GOP Lawmakers: Joe Biden’s Border Policies a ‘Super Spreader Event’
A group of 23 House Republicans has sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas demanding answers on how many border crossers are testing positive for the Chinese coronavirus and subsequently being released into the United States interior.
The letter, led by Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX), calls out President Joe Biden’s policies at the U.S.-Mexico border where thousands of border crossers and migrants are being released into the nation’s interior.
Only those enrolled in the Remain in Mexico program are tested for the coronavirus, while others are released, sometimes tested by local communities, and sent on their way regardless of their test results.
“There are reports that at least 100 migrants who tested positive for coronavirus have been released into the United States,” the letter states.
Reports last week confirmed that more than 100 border crossers released into the U.S. interior had tested positive for the coronavirus. Even after their positive result, the border crossers were free to continue traveling into the U.S.
The House Republicans said the restart of the Catch and Release program, in the midst of the pandemic, is “a guaranteed super spreader event.” They write:
Historical precedent indicates illegal border crossings may increase to over 100,000 per month this spring. Due to the continued need for social distancing, [DHS] facilities will quickly reach capacity. Even with efforts to social distance, reporting states that migrants are already being held in crowded spaces while being processed. [Emphasis added]
Coupled with the lack of coronavirus testing along the southern border, this is a guaranteed super spreader event. At the very least, all individuals encountered along our southern border must be tested for coronavirus and provided with personal protective equipment. [Emphasis added]
Among the questions asked of Mayorkas, the House Republicans want to know why border crossers are not being turned away under the Center for Disease Control’s Title 42 order that has helped stem the flow of illegal immigration to the U.S. by allowing federal officials to quickly return border crossers back to their native countries.
The lawmakers also want to know how many border crossers are being released into the U.S. interior and why, as well as how many border crossers are being released and eventually test positive for the coronavirus.
The signatories to the letter include:
- Michael Burgess (R-TX)
- Brian Babin (R-TX)
- Chip Roy (R-TX)
- Louie Gohmert (R-TX)
- Lance Gooden (R-TX)
- Ann Wagner (R-MO)

Letter to Mayorkas Re Title… by John Binder
Days ago, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) announced he was deploying the state’s National Guard and troops to high-risk areas of the U.S.-Mexico border.
“Texas supports legal immigration but will not be an accomplice to the open border policies that cause, rather than prevent, a humanitarian crisis in our state and endanger the lives of Texans,” Abbott wrote in a statement.
Title 42, cited in the lawmakers’ letter, has successfully expelled nearly 460,000 border crossers from the U.S. since March 2020. In the last four months, alone, between 62,000 to 65,000 border crossers have been expelled and deported monthly under Title 42.
As Breitbart News exclusively reported, the Biden administration is considering ending Title 42, which GOP lawmakers have previously said would invite a surge of illegal immigration.
Thanks to Biden’s ending the Remain in Mexico program and canceling a number of cooperative asylum agreements, federal officials released more than 800 border crossers into the U.S. in the first four days of this month, Breitbart News reported. Since February 19, DHS has released more than 1,100 Remain in Mexico migrants into the U.S.
Biden’s Catch and Release policy has proven unpopular with Americans. In a poll conducted last month of nearly 1,800 voters, 67 percent said border crossers should be returned to Mexico — as they were under the Remain in Mexico program — while just 33 percent said they should be released into the U.S. interior.

WATCH: Parade of Migrants Stream Across Border into Arizona
A video tweeted by U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) shows a steady stream of migrants marching into the U.S. from Mexico. The senator said the migrants are responding to “Joe Biden’s open border, catch and release policy.
“The tip of the iceberg near Yuma, AZ as immigrants begin to flood into the US responding to @JoeBiden’s open border, catch and release policy,” Senator Johnson tweeted. “How many have COVID?”

It is not clear how many migrants marched through before and after the video ran.
Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents teamed up with Yuma County Sheriff’s Office deputies last week to disrupt another human smuggling incident where they found 18 migrants packed in a human smuggling stash house.
The agents arrested the migrants and transported them to the Yuma Station for processing. In addition, the agents arrested 29-year-old Rodolfo Rodriguez, a U.S. citizen, in connection the stash house operation.

A criminal background investigation revealed Rodriguez has an extensive criminal history. His crimes include a felony for aggravated harassment, Yuma Sector officials stated.
Border Patrol agents arrested approximately 100,000 migrants in February who illegally crossed the U.S. border from Mexico, Breitbart Texas reported.

