Have you heard the news? President Senile Kid-Sniffer issued an executive order on the border, action meant to seal the border when the number of illegal aliens (that’s what they are, not “migrants,” so stop using the language of the left) reaches an arbitrary total. Of course, what counts in that total is completely at the discretion of the President, thereby making it meaningless. But that’s the point, and other liberals are playing their role in this kabuki theater perfectly.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to think Joe Biden, or any Democrat for that matter, would do anything to secure the border. They started the world’s most self-destructive game of red rover deliberately in an attempt to flood the country with future Democrat voters, and they aren’t about to stop it now.
To say they don’t care about the border is an understatement. They don’t care about the death and destruction an open border has brought north, there’s a good chance those people weren’t going to vote for them anyway. They only junkie they have compassion for is Hunter Biden, and only through the election, otherwise they care about as much as you’d expect any enabler to care, which is not at all.
So, if it does nothing, why did Joe do what he did? Easy, so Democrats could complain about it.
Even though it’s toothless and won’t stop anything – the Biden gang is flying in 30,000 illegals daily, as well as not counting kids or anyone they feel has a case to make for asylum (which is none, legally, unless they’re from Mexico or Canada) – the truth is not being used to sell it. In fact, nothing is being used to sell it. Biden made a statement (if you saw it, it’s doubtful it would pass as a proof of life video in a hostage negotiation) and will likely not talk about it again, unless asked.
Why? Because, even though the “actions” he took are meaningless, they have to be sold to the 5-7 percent of swing voters who will decide this election as though they’re tough and will bring order to the chaos Democrats created.

With that in mind, Democrats of note have to whine about it to sell it to those people. Joe has to be seen as doing “something” that upsets the people who love open borders. His base knows it’s a lie, we know it’s a lie, but the people who don’t pay attention to the news might not, and that’s what it’s all about.
Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary under Barack Obama, Julian Castro, played this game on Twitter. He wrote Biden has “consistently avoided the issue of immigration when he could, seeing it as just a political liability. Totally playing defense only. The result? Trump and the Stephen Miller crowd moved the Overton window. Now Biden is taking actions that he campaigned against just four years ago.”
See, Joe has gone hardcore…just not in any way that actually does anything.
Castro continued, “Meanwhile, Biden has done little to move the country or the Congress toward immigration reform that would benefit Dreamers, their parents and other vulnerable immigrants, or even to revamp the legal immigration system to reflect the values we espouse as Democrats.”
The voters who are concerned with the mess at the border could easily read stories about Castro’s comments, or any of the other similar comments from leftists and think Biden has done something good. The media will ignore Republicans pointing out how the action literally does nothing, focusing on how radicals are upset. That will give the impression that the problem – one of the top issues for voters – has been addressed by the President.
People who weren’t going to vote for Joe because of him failure at the border will not be open to the prospect of supporting him. Not all, but some, and to win this election you only need some.
This is what we are up against, and what the GOP has to message against. It’s not enough to have Donald Trump say this, there needs to be an advertising campaign designed expressly for deprogramming the lies the left tells people. It can’t exaggerate, it has to just state exactly how it is.
When the truth is on your side, simply tell it. That’s all Republicans have to do on this issue. It’s the exact reason Democrats do not, and cannot, do the same.
