Rasmussen reported this yesterday: "As Congress and President Joe Biden work to negotiate border security legislation, voters overwhelmingly view the situation at America’s southern border as an invasion."
I would be one of the "nearly two-thirds of voters who see it as an invasion."
President Biden is now asking Congress for $14 billion to "secure" the border.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is calling out his deception.
Be informed, not misled.
A new national survey by Rasmussen Reports and The National Pulse finds that 65% of Likely U.S. Voters believe it is accurate to describe the current situation with migrants at the border with Mexico as an “invasion” of the United States, including 43% who say such a description is Very Accurate. Thirty-one percent (31%) disagree, including 15% who think it’s Not At All Accurate to call the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border an invasion.
Rasmussen says, "House Speaker Mike Johnson led a group of Republican congress members visiting the border in Texas last week, pressuring Biden and the Democrat-controlled Senate to agree to a new border security bill. Seventy percent (70%) of voters consider border security a vital national security interest for the United States these days, while 17% disagree and 13% are not sure."
Seventy-two percent (72%) believe the current situation at the U.S.-Mexico border is a crisis, while 20% don’t think so.
The Biden Administration is apparently among the 20%.
Democrats and their media allies are pressuring Republican leaders to endorse a $14 billion slush fund that would hide President Joe Biden’s migration flood during the 2024 election campaign.
“They ought to give me the money — I need to protect the border,” Biden told reporters on Jan. 2 about his “Emergency Supplemental” funding request.
The president actually wants the money to hide the crises at the border, not "protect" it, according to the Speaker of the House and other Republicans in Congress.
Speaker Mike Johnson and other GOP leaders say the funding will be used to accelerate — not block — the inflow of Biden’s poor economic migrants during the 2024 campaign year.
“What the White House is proposing is more money to process and allow more illegals into the country,” Johnson told CNN host Jake Tapper on January 3. “We need to do the opposite of that.”
The funding fight is hidden from the public under the media’s deceptive coverage of Senate negotiations on border reforms and dramatic demands for aid to embattled Ukraine and Israel. Those negotiations have stalled amid the Democrats’ determination to protect their “parole” backdoor at the border, forcing the Democrats to step up their demands for the $14 billion.
In August, Breitbart News detailed the funding request, which includes at least $5.3 billion to expand migration.
Breitbart News said Saturday, "In his first three years, Biden and his deputies have spent billions of Americans’ taxes to import — not exclude — at least six million migrants into the United States."
"The funds — and the requested authority to transfer yet more funds — are intended to operate the network of quasi-government non-profits that help transport and shelter migrants into many cities around the nation. The request even asks for $800 million to operate new 'Safe Mobility Offices' in Ecuador and other countries that are intended to help more migrants reach the U.S. border," they explain.
Jessica Vaughn, founder of the Immigration Accountability Project, says the $14 billion bill is intended to quietly smuggle 2024 migrants through the country and to pay off cooperation by Democrat-run cities.
The requested billions are not enough to conceal Biden’s migrant flood from Americans in 2024, she added:
There’s not enough money, even in the $14 billion … with the numbers that are coming over right now. … People are seeing it, and they’re gonna keep seeing it. They’re going to see it in the schools. They’re going to see it in their emergency rooms, they’re going to see it in their housing costs. They’re going to see it everywhere.
Their children are going to come home and talk about all the foreign languages being spoken. And if they’re, you know, if they happen to live in a suburban neighborhood and the house next door is rented out to four different families who are living there at the same time, they’re going to see that too.
“I think it’s going to have a huge impact on suburban America,” she said.
The damage from Biden’s migration is also being felt in small towns.
The Washington Post has joined the chorus demanding that Republicans give the money to the president so he can "fix" the border problem.
Takeaway
Fortunately, many GOP leaders understand how Biden and his deputies will use the money.
“When we looked at this emergency supplemental … [we found it] continues to facilitate the mass migration that we see across our border,” Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) told a December 7 press conference. “It was yet more of a magnet to draw more and more people here!”
“Giving the Biden Admin more money to fuel its disastrous open-borders resettlement operation is insanity,” said Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN). “It would worsen the border crisis, not stop it,” he tweeted on October 20.
The funding will “offer ZERO actual border security while providing more money to process more people … & continue to rack up mountains of debt,” said Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX).
“We’re in serious, serious, dire straits as a nation and we have to address those things seriously,” Speaker Johnson told CNN's Jake Tapper.
I recently wrote a Faith and Freedom Daily blog that explains the biblical position on open border policies. If you have not read it, I encourage you to do so.
