'Biden’s border shenanigans make me almost miss the good ol’ days of Donald Trump. The former president may have pursued a nativist agenda, but at least he came right out with it,' writes RubenNavarrette
who find the 57-year-old from Central California unlikable, uninspiring, and untrustworthy. And at the same time, Biden is showing everyone that he can be all those things when it comes to cracking down on immigrants and refugees.
The two code words of the Biden plan are “expand” and “expedite.” The idea is to expand the president’s power to expedite the removal of migrants and refugees deemed undesirable. It’s all part of the administration’s efforts to expand Title 42. That’s the provision of U.S. code created by a 1944 public health law that Trump invoked during the COVID-19 pandemic to severely curtail migrant border crossings. Biden promised to end Title 42 while campaigning for president. Once elected, he changed his mind and kept it for nearly two years until a federal judge struck it down. Last month, the Supreme Court ordered that Title 42 remain in place.
Biden claims that these new restrictions will end the current crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border. We can expect that to be the message he takes with him to El Paso on Sunday, when he visits the epicenter of the border chaos. It will be the first visit that Biden pays to the border, a subject area it’s obvious he knows very little about—with no desire to learn more.
Heck, on that day in June 2015 when Trump announced that he was running for president, he pretty much labeled my Mexican grandfather a rapist and drug trafficker. So much of Trump’s presidency was disgusting and profane, and his immigration policies set that tone.
