MEDIA: LET’S BLAME THE BORDER CRISIS ON TRUMP!

August 29, 2024/8 Comments/in Featured Articles/by Ann Coulter

The biggest problem Democrats have this year is the mess they’ve made of the border. No matter how many cartwheels the media do for Kamala Harris, immigration remains a top issue for voters — and they blame the Democrats. (I have a theory as to why: Probably because Democrats intentionally flung open the border and let in 10 million illegal immigrants.)

            The media-Democratic Party complex has tried all manner of lies to hide the crime, but those deceptions crumbled on the slightest examination. (Kamala was NOT the “border czar”!) 

Apparently, the lie they decided to stick with is the one about Trump ordering Republicans to oppose AN INCREDIBLY TOUGH BORDER BILL! Why, it’s draconian! The harshest immigration bill this century!   But Trump opposed it only so that he could keep the border as a campaign issue. What a cynical, heartless bastard.

As Harris put it in her acceptance speech:

“Last year, Joe and I brought together Democrats and conservative Republicans to write the strongest border bill in decades. … But Donald Trump believes a border deal would hurt his campaign, so he ordered his allies in Congress to kill the deal. Well, I refuse to play politics with our security. And here is my pledge to you: As president, I will bring back the bipartisan border security bill that he killed, and I will sign it into law.”

In fact, the ”strongest border bill in decades” was nothing of the kind: It was a mandate for open borders. Future presidents wouldn’t have to violate federal law to fling open the border, as the Biden administration has done — they would be required by federal law to fling open the border, as the Biden administration has done. That’s pretty much the only thing the bill did: codify the Biden administration’s disastrous immigration policies.

The left claims this bill is tough because it massively increases the amount of money spent on border patrol — which is how they purchased the BP union’s support for the bill. The agents still wouldn’t be allowed to do their jobs, but they’d get paid more.

Needless to say, every conservative group, publication and member of Congress had trashed the bill before Trump even mentioned it.

On Jan. 3, Speaker Mike Johnson said that if Biden wanted more Ukraine money for national security, “it better begin with defending America’s national security,” meaning a “closed and secured” border.

On Jan. 9, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky said on Fox News that the border deal was “a sellout. … It’s saying, ‘Oh, we’ll let 5,000 people come illegally a day, and then after that, we might try to stop the next 5,000 that day.’”

Discussing the bill the very same day, Democrat negotiator Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut said the Democrats would refuse to stop Biden from unilaterally releasing millions of illegal immigrants into the country. (Which, by the way, he’s doing in violation of existing federal law.)

In response, the Washington Examiner’s Conn Carroll tweeted: “ok then well that’s ballgame. guess Dems don’t want to end the border crisis after all.”

On Jan. 12, Breitbart published all the gruesome details under the headline: “Senate GOP Border Deal Leaked: Migrants to Get Work Permits, Lawyers, Green Cards.” And, as Sen. Murphy had promised, Democrats had rejected all proposals to secure the border — no fencing, no end to “catch and release,” and no return to Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” program.

Shouldn’t someone tell them that most immigration bills are designed to discourage illegal immigration?

On Jan. 13, Gov. Ron DeSantis said the border bill would be “dead on arrival” if he were in the White House.

On Jan. 15, liberal Democrat (who doesn’t hate his country) Mickey Kaus tweeted: “I mean, what is [Sen. Mitch McConnell] thinking? … He really thought the House would buy this sh*t sandwich? … Has he lost it? … McConnell really should step down.” (In response, McConnell’s chief of staff assured reporters that the senator was “sharp as a tack” and that they could “barely keep up with him.”)

The bill was scorched on Fox News, in The Washington Times, in the House and Senate and all over Twitter. Congressional switchboards lit up like a Christmas tree. Before the bill was even officially released, at least six senators came out against it — Marsha Blackburn (Tennessee), Mike Braun (Indiana), Tim Scott (South Carolina), Josh Hawley (Missouri), Mike Lee (Utah) and Ted Cruz (Texas).

