Biden Will Go to the Border. Most Likely. Maybe. Probably Not.

PJM: The first step to fixing a problem is admitting that you have one. Unless of course, you’re the Biden administration. Then the first step is to blame someone else for it.

At first blush, it would appear that Biden and Co. are finally going to get serious about the crisis on the southern border. But not so fast—there’s a catch. It isn’t the administration’s fault. It never is.

On Wednesday, DHS Secretary Alejandro “The Truth is Not Out There” Mayorkas admitted to there being an illegal immigration issue. Of course, he did not use the word “illegal” and blamed someone else, according to Fox News. During a Wednesday interview/talking points briefing with The Washington Post, he was queried about what the administration will do about the influx of illegals once Title 42 came to an end. Mayorkas stated:

There’s no question that the number of encounters that we are experiencing at the border is straining our system. No one disagrees with that. We just can’t seem to agree upon the solution. And a solution is long, long overdue. Within the broken immigration system that we are operating we are managing the number of encounters, and we are prepared to address the end of Title 42. We’ve been preparing for this since well beyond last year.

So far, so good, but don’t get your hopes up. According to Mayorkas, Congress needs to pass immigration legislation that will include… if you guessed amnesty, winner, winner, chicken dinner! With amnesty guaranteed, immigrants “could” start an eight-year path to citizenship. Mayorkas supports it in part because the U.S. has a labor shortage: MORE