Surge in Illegal Immigrant Minors Prompts Health Crisis in U.S. Border Communities
A huge surge in illegal immigrant minors is prompting a health emergency on the southern border and surrounding communities, igniting “grave concern” among federal lawmakers who are calling on the Biden administration to “prevent the impeding catastrophe.” In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas more than a dozen members of congress who sit on various House committees—including civil rights, national security, and the environment—say they are particularly concerned that the influx could soon lead to a health crisis that may cause widespread COVID-19 infections and fatalities. Additionally, a Latino congressman from south Texas is urging the administration to “prevent further devastation of border communities” by addressing the “influx of Central American migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.”
The government classifies the young migrants as Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) and in January there was a 64% increase over the same one-month period last year, according to Border Patrol figures. The data shows that two busy Texas sectors—Big Bend and Del Rio—saw the biggest increase in UAC traffic over the same one-month period in 2020, 141% and 122% respectively. Under federal law the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) takes custody of UAC, identified as illegal immigrants under the age of 18, and must provide care for them. HHS funds and oversees around 170 state-licensed care facilities to house the minors when they arrive from foreign countries south of the border.
There are approximately 4,020 illegal alien minors in HHS care, according to recent agency figures. American taxpayers provide them with an array of services including classroom education, mental and medical health care, legal counsel, and a variety of recreational activities. The overwhelming majority of the migrants—72%—are not children but rather young adults or adolescents 15 to 17 years old, government records show. Most of the youths are from Guatemala and Honduras and 68% are male, which has tremendously boosted gang recruitment in this country. Federal authorities have for years confirmed that the nation’s most violent street gangs—including the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13)—recruit new members at U.S. shelters housing UAC.
Health issues have also been a serious concern long before COVID-19, when the Obama administration allowed tens of thousands of UAC to enter the U.S. Back in 2014, Judicial Watch reported that the hordes of illegal immigrant minors brought in serious diseases, including swine flu, dengue fever and possibly Ebola. At the time, a congressman who is also a medical doctor alerted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that the UAC were importing infectious diseases considered to be largely eradicated in this country. Four years later, the infamous Central American caravan posed an equally serious public health threat, bringing dangerous diseases such as extremely drug resistant strands of tuberculosis, dengue, and chikungunya. By 2019, the Border Patrol admitted it was getting slammed with illegal immigrants plagued by “serious illnesses,” including tuberculosis, influenza, and pneumonia. Federal agents disclosed at the time that they were referring 50 illegal aliens a day for urgent medical care.
COVID-19 only adds to the already dire situation. In their letter to Mayorkas the congressional delegation points out that the increasing number of UAC illegally crossing the border will soon overwhelm facilities in the middle of a global pandemic, forcing Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to release unlawfully present individuals into the U.S. “This surge also has the capability to cause a COVID-19 outbreak at ports of entry and other CBP facilities, which threatens the health of CBP personnel and could result in the temporary closures of ports of entry,” the legislators write. “Such closures would greatly impact commerce and hamper the United States’ economic recovery. The increase in illegal immigration at the southern border presents a risk not only to Border Patrol agents apprehending migrants who illegally cross the border, but also to those communities into which those individuals will relocate—likely leading to widespread COVID-19 infection and fatalities.”
In his plea to the administration, the Latino congressman from south Texas, Democrat Vicente Gonzalez, writes that migrant caravans approaching the southern border will “overwhelm our many unvaccinated” federal agents and “put our frontline workers at greater risk during the COVID-19 pandemic.” The lawmaker, in his second term, reminds the Biden administration that border communities in south Texas districts like the one he represents, continue to be devastated by the COVID-10 pandemic. “A disorderly rushing of our border is not acceptable,” Gonzalez writes.
Biden's latest executive order is his most frightening yet
The Democrats who now control Washington, D.C. are determined to change America's election laws to ensure that they never lose another election. The first salvo in this battle was the House's vote passing H.R. 1, which opens federal elections to all types of fraud and manipulation. On Sunday, Joe Biden added his bit to the effort by signing yet another executive order, this one ostensibly to enhance "voting rights" on the anniversary of the Selma protests in 1965. However, the order is drafted to allow the federal government to control political speech.
As with most of Biden's initiatives, it frames the power-grab in terms of race (emphasis mine):
The right to vote is the foundation of American democracy. Free and fair elections that reflect the will of the American people must be protected and defended. But many Americans, especially people of color, confront significant obstacles to exercising that fundamental right. These obstacles include difficulties with voter registration, lack of election information, and barriers to access at polling places. For generations, Black voters and other voters of color have faced discriminatory policies and other obstacles that disproportionally affect their communities.
Once again, the leftist premise for increasing opportunities for election fraud is the theory that Blacks lack the mental capacity to navigate the American system without the Democrat party at their side, supporting them. It's an amazingly offensive position, but, sadly, Democrats have conditioned Blacks for decades to believe in their own helplessness.
Having established the premise — Blacks are helpless — the edict sets out the solutions: making it easy to register to vote, vote by mail, and cast ballots; making online access to information easier; distributing voter registration and vote-by-mail forms; and helping people fill out the forms. The more worrisome one requires "soliciting and facilitating approved, nonpartisan third-party organizations and State officials to provide voter registration services on agency premises."
