Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) went on Fox News on Monday to slam President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for the border crisis that remains ongoing on the U.S. border with Mexico.
Crenshaw went so far as to say that he thinks the two of them “like” having the crisis, which is “why they don’t want to solve it,” adding that it is “pretty obvious” that Harris does not care about the issue and that her recent trip to the border was for a “quick photo op.”
Crenshaw Sounds Off
“It’s pretty obvious Kamala Harris does not care about this issue,” Crenshaw said. “I think it’s rather obvious she only went to visit where there was a convenient airport, where she could do a quick photo op, say she did it because she was sick of getting made fun of by conservative media that she never went, but she’s not going to actually take any action.”
“Look, when it comes to these facilities, they are overcrowded, they are overwhelmed, and we could wring our hands trying to figure out what to do with that, but we don’t have new ones just to build right off the bat, so we have to look at the source of the problem,” he added.

“And the source of the problem is the Biden administration because they reversed policies that were in place that was limiting the flow,” Crenshaw continued. “OK, they reversed the Remain in Mexico policy, they reversed asylum cooperation agreements with the Northern Triangle countries, and they refuse to tackle the biggest issue.”
Crenshaw Doubles Down
“And the biggest issue is that we can’t legally hold migrant families or minors past 21 days, so we can’t adjudicate these claims,” he stated. “This would be the simplest fix, and it has to be a legislative fix. ”
“It has to come from Congress, and all we have to do is increase that number of days, increase the number of immigration judges, adjudicate these claims, make the process go faster. You know what that avoids?” Crenshaw said. “It avoids this catch and release program, which means that there’s less incentives to just jump across the border.”

“This stuff is easy to fix, and I think that’s why it’s so infuriating that the Democrats don’t want to. And you have to question their motives here,” he concluded. “Why don’t they want to? Well, they want more illegal immigration. OK, they like the crisis. That’s why they don’t want to solve it. There’s really no other way to explain this.”

Bingo for Rep. Crenshaw!
For the Left, the open border is not a crisis; it is an opportunity….to establish as one-party nation. Skip the Constitution. They intend to rule the USSA (United Socialist States of America).
I agree with Crenshaw.
It's correct to blame the surge at our southern border on Biden's administration. Trump was doing somethings to slow it down despite constant opposition from dems. However the republicans didn't help him enough. His first two years they had the House and Senate. Didn't do a dam thing to stop illegals.
It would be easy to turn this around. Go to war with the cartels. Build the rest of the wall. Re-institute Trumps other meaures. Then clean up the corruption in the countries in Central America….dream on. We can't even address our own corruption.
It's great to see someone take leadership on the preservation of America's borders and national identity thank you Congressman Crenshaw. If the Democrats and socialists believe this is such a big deal then where is Kamala? Has she been in an LV house of ill repute earning more campaign funds?
WE THE PEOPLE NEED TO DEMAND IMPEACH BIDEN AND HARRIS!
WE THE PEOPLE (aka SILENT MAJORITY) we’ve had countless opportunities to fixed the nightmare of having Biden & Harris and sadly we chose to give the DEMOCRATS what they expected of us, to REMAIN SILENT! Thus, making us equally complicit in the fraud perpetrated against United States Americans!
Isn’t it time you actually did something, took action?
I urge everyone who reads this to PICK UP THE PHONE and call your REP AND SENATORS in DC and DEMAND IMMEDIATE IMPEACHMENT OF BIDEN AND HARRIS.
BIDEN is completely MENTALLY UNFIT FOR OFFICE! Biden is guilty of 18 U.S. Code §2381 TREASON, 18 U.S. Code §2382 SEDITION, 18 U.S. Code §2384 Seditious Conspiracy Crimes against Humanity and Subversive Activities.
HARRIS is guilty of violating 18 US Code §2381 Treason, 18 US Code §2382 Misprision of Treason, 18US Code §2383 Rebellion or Insurrection, 18 US Code §2384 Seditious Conspiracy and 18 US CODE §2385 Advocating Overthrow of Government!
Democrats want to legalize anarchy and ban law and order!
Copy and paste this info into an E-Mail and send to friends & family asking them to make the calls, then forward on to their friends asking them to make the calls & forward on! WE NEED TO MAKE THIS GO VIRAL!

