JOE BIDEN GETS EXPELLED TO IRELAND - TELLS THE IRISH HE'S GOING TO DO FOR THEM WHAT HE DID TO AMERICA ALONG THE NARCOMEX BORDER - Joe to the Rescue? Biden Touches Down in Belfast, Promising to ‘Preserve the Peace’ in Northern Ireland

During his State-of-the-State address in February, Governor Abbott made securing the border an emergency item. The designation allows the Texas Legislature to prioritize bills related to this and pass them more quickly. The governor asked the legislature to create a ten-year-minimum sentence for anyone caught smuggling in Texas. He also asked the Legislature to enhance the penalty for operating stash houses to a third-degree felony.

Finally, if human smuggling or stash house operations occur in an area under a disaster declaration, the governor asked for enhanced penalties.

American President Joe Biden, accompanied by his son Hunter and his sister Valerie, touched down at a military base outside Belfast on Tuesday evening as he prepares for a four-day tour of Nothern Ireland and the neighbouring Republic of Ireland to mark the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Peace agreement.

Mr Biden was met on the tarmac by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak after arriving in the country at around 9 pm local time at the Royal Air Force base in Aldergrove in County Antrim near Belfast.

The arrival of the president comes at a particularly contentious time for the UK province, with police in Northern Ireland raising the terror threat level being raised to “severe” last week, meaning that they believe an attack is highly likely.

On Monday, at an Irish republican parade in Londonderry, police were attacked by black bloc-clad youths with petrol bombs. On Tuesday, police discovered four suspected pipe bombs in a Derry cemetery, believed to have been intended to have been used during Monday’s parade.

The heightened tensions come amid continued disputes over the post-Brexit state of affairs in Northern Ireland, which has been subjected to draconian EU regulations and trade barriers imposed between it and the rest of the United Kingdom, angering the largely pro-unionist population of the region who have felt betrayed by London in allowing Brussels to maintain such control after voting for independence from the bloc.

Prior to boarding Air Force One, the 80-year-old Democrat said: “I look forward to marking the anniversary in Belfast, underscoring the US commitment to preserving peace and encouraging prosperity.”

It has been reported that Biden will attempt to try to convince the pro-Brexit Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) into coming back to the devolved local parliament at Stormont after nearly a year of no functioning local government over the DUPs refusal to give the post-Brexit trading regime legitimacy.

It remains to be seen, however, what sway the anti-Brexit American leader will have with the DUP, given his history of taking the European Union’s side during previous negotiations, and his history of emphasising his Irish heritage, while downplaying his English ancestry.

Even left-wing former Prime Minister Tony Blair, who was an original signatory to the Good Friday Agreement, issued a warning to Biden to tread carefully so that it does not appear that he was interfering with the internal domestic affairs of the United Kingdom.

“The Americans can play a real role but it’s something that you need to do carefully because there’s a difference between influencing and pressurising and the one tends to be positive and the other can be negative,” Blair said ahead of the trip.

The Good Friday Agreement is widely seen as a major accomplishment for the Democrat party, given former President Bill Clinton’s involvement in the negotiations. Therefore the preservation of the peace would likely be seen as necessary for President Joe Biden, given his large Irish-American voter base in unions across the “Rust Belt” of the United States. Biden will be followed next week by failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who also holds the honorary title of chancellor at Queen’s University Belfast.

On Wednesday, Mr Biden is expected to meet with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak after which he will give a speech at Ulster University in Belfast. Then he will cross the border into the Republic of Ireland, where he will visit counties Louth and Mayo, where he still has relatives, and a visit to the capital city of Dublin, where he will meet with both Irish President Michael D Higgins and Prime Minsiter Leo Varadkar before issuing an address to a joint session of the Irish parliament.

While Biden has vowed to flood the U.S. labor market with more foreign workers to compete against Americans for jobs, he has shied away from questions on whether he will eliminate tariffs on foreign imports that were imposed by Trump. Such elimination of tariffs would be a boon to multinational corporations that offshore their production and jobs overseas only to import their products back into the U.S. market, often with no penalties for doing so.

