House Speaker Kevin McCarthy ripped President Joe Biden over the migrant crisis that’s overwhelmed New York City, claiming the commander-in-chief has “destroyed our borders.”
In an interview Sunday with John Catsimatidis on WABC 770 AM’s The Cats Roundtable, McCarthy said New York’s migrant crisis is a prime example of the devastation caused by a lax border and immigration policy.
“The other major factor Biden has done is destroy our borders,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said.
“New York is a long way from the Mexican border. It’s closer to the Canadian border. But you’re seeing the problems, the affecting challenges here.”
McCarthy also pointed to a CNN report that smugglers who passed through the border having ties to ISIS — and demanded the White House brief Congress about the border crisis.
He said the report surfacing ahead of of the 22nd anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks was particularly chilling.
“I’m requesting all Members of Congress get a classified briefing on the chaos at our southern border. With record apprehensions of people on the terrorist watchlist — including some tied to ISIS — all Americans should be deeply concerned that terrorists can just walk into our country,” the House speaker said in a separate statement on X, formerly known as Twitter and linking to McCarthy’s interview on Sirius radio. --->READ MORE HERE

In the Biden White House, illegal immigration is simply politics: The politics of broader electoral viability, the politics of future voting demographics, the politics of appeasing the base, and most recently, the politics of retribution. This latest phase entered the scene this week, with the administration’s reported plan to force the millions of illegal immigrants streaming over the border to remain in Texas.
But the politics goes back to the beginning when the former vice president was sharing a debate stage with the next generation of Democrat leaders. His old boss had put a boil under the long-simmering issue with his extra-congressional amnesty for “dreamers.” President Barack Obama empowered radical immigration activists who would eventually shout him down in his own White House — and push the party’s national slate hard to the left. By the time of the 2020 primaries, Joe Biden alone stood against all of their wildest reforms, including decriminalizing illegal crossings and abolishing Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Though he was old, noticeably slowing down, and had been repeatedly passed over by President Barack Obama and the rest of the poobahs, party leadership knew they needed to play on more centrist positions to compete in the general election. Aged and unwanted would take a backseat to hard power: Joe Biden was their man.
Of course, expanding third-world immigration had long been part of the Democrats’ plan. Decades before Tucker Carlson was excoriated for pointing it out, Ruy Teixeira and John Judis’s smash book, The Emerging Democratic Majority, listed the relative rise of immigrant America as one of the keys to the kingdom. Clinton strategist James Carville’s follow-up, 40 More Years—How Democrats Will Rule the Next Generation, took a sharp point and blunted it into a club. Carville’s thesis, that “Demographic change will keep swelling the Democratic ranks until Republicans have little choice but to surrender,” Teixeira lamented in 2020, “is a narrative I know well, for it is based on a bowdlerization of my own work.”
By the election of President Donald Trump, Teixeira had grown dismayed with how Democrats had treated his theory, betraying the white working-class voters he believed their coalition still required in the name of newcomers and illegals.
For the broader party, however, it’s too late for repentance (amply demonstrated on the primary debate stage in 2020). The left worked hard to establish unfettered immigration as a moral and political imperative — a necessary badge for the good progressive. Neither cartel-run border nor human slavery nor the deadly narcotics that come with it can dissuade from this. Amongst the Democratic faithful, the thoroughly British foundations of the United States have been swept away by a new creation myth, written by poet Emma Lazarus a full century after the official end of the American Revolution. For the liberal base, illegal immigration had become a moral-must –and any Democratic president hoping for re-election better toe the line. --->READ MORE HERE