Color me unduly cynical, but I have a feeling that all the "approved, nonpartisan third-party organizations" are going to look remarkably like ACORN or the Southern Poverty Law Center. I heartily encourage conservatives to create "nonpartisan third-party organizations" and to get in line for approval. I suspect, though, that the process will be as hard for them as it was for Tea Party groups in 2012 to get the IRS to approve of them as non-profits.
The scariest thing about the executive order is its emphasis on "information." Through the document, the order empowers the federal government to control information:
"Agencies shall consider ways to expand citizens' opportunities to register to vote and to obtain information about, and participate in, the electoral process."
The agency is to consider "ways to provide relevant information in the course of activities or services that directly engage with the public — including through ... social media platforms[.]"
For Native Americans, the order establishes a "Steering Group to facilitate the sharing of information and best practices, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law[.]"
That may sound innocuous, but it ceases to do so if you double back to the policy statement in Section 2 (emphasis added):
It is the responsibility of the Federal Government to expand access to, and education about, voter registration and election information, and to combat misinformation, in order to enable all eligible Americans to participate in our democracy.
There's the magic phrase that says what all this emphasis on information is really about: the federal government will use its reach and power "to combat misinformation."
And what is "misinformation" in the Democrats' new political lexicon? It's anything with which the Democrats disagree. The federal government, through Biden, has just announced that it will put its thumb on the scale in all future elections, combatting "misinformation" by presenting its version of "information."
What Biden is proposing is unconstitutional, as is the case with many of his executive orders. They are often straightforward announcements that he will no longer abide by American law, especially regarding our southern border. Biden and his handlers are confident that the Supreme Court is so cowed by the court-packing threat that it will do nothing to slow the Democrats as they slowly, but surely, run the Constitution through a shredder.
Biden’s Border Brouhaha is Just the Start
I tell you what really frosts me about the Biden administration. It is that, one way or another, I am going to have to pay for its terminal stupidity. And I ain’t responsible.
Illegal immigration? Wow, who could have foreseen that the illegals would be swarming the border? Surely the Biden people are in touch with the activist groups that are distributing Biden Let Me In t-shirts. And, by the way, we military history readers know that armies of migrants heading across Central America for the U.S. border don’t feed themselves. They aren’t feeding themselves “off the land” as armies from Xenophon’s Ten Thousand to Sherman’s “bummers” have done down the ages. Someone is organizing the feeding of these people, and someone is paying for it. I wonder who? Oh, so now Biden wants help from the Mexican president.
Oh, I get it. Somehow, somewhere, some Activist Second Class called Clarence needs to get his activist wings on the open-border front. But whatabout the current People of Color citizens? Do not you activists -- “allies” every one -- care that the unskilled migrants you bring into the country are competing with historically marginalized oppressed peoples for jobs? And that they lower the wage level, and that if you raise the minimum wage it will just distort the labor market more and make everyone from the white working class on down more despairing?
Whatabout the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion stimulus bill? Just this week I read how Warren Buffett’s index of stock market valuation to GDP is at an all-time high. Golly, Chuck and Nancy, what could go wrong with cranking up the debt some more? Remember when Sen. Everett Dirksen (R-IL) did not apparently say “a billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you are talking about real money.” Forget billions: now it’s trillions!
Oh, I get it. All over the country there are Democratic voters and special interests and blue states that are owed their loot and plunder. Vikings gotta go a-viking. Only this time, I predict, we won’t just get a painfully slow recovery from the Crash of 2008, but something worse. In your Trump hatred you Dems may not remember, but the economy was showing signs of overheating back in 2019, with a reverse yield curve developing in early March. Then, in September 2019, Trump jawboned the Fed into lowering interest rates and it was Katy bar the door once COVID was announced.
Oh, and house prices are now 37.6 percent above their April 2007 peak and have basically spent the last year rocketing into the stratosphere. Freddie Mac’s 30-year fixed rate mortgage index has jumped from 2.73 percent to 3.04 percent just in the last three weeks. Golly, Secretary Yellen at the Treasury, what could go wrong?
Inflation? Stagflation? Oh, the Places You’ll Go!
And when things do go wrong, Fed chief Jerome Powell, are you ready? Have you reread Walter Bagehot’s Lombard Street this month and reminded yourself that “lender of last resort” means Lender of Last Resort and you don’t shy at the second fence like apprentice jockey Little Ben Bernanke did in 2008?
But let’s stop talking about me, a well-provided-for OK Boomer. Whatabout the rest of the country?
Do you Dems not understand that unlimited immigration hurts the undereducated and underskilled PoCs the most?
Do you Dems not understand that the minimum wage prices undereducated and underskilled PoCs onto the unemployment line?
Do you Dems not understand that social insurance taxes combined with a hands-off attitude towards illegal migrant labor hurts the PoCs, because legal employees have to pay payroll taxes and their employers have to pay a variety of taxes from unemployment to workers’ comp., and the off-the-books employers and employees do not?
Do you Dems not understand that the subsidization of home mortgages that continues today despite the lesson of 2008 puts money in the pocket of OK Boomers like me and screws the young’uns and the PoCs to the wall? And if you do not understand that, then why not?
And do you Dems not understand that the subsidization of college tuition with student loans puts money in the pocket of educated-class elites and digs it out of the pockets of middle-income youngsters and their middle-income parents.
And do you Dems not understand that wokery like “decolonizing math” means that white Beckys go buy homeschool math books for their children and PoC children get screwed?
I’m halfway through Jordan B. Peterson’s new book Beyond Order, and he writes that on the book tour for 12 Rules one subject made the audience really go quiet and pay attention: Responsibility.
I wonder whether our liberal friends will accept responsibility as things start to go wrong: border chaos today, and maybe “stagflation” by 2022.
Because “responsibility” seems to resonate with people in America.