The Border: 10,000 Apprehensions in 48 Hours And those are just the people who got caught. April 10, 2023 by Robert Spencer 8 Comments 20 What was once known as the Southern border of the United States is essentially nonexistent in this time of Biden regime misrule, and so it was no surprise Wednesday when Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz tweeted some figures showing just how bad the border area has become: Past 48 Hours… – 10,070 Apprehensions – 52 lbs. of Fentanyl – 38 lbs. of Ecstasy – 11 lbs. of Meth – 11 lbs. of Cocaine – $48,000 Seized – 20 Firearms – 5 Stolen Vehicles Recovered – 5 Sex Offenders – 4 Warrants – 1 Gang Member Significant numbers for just 2 days! Indeed, and it was just business as usual for the border, although Ortiz didn’t mention the terrorists. It came to light last October that up to that point in 2022, the Border Patrol had caught at least 98 people at the border who are on terror watchlists. There is no indication that they’ve stopped coming since then. Terrorists can see what’s happening at the border as much as anyone else can; why shouldn’t they take advantage of the mess Old Joe has made? And those 98, of course, were just the ones who got caught. Fox News reported that “the number of migrant encounters at the U.S. southern border climbed to a record more than 227,000 during the month of September and more than 2.3 million for fiscal year 2022, according to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.” That data also shows that “there were 20 known or suspected terrorists arrested at the southern border in September, bringing the total terror watchlist arrests at the border for the fiscal year 2022 to 98. The number of terror watchlist arrests at the border for the last five years combined was 26.” What did Old Joe and his handlers say about this? Nothing, of course, because they weren’t challenged by the sycophantic Leftist propagandists we call “journalists.” And the administration had every reason to stonewall any inquiry, as nothing demonstrated the catastrophe that is the Biden regime’s handling of the border crisis more vividly than the entry of known terrorists into the United States. The terror risk involved in the open border has long been known. U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported as far back as Feb. 3, 2021 that “Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents arrested a group of 11 Iranian citizens who illegally crossed the border into the United States….Yuma Sector agents apprehended eight Iranian nationals in FY2020, compared to just 14 from all other border patrol sectors combined. So far in FY2021, Yuma Sector agents have apprehend [sic] 14 nationals from Iran.” Rep. John Katko (R-N.Y.) asserted in March 2021 that “individuals that they have on the watchlist for terrorism are now starting to exploit the southern border. We need to wake up.” Then in August 2021, former Border Patrol chief Rodney Scott warned that the Southern border was “a national security crisis,” with “TSDBs at a level we have never seen before. That’s a real threat.” In October, he said on Fox News that “we have terrorist threats we can’t get into in this type of a forum but they are real.” Yes, they are, and they’re entirely Biden’s handlers’ fault. Former Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan said Monday that border agents are “demoralized” with the border “wide open.” He added that “every aspect of our public health, safety, national security is being jeopardized.” Over 7,000 migrants cross the border every day as it is, and once Title 42, a Trump administration attempt to control the wave of migrants, is ended as Biden’s handlers plan to do next month, that number is expected to jump to 18,000 per day. Morgan observed that one group that is taking advantage of this is the drug cartels. “They know, because of this administration, our borders are wide open,” Morgan said. “We literally handed over operational control to the cartels. It’s way beyond the millions that have been smuggled in this country.” Not just terrorists, but drug cartels as well. The nightmare never ends. Make no mistake: this has all been done on purpose. The Biden administration, Morgan added, “opened our borders and intentionally created and facilitated a catastrophic crisis on the southwest border that we’ve never seen in our lifetime.” Why would they do such a thing? You know the answer. Morgan explained: “Their priorities [are] to get as many illegal aliens in this country because – it’s disgusting – but because they see a perceived political benefit.” The Left seems intent on destroying the country in pursuit of unchallenged political power within it. What kind of a country they’ll be ruling over once it is overrun with migrants and its economic power entirely outsourced or outpaced doesn’t seem to be a question that ever crosses their minds. How they’ll be able to pay for all their new welfare recipients once the American middle class is entirely taxed out of existence is also not a priority consideration for them. The only thing that matters is gaining and securing political power indefinitely. But this might easily become a Pyrrhic victory.
