President Biden stated he isn't going to go to the border due to "extra necessary issues occurring."

Joe Biden simply admitted, but once more, that the humanitarian catastrophe at our southern border doesn't matter to him. He merely views it as a negligible value to pay for his open-borders coverage.
“There are extra necessary issues occurring,” sniffed the president, when requested by Fox Information’ Peter Doocy why he had not visited the border throughout an Arizona go to.
Sorry, however there actually aren’t any, no less than not domestically.
The fiscal 12 months that ended September 30 noticed a file 2.4 million migrants encountered on the southern border, up virtually 40% from the earlier 12 months (which was already a record-breaker). There have been no less than 207,000 encounters already in November, in addition to 137,000 “gotaways” — migrants noticed however not stopped by Customs and Border Safety brokers — since October 1.
Keep in mind too that a large chunk of these stopped are turned again below Title 42, a Trump-era COVID rule that Biden tried to do away with (then panicked when he noticed how dangerous the numbers have been and reversed course).However a federal courtroom has ordered the rule should expire by Dec. 21. So anticipate one other tidal wave improve to start out 2023.
And as dangerous as they're, the uncooked numbers can’t give an actual sense of the human toll. Small border cities are being strained to the breaking level by migrant inflows. Even El Paso, a midsize metropolis, has been pushed to the purpose of declaring a state of emergency.And the migrants too bear the fee: Not less than a file 853 died that fiscal 12 months attempting to cross, up from 546 (itself a file) in 2021. Numerous others doubtless died in transit.
The border disaster is spreading, as nicely, with migrants arriving in cities as far-off as New York and including an enormous burden to an already strained social-services system.
But Biden sees this as unimportant. And each sign from the White Home suggests there’s no substantive coverage change on faucet.
Certainly, his newest smug dismissal is firmly of a bit with his administration’s basic perspective on the border, a combination of indifference, outright lies and ethereal dissembling.
OK, we get why the president may not wish to head south to see the carnage: His insurance policies — decreased enforcement, implicit guarantees of de facto citizenship — are the very reason for it. But can’t the prez present a least a little compassion?
Biden is pooh-poohing utter social chaos and hideous dying tolls. It’s sociopathic — and but extra proof of simply how inhumane progressive insurance policies are.
