Abraham Lincoln said that an “electric cord” connects all our waves of immigrant generations to the founding principles of human equality and republican government. Commitment to these principles, not blood and soil, makes people Americans. www.uvu.edu/ccs/docs/lin...

Right. The entire crux of the article is migrants coming across the southern border and mentioning Afghan refugees in this context is a huge non-sequitur. Especially since the program existed before Biden.

3) It’s possible that the Biden WH didn’t respond to it with any urgency for the same reason John Kerry didn’t respond to Swiftboating until it was too late: they just couldn’t believe such a nakedly cynical and cruel strategy could work, so why bother?

Couple of takeaways:

1) Because Trump’s “solutions” had been so comically cruel and/or dumb the Biden WH ignored that there was actually a problem, at least politically.

2) The Texas and Florida campaign of busing migrants to “blue cities” was incredibly successful.

Always Remember: The President serves at the pleasure of Congress and not the other way around. It is the most powerful branch and if the federal government sucks, it’s the fault of the Congress and all the members in there.
