Deception Is Their Game

The Quote Below—More Misinformation from the Media

“In anticipation of a surge of migrants, President Joe Biden is temporarily deploying another 1,500 active-duty troops to the US-Mexico border days before ending a controversial Trump-era border policy that has allowed his administration to rapidly expel migrants en masse.

“Set to expire May 11, the so-called Title 42 policy was first implemented by former President Donald Trump on dubious grounds that migrants could be turned away to help prevent the spread of Covid-19. But the policy has continued for more than two years under Biden, has led to lawsuits and the resignation of a senior administration official , and has become a political flashpoint on the left.

“Now, as Title 42 ends, the new troops will be stationed for 90 days alongside the 2,500 military personnel already at the border. Some Democrats have condemned Biden’s decision to maintain the policy for so long and to further militarize the border. But others — particularly those in purple states who could face tough reelection fights — have backed the president’s strategy, which is designed to protect him from right-wing attacks as he runs for reelection.

“Immigrant advocates have seen the deployment as evidence that the Biden administration isn’t sufficiently concerned about the fate of migrants seeking protection at the border. ‘Our border is militarized enough,’ said Marisa Limón Garza, executive director of Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center. ‘Additional military presence aggravates the tension as people attempt to seek asylum and find avenues to express their fears. Instead of spending money on troops, the Biden administration should redirect it to border communities and NGOs working on the ground. . . .”— Why Biden Is Deploying More Troops to the Southern Border, Nicole Narea, Vice. 5/3/23 [Link]

Fact Check of Above Quote: This article by Nicole Narea would have us believe that the Biden Administration is hard-nosed about the border. Of course, nothing could be farther from the truth. The relentless record-breaking surge of illegal aliens across the border is proof enough of that point. The response of the administration and its supportive media is to tell Americans: “It may look bad, but don’t believe your lying eyes.” To that end, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas keeps a straight face when he claims that the border is “secure.”

The aim of this deception, it seems, is to prevent a public backlash against the de facto erasure of our southern border. With the public diverted and pacified, this erasure can continue without interruption. Thus, Narea tells us that Biden kept Donald Trump’s Title 42 in place for two years. She doesn’t reveal that he tried to get rid of it after the first year but couldn’t because of court rulings. Throughout, Biden used it sparingly, mainly to give the impression that he’s trying to control the border. .

As for the troops, Narea doesn’t reveal that they aren’t there to make arrests or deter illegal aliens in any way. No, they are only there to do paperwork and related duties to help move illegal aliens into the U.S. That after all is the goal of Mayorkas who wants to make the flow of aliens “orderly and legal” while he makes no mention of stopping it. Once again, it helps to prevent a backlash if you can make an invasion look “orderly and legal.”

This is not the first time illegal alien advocates have employed deception to such a degree. Another was the claim made during the Obama Administration that Obama was deporting record numbers of illegal aliens. That wasn’t true. The administration was padding the number of deportations by inappropriately adding expulsions from the border to the total. The purpose of this media-promoted deceit was to make the major amnesty that Obama wanted to pass more palatable.

Humorously, a number of illegal alien advocates weren’t clued into the propaganda and furiously attacked Obama. Some even denounced him as the “deporter-in-chief.” To pacify these critics, Obama admitted that the deportation figures were a “little deceptive.” With illegal alien advocates, deception is the name of the game.