But according to the media’s telling — that is, the lie — this bill was sailing through Congress until Trump bigfooted it. After all, why would it bother any Republican that it required Americans to accept at least 1.8 million illegal aliens every year, would grant asylum to anyone who asked for it, provided even more free benefits to illegals and funneled billions of dollars to the NGOs helping illegals into our country, while doing absolutely nothing to strengthen our border? Forget a wall — this bill did nothing.

That’s the Democrats’ idea of the “strongest border bill in decades.”

Trump’s very first comment on the bill was on Jan. 17 — following two weeks of the conservative media tearing it to shreds. He posted on Truth Social: “I do not think we should do a Border Deal, at all, unless we get EVERYTHING needed to shut down the INVASION of Millions & Millions of people, many from parts unknown, into our once great, but soon to be great again, Country!”

Whereupon Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., claimed Republicans were blocking the bill “on orders from Trump.”

By now, this politically motivated lie has been repeated thousands of times, with the same assurance — and by the same people — as their claims that Trump colluded with Russia, called neo-Nazis “very fine people,” and told Americans to drink bleach.

They know it for a fact, as surely as they knew Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation” and Biden was sharp as a tack.

    Although possibly handicapped by pre-selected questions, the Orange Donald must use a scalpel not a blunderbuss in televised debate with the Black Kamala on popular concerns like future immigration, ethnic crime, industrial decay and reproductive wrongs.

      Your advice is good, but Trump would never follow it. His style is only to use the blunderbuss, not the scalpel. It would be easy for any well-prepared debater to defeat commie Kamala on the issues of immigration, black crime, industrial decay and abortion. But he won’t. The Deep State would veto it. He doesn’t want to get shot again.

    Biden’s border bill was a total waste of money, doing nothing to solve the border crisis. That’s why it was defeated. Trump was only one of many to oppose it, as the author proves in this article.

    It takes a lot of chutzpah for the jew-media to blame Trump for the border crisis, when the Jews are the cause of it. Jews are disloyal – they want to increase our population to one billion – entirely fueled by non-White immigration.

    This problem could be easily solved. It doesn’t require any new legislation. The border could be shut down any time, and the number of migrants reduced to zero. All it takes is a patriotic government to do it. Instead, we’ve got jew-rule, rule by enemy aliens, with its disgusting, perverted “culture”.

      A proper, thoroughly objective analysis of activities by the most influential Jews is needed, including an examination of their motives at any time. Many are now wary of increasing the US voting population by immigrants who are mostly hostile to Israel.

        I could not agree more but don’t expect anything like that from Coulter who steadfastly gaslights with her preposterous claptrap that the Uniparty (even more properly called Jewniparty) is in fact two parties `and her favorite, DeSantis, is in the “right” one.
        As for the immigrants being “mostly hostile to Israel,” “our elder brothers” ruling us cannot possibly be worried about a mob of parasites depending on the dole we are forced to provide them.

          In the UK the Muslim & anti-Israel groups are a problem for the Jewish community as the fate of Corbyn and the Gaza demonstrations well illustrate.
          Israeli action in the West Bank has created further complications.

    Can’t read Coulter. Americans are way behind on reality.

    The border crisis began in earnest during WWII, when third world latinos flooded into US jobs vacated by men sent to fight in the war, despite the fact that mexico was aligned w/ Germany against the US (wtf). After the war ended, Operation Wetback temporarily removed millions of them, but the illegal invasions continued and many were pardoned by republican president ronald reagan. This began a massive flood of latinos from latin america that has continued under all administrations, both rethuglian and demorats (there are 600 million of them). To blame only one party for these acts of treason, is an act of treason itself. Reality is the federal system has been an enemy not just to US citizens and the american experiment (never had a chance), but the entire world. It’s a f-ing menace