Brain Freeze: Biden Struggles to Name His Secretary of Defense During Speech
President Joe Biden struggled to name of his Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin, during an event marking International Women’s Day at the White House on Monday.
Biden spoke at a White House event highlighting his nomination of two women General Officers for positions as four-star Combatant Commanders — Air Force Gen. Jacqueline Van Ovost and Army Lt. Gen. Laura Richardson.
“So I want to thank you both, and I want to thank the sec… the former general, I keep calling him general but my… my, uh… the guy who runs that outfit over there,” Biden said as he wrapped up his speech.
Austin served as a general in the Army and was nominated by Biden to be the first black Secretary of Defense.
Biden concluded, “I want to make sure we thank the secretary for all he’s done to try to implement what we just talked about.”
Austin, who was present for the event, spoke about Biden’s and Vice President Kamala Harris’s celebration of the historic nominations.
“Both of you lead by example, and the example that you set in all things is one of inclusiveness,” Austin said, praising Biden and Harris. “You know that diversity of our nation makes us stronger, and that diversity in our military ranks makes us better at defending the American people.”
Brain Freeze: Joe Biden Struggles While Touting His $1.9 Trillion Spending Plan
President Joe Biden suffered another brain freeze Saturday, trailing off and appearing to re-read a line from his remarks on a spending bill.
The candidate who received the most votes ever for president was touting the “American Rescue Plan,” the $1.9 trillion coronavirus spending bill passed by the Senate over the weekend.