Nothing clever there, nor true. Most of these people racing toward our borders did not even start coming here until during the debates Biden and Harris said they would open the borders and welcome all to enter. Democrats did this for only one reason, VOTES. Biden is now allowing more drugs, criminals and terrorists in then have ever crossed our borders. They brag about how many they are catching, yet border guards in mass say they are catching a very small amount that are coming in, because they are tied up with the illegal immigrants. There are now many times over the backlog then there was. There are more displaced and separated families. There are many more children sleeping and not knowing where they will be or sleeping next, many times outside and on the ground. Democrats way of solving this embarrassing situation, wait months then send Harris, who did not really go to the border, nor ask any border officials how to correct this inhuman mess. Walk away, no see, no hear, no speak.
What you call a mess Americans call managing the border and not trying to sweep the illegality involved contrived by scheming political lawyers to let anyone and everyone in the USA as a matter of changing political demographics. And they do this while citing manmade pollution, overpopulation a most important issue? At the same time they seek to flood this nation with a voting group indebted to their masters in the DNC. San Fran recently lost many of its Target franchises a result of organized theft rings, and it costs about 35-50 million dollars a year to keep the streets hygienically clean from all the discarded user needles even in front of City Hall with LA not far behind. When you can come up with a good reason why Americans should fund multiple government programs to subsidize these people in the USA and solve that problem then maybe opening the floodgates might make some kind of socialist sense but the only cause to do so today is to grow the funding of the DNC so it can rebuild shyte holes like Portland it helped destroy in the first place, Chicago and parts of NYC that have become like mega cities on the lateral where government services are bound to fail and the drug cartels take over entire neighborhoods run by a "Don".
The point of view claiming that the Democrats "like" the border problems are bunk. The Trump administration really slowed procedures down at the border, creating unimaginable backlogs and separating families, and Democrats are left with cleaning up the mess. It's great that Democrats are back in power. It's a shame that we have to untangle the snarls in the wires the Republicans purposely put there.
Biden is on tape saying that he wants a stream of migrants and he wants the United States to have whites as the minority….. He is doing it.
The fentanyl tragedy is merely "collateral damage" in the Democrat march to permanent one-party rule.
This means that the mass smuggling of fentanyl – some of it mixed by smugglers – is also Biden's baby to deal with. Some of it gets mixed with prescription drugs to boot. Does Biden care? I think not.
We're being Balkanized, flooded with foreign invaders to displace and disenfranchise us Americans.
Crenshaw is correct ; these criminals we have as POTUS , V.POTUS & 7/8 of Congress INTENTIONALLY have been causing the border crisis for many years now , per their NWO agenda goals to DESTROY America . They aren't doing ANYTHING about it because THEY CAUSED it themselves ! ( along with their old NAZI criminal soros ! )
Actually the border crisis keeps people from seeing what they are really up. The border is just a cover so they can tear America down to nothing and the people are not any smarter for it. Look at the way they allow false news so that they have something to hide behind. If the American people don't stand up for what is ours we are going to lose it. Mark my words. A Democrat cannot be trusted any further then you can see them and that is even to far. Just check out the dancing Biden on most of the news pages. He thinks he is doing something but he's nothing but a puppet on a string. Dancing for his evil masters. These people Biden, Pelosi, AOC, Omar, Harris, Rashida Tlaib, Obama, Clinton, Al Gore, Maxine Waters, Cori Bush, Mark Milley, Fauci, Hunter Biden Al Sharpton, and Stacey Abrams just to name a few are pure evil. The devil did his bidding and they took the trap, now they want America to pay for their poor decision making. Lets get rid of all of them fast.
Duh. Of course the Dems like the border crisis. Politicians like Dan need to realize that the Washington Republicans are the ones who are late to the party. The rest of us understand the Democrats. It’s really quite simple: Democrats want permanent power, and anything that can help make that happen they will support. Border crisis? Check. All illegal immigration? Check. Racial division? Check. Crashing economy? Check. Anything that makes people feel unsafe and insecure will likely drive them to want more government, and that is the territory of the Democrats. Once everyone, and especially politicians, learn to look at every issue through the lens of the Democrats lust for permanent power, everything will become clear and the jig will be up. As a wise person once told me: once you see it, you can’t un-see it.
Through the American Canal CANZUK's United Kingdom would have direct sea-level seaway routes to the Pacific ports of its other constituent parts, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, westerly as well as the current more convoluted and vulnerable routes easterly through Suez. And the westerly routes to the Pacific would also give the UK direct sea-level routes to friendly nations arrayed against communist China, like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and India.
American Border Defense Forces must be prepared to apprehend illegal immigrants from throughout the United States and take them deep into other lands for release. They should mint gold and silver coin to help pay these and other expenses, as the insurgent communists in near-total control of the federal government will probably try to starve the states financially. They should plunder assets of enemy aliens, and seize tax remittances to the federal government until the communist insurgency at the federal level is quashed. Also cash and other property seized from drug lords could be used to finance the border defense effort. The American Border Defense Forces can dig the American Canal between Brownsville and San Diego, which will pay for itself in short order and block land invasion from south of the border. Substantial toll income from the American Canal will help finance the border defense effort. The American Canal will be a sea-level seaway like the Suez Canal, with no need for locks. Transit will be much faster than through Panama's canal with its 12 locks. Submarines can transit submerged. Fuel can be taken on at Brownsville, San Diego, and other nearby points.
THE AMERICAN CANAL WILL COMPOUND THE UTILITY OF AMERICAN AND ALLIED MILITARY ASSETS BY GREATLY FACILITATING THEIR DEPLOYMENT AND REDEPLOYMENT WORLD-WIDE.
Biden/Harris and their ilk are sucking aliens in as fast as they can and rubber-stamping them as citizens to swarm the polls in 2022 demanding to vote and increase the communist Democrat majorities in Congress. To avoid disaster in the mid-terms, the people – the sovereign – must reverse the migrant invasion.
The people must patrol and guard their states' borders. Not just states abutting other nations. Migrant invasion of any state is invasion of all.
US Constitution Article 1 Sec. 10: "No state shall . . . engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay." All states have been invaded and are being invaded, with the active complicity of communist pretenders in the federal government.
The states in cooperation with one another must patrol their borders and maintain 24/7 check points to detect and expel illegal aliens. Guard towers for surveillance and fire points, with on-site electric generators including wind turbines and solar cells to re-charge communication devices and others such as searchlights, lasers, tasers and drones. Tank traps, "dragon teeth", posts, fences, berms, moats, canals, improvised explosive devices, area denial non-lethal mechanisms and razor wire to inhibit and control foreign incursion and perhaps countermeasures by a federal government that's under near-total communist control.
To say that anyone likes the present border crises is stupid but he’s one of Machine Gun Girl’s crowd. What we need is an intelligently built border with a superior “catch and release” program. He’s just the flip side of AOC and her crowd. We need clear thinking on such issues.
