Ohio Democrat: Biden ‘very independent’ on border, not pressured by progressives
The Hill ^ | 03/31/2024

Posted on 03/31/2024 9:58:08 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Rep. Greg Landsman (D-Ohio) brushed off accusations that progressives are influencing President Biden’s border policy on Sunday, describing the president as “very independent” on the issue.

The concerns were raised after Biden appeared to back off promises to use executive action to close the border, following mass criticism from progressives. The left wing of the Democratic Party has been critical of the president over his willingness to embrace hard-line immigration policy, which they argue is reminiscent of former President Trump.

"...willingness to embrace hard-line immigration policy"

WTH? Completely erasing the southern border, putting up "WELCOME EVERYBODY" signs, inviting the whole world to walk in, and paying NGOs to bring the world here is "hard-line immigration policy"? It is NO immigration policy. None whatsoever.

At a dinner party last night, a friend was discussing getting his Vietnamese fiancé to the USA legally. It will take her 17 months to be admitted. Everybody joked about sending her to Mexico and having her walk in.

What fever swamp has this guy been wandering around in? Biden is only “independent” in that he is so detached from the reality in his immediate vicinity, he cannot or will not incorporate those realities into whatever power of decision he has remaining. All these choices are made by someone unelected and unresponsive to public opinion, without accountability or even attribution.

“Deniable plausibility” ranks right up there with fraud and outright gaslighting, not merely lying, but never even acknowledging the problem exists.

(Save the Children)

I remember their food donation (?) commercials.

Anyways, decided to look it up.

Here’s what I just found (I mti get it hunting for OBL and Pakistani intelligence (ISI?) was certainly not our friend:

Expulsion from Pakistan

See also: CIA transnational health and economic activities

In July 2011, the Guardian uncovered a fake vaccination program by the CIA.[26] It then emerged that Dr. Shakil Afridi, the person organizing the CIA’s “vaccinations”, had claimed that he was a Save the Children employee. In May 2012, Save the Children’s country director for Pakistan, David Wright, revealed that the organization’s work had been badly disrupted ever since Afridi had made his claim, with medicines held up for long periods at airports, staff unable to get visas, and so forth. Wright also charged that the CIA had breached international humanitarian law and risked the safety of aid groups worldwide.[27] “It was a setback, no doubt,” said Dr. Elias Durry, the World Health Organization’s polio coordinator for Pakistan, a few months later.[28] Later that year, in September, it was reported that the Pakistani government had requested Save the Children’s foreign staff to leave the country,[29] In January 2013, the Deans of twelve top US schools of public health sent a letter to President Obama protesting against the entanglement of intelligence operations in public health campaigns. The letter describes the negative and lasting impacts of the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) use of a fake vaccination campaign in Pakistan during the hunt for Osama bin Laden in 2011, which exacerbated the already persistent public mistrust of vaccines in the country.[30]

Thought it was rather interesting - was Fauci involved in this one too, somehow?

Biden’s immigration policy: letting illegals stay in the country for 5-7 years with no hearing or deportation, welding the gates in the wall open, selling off the wall construction materials, suing Texas for enforcing the law, and flying illegals directly into the country..

Trump’s: Build the wall, deport as many as possible, stay in mexico policy. Use one of the 20 counsulates or 1 embassy in Mexico to apply for asylum.

The only immigration policy they want is to import dem voters and the funds to bribe them.
