We have lost our way in making decisions and setting policy in Washington. We used to have a process where Congress would pass legislation by compromising across the aisle, the Executive Branch would approve it, and the Supreme Court would step in if Constitutionality was in question. Discussion, compromise, bilateral, and bicameral were the norm and not the exception. That was then. Today is very different, and the new process is not serving the people.

Today, bills are pushed through by whichever Party is in power. It would be a smoother and easier process if the same Party controlled both chambers. Congress becomes a stalemate when we are split as we are after the 2022 Midterms. Not a bad thing because a stalemated Congress finds it difficult to spend our tax dollars. Unfortunately, it also becomes lame when we need Congress to deal with a crisis. Our Border is such a crisis, and our deadlocked Congress gives rise to Joe Biden’s pen. On January 20, 2021, we saw how dangerous Joe Biden could be with a pen. The only redeeming quality of a Joe Biden Executive Order is that it will only last until January 20, 2025, when newly elected President DeSantis signs orders negating all of Biden’s actions.

In an effort to lessen the stress on the Border, the Biden administration earlier this month announced a new parole program for entrance of up to 30,000 eligible migrants a month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
Under the new plan, a migrant must have a U.S. sponsor. Those who do not use the parole process to enter the country will be returned to Mexico.

These 360,000 immigrants will not be instead of the two million illegals that are entering our country but in addition. Biden is being creative by fast-tracking these hundreds of thousands of immigrants. This proposed policy has raised the ire of many states throughout the nation. Nineteen states have joined to sue the Biden Administration to prevent the validation of this harmful legislative proposal. Biden is set to go the Executive Order route to put this pan into play quickly.

Biden met last month with the leaders of Canada and Mexico and had a tremendous opportunity to discuss Border security, the spread of Cartel influence into America, and the production and distribution of Chinese made Fentanyl. Crickets. There is no indication that any of these three topics came to the table. To not have a discussion and come up with a plan to address these issues is a gross dereliction of the President’s responsibility to protect the citizens of the United States. He had ample opportunity but failed us. According to reports on the talks, climate change took center stage, and there was no time for discussions on three significant issues for much of the country. Why?

One of the reasons is the financial connection between Biden and the Chinese. China has a deep hold on Mexico and is the only supplier of Fentanyl used by the Mexican Cartels. The Cartels are generating billions of dollars in revenue from selling Fentanyl in America and smuggling illegals across our Border. We know Biden is compromised and will not utter a word or take any action against the Chinese government, but it also looks like he is either beholden to or intimidated by the Cartels. This connection has to be investigated because the Cartels are entrenching in most of our states, and this will only lead to increased violence, drug use, and deaths. How much more proof do we need that Joe Biden aims to destroy America? I have seen enough.
