Hilarious and lame: Biden tries to blame Republican governors for his border crisis | Washington Examiner

The flight of illegal immigrants from San Antonio to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, organized by FloridaGov. Ron DeSantis is the political gift that keeps on giving. According to the Democrats, this flight so traumatized the immigrants involved that a civil rights lawsuit has been filed on their behalf.
But back in the real world, according to the Los Angeles Times, when the immigrants' friends and relatives overseas heard what happened to them, they … decided to try and come to the United States too.

"I heard you can get a lot of help out there," an immigrant's friend texted him through WhatsApp after news of the Martha's Vineyard flight spread. "Is it true?" That's right: The DeSantis flight was so harmful to the migrants involved that migrants from around the world are now lining up, hoping to get similar flights.
And the Biden administration is even trying to blame the border crisis, a crisis that Biden started 18 months before the DeSantis flight, on DeSantis.
Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Chris Magnus told the New York Times: "It's safe to say what's going on is a pull factor, which is somewhat ironic given the criticism from some of these same governors involved in this about various pull factors that they claim already exist."
It's good to see a Biden administration official finally acknowledge, after creating a full-blown crisis, that there are "pull factors" drawing people to enter the U.S. illegally. But it is laughable to claim that it is the free bus rides from Texas and Arizona to the East Coast that are causing them to come.
Not even Biden's open-borders allies are buying this argument. "People are not fleeing and trying to exercise their human right to seek safety because of a free bus ride," Amnesty International USA Advocacy Director Amy Fischer said.
Fischer is right, but she is wrong about people having a right to come to the U.S. Nearly 7 million immigrants have fled Venezuela since 2014. They have been living safely and free from government persecution in other countries for almost a decade now. There is no reason for them to come to the U.S. specifically, and they have no legal right to come here. There is no universal human right to move to whatever country on Earth you want.
The only reason these immigrants are illegally crossing our southern border now is that they are being told by the immigrants already here that the southern border is open, thanks to President Joe Biden. They know that the current Biden administration policy is to catch people illegally crossing the southern border and then release them into the U.S. to go wherever they want.
Until that policy changes, until Biden swallows his pride and reimplements President Donald Trump's successful "Remain in Mexico" program, the border crisis, which is killing record numbers of illegal immigrants, will only get worse.

It's the other guys' fault! LMAO
No Trump or his supports
This is what happens when you elect stupid into office. This bumbling idiot STILL doesn't grasp that it's his own policies that is allowing it to happen.
To top it off the hypocrite democrats that declared their cities sanctuary cities also declared an emergency when the illegals arrived in their cities and shipped them off on somewhere else.
It's amusing that Democrats don't even have to offer coherent arguments to keep their base enraged.
Left side of the mouth: "Transporting illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities is human trafficking! The illegal aliens are being abused!
Right side of the mouth "The illegals are so happy with being transported to sanctuary cities they are encouraging more illegal immigration!"
