stunning news dropped about a resumption of border wall construction. “We are complying with the law.”

Does the White House think we’re stupid?

The president didn’t hesitate to ignore the law when it came to his idea to forgive up to $400 billion in student loan debt. Don’t tell me not one of Mr. Biden’s advisors mentioned that the plan was a.) a budget buster and inflation igniter and b.) obviously illegally unconstitutional. The president didn’t blink an eye when he decided to spend taxpayer money on government lawyers to fight the inevitable challenge to his scheme which seemed designed to court young voters. Then after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June that the president had overstepped his bounds with that idea, he thumbed his nose at the high court by announcing another program to forgive $9 billion in student loans. Geez, even Senator Elizabeth Warren is saying out loud that she thinks Biden will lose again when the pared down version is challenged.

Does someone need to remind Joe Biden that he is the leader of a superpower? If he truly believes pouring millions (billions?) into building more border wall is a bad idea he could fight the idea. His own administration provided the ammunition if he was truly convinced that a border wall is not a true deterrent to migration invasion. In an official notice filed this week it was revealed that building more border wall would likely violate some two dozen federal laws and regulations, including the Clean Air Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Endangered Species Act. But instead of fighting Congress on the grounds that construction would go up against all those laws the Biden Administration announced it would waive them all.

“We are complying with the law,” the amateurish press secretary declares. Time for Ms. Jean-Pierre to get another, more believable comeback. It’s obvious that Mr. Biden has come to the realization that something drastic must be done to stop the millions of illegals coming into this country. It’s time for our president to stop insulting our collective intelligence.