“The vast majority of economists — left, right, and center — from Wall Street to the, to the, private e—, private, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, economic, uh, uh, polling, uh, initiatives,” Biden stammered.
“The economists, as I said, left, right, and center,” he continued, rereading his speech.
Last week, Biden appeared to have an unscripted moment when he asked for questions after speaking to members of the House Democrat caucus.

The president appeared to look off-camera for direction before his image was replaced with a graphic of the White House. His final comment was deleted from the video of the event posted to the White House YouTube page.
Breitbart News reported Biden has not held a solo press conference in the 45+ days he has been president, breaking a 100-year record.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed Biden would hold one “before the end of the month.”

Schweizer: ‘It’s Going to Be Business as Usual’ for Hunter’s Dealings
Video:
On Wednesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer said he reads President Biden’s statements about his son Hunter’s deals as a declaration that “it’s going to be business as usual in the Biden administration as far as these deals are concerned.”
Schweizer said, “Joe Biden has said there are going to be no sketchy overseas deals during his second term. Here’s the problem: He does not believe that the early deals that Hunter was involved in, the China deal, Burisma, he’s never described those as sketchy. So, I read that as saying, it’s going to be business as usual in the Biden administration as far as these deals are concerned.”

Fitton: America Needs to Know the Truth About Biden Family’s Corruption

The Biden scandals didn’t disappear when Joe Biden entered the Oval Office, as I wrote in this op-ed for The Washington Times:
A president takes office amidst charges of family corruption and shady business dealings with a country connected to interfering in the very election that put him in the White House. Sound familiar?
The false narrative that Democrats concocted to hobble the Trump administration four years ago is now the real deal with Joe Biden and his family. And unlike President Trump, who faced unprecedented institutional resistance and Deep State resistance, President Biden can likely count on the Justice Department and the media to allow him to escape meaningful scrutiny.
Judicial Watch recently started a petition at Change.org asking the Department of Justice immediately to appoint a special counsel to investigate Biden family dealings in China, Ukraine and other countries. There is substantial evidence, from documents and witness statements, that the Biden family, including President Joe Biden, may have been involved in criminal activity with foreign entities tied to Ukraine and China. In just a few days the petition has garnered nearly 200,000 signatures.
Judicial Watch uncovered documents that show even as far back as the Obama administration Russia-linked media in Ukraine were “trolling” Joe Biden over “his son’s business.” Mr. Biden’s son Hunter has acknowledged that he is the target of an FBI criminal investigation. Any investigation should involve alleged money laundering, influence peddling and tax violations among other shady activities.
A special counsel is required because the Justice Department and its FBI are conflicted in investigating any matters that could implicate the president and/or his immediate family in criminal activity. As Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas said recently, “if there were ever circumstances that create a conflict of interest and call for a special counsel, that’s here.” Justice Department regulations that were abused to appoint a special counsel to harass then-President Trump actually do fairly apply to the Biden situation. A special counsel is required by Justice regulations when:
(a) That investigation or prosecution of that person or matter by a United States Attorney’s Office or litigating Division of the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances; and
(b) That under the circumstances, it would be in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to assume responsibility for the matter.
The matter is urgent. Americans just learned that communist China was actively involved in the 2020 presidential election. Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, in a letter transmitted to Congress, concluded that “based on all available sources of intelligence, with definitions consistently applied, and reached independent of political considerations or undue pressure — that the People’s Republic of China sought to influence the 2020 U.S. federal elections.”
Chinese efforts to interfere in the 2020 election might have been better known before election days but for Deep State resistance. Intelligence Community Ombudsman Barry Zulauf found that CIA analysts were reluctant to reveal China’s malign actions because they were opposed to the Trump administration, and were “saying in effect, I don’t want our intelligence used to support those policies.” In fact, “strong efforts” were made last summer to suppress analysts who wanted to expose the full range of Chinese efforts to swing the election to Mr. Biden.
We are already seeing China indirectly benefitting from Biden policies. Cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline will divert Canadian oil west to the petroleum-hungry People’s Republic. Re-entering the Paris Climate Agreement gives political cover to China’s excessively polluting dirty coal industry, in which Hunter Biden is heavily invested. Mr. Biden’s State Department on Day One removed a page on its web site that contained a comprehensive assessment of the threats China poses to the U.S. and its allies, and an emboldened Beijing slapped outrageous sanctions on outgoing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and 27 other former Trump officials. Does China have corrupt leverage over President Biden?
Given the years of investigations costing millions of dollars to delve into fake Russia collusion accusations against Trump world, the American people deserve to know what China was up to with Joe Biden, especially when Beijing had already shelled out millions of dollars to Biden family members — including millions in set-asides for “the big guy.” What else is on that infamous Hunter Biden laptop? The conflicted Biden Justice Department cannot be trusted to engage in any meaningful oversight on this issue. We need a special counsel now.
