The cure may be painful, but it’s the cancer—unchecked borders, foreign appeasement, DEI overreach, and green delusions—that’s killing the patient.
Chemotherapy can be a life-saving though sometimes toxic effort to eliminate lethal cancer cells before they kill the patient. As such, it can serve as a bitter metaphor for the often-controversial efforts of the Trump administration to undo the metastasizing damage caused by the Biden administration. The left and the media, however, wish to convince America that the remedy for four years of either catastrophe is worse than the catastrophe itself.
Take the border. It was literally destroyed over the last four years. After welcoming in some three million illegal aliens per year—none with legal permission, health audits, or criminal background checks—there was no sign that the then-current or a second Biden administration was ever going to stop radically altering the demography of the U.S.
It was apparently not enough for Biden and his puppeteers that there were a record 50-million-plus foreign-born U.S. residents, comprising nearly 16 percent of the population, among them likely more than 30 million illegal aliens. What number would have been sufficient for a putative eight-year Biden administration—40, 50, or 70 million illegal aliens?
How could any subsequent lawful administration ever undo such nihilism? Would anyone try to round up 500,000 likely criminal aliens, house by house?
Ferret out violent illegal aliens from sanctuary cities, our modern version of nullificationist Confederate states defying federal law?
How does one even find 12 million people illegally admitted under Biden?
Did the left assume that the optics of just letting in millions of impoverished illegal aliens were at least better than any later effort to round them up?
After all, fueling the lawlessness only required passivity, but restoring lawfulness mandated arrest and occasionally force.
The media did not cover the rapes, murders, and assaults of illegal aliens. Nor did it care about poor American citizens vying for swamped social services amid the illegal flood of illegal aliens. It fixated only on the unpopular chemotherapeutic task of belatedly enforcing the law, securing the border, and deporting the illegal entrants.
It was likewise easy to allow the cancer of appeasement and laxity to spread abroad. That was an effortless matter of dropping sanctions to beg theocratic and terrorist Iran to reenter the “Iran Deal.” Or asleep-at-the-wheel appeasement meant a quick skedaddle from Afghanistan, without worry about the mayhem, chaos, and billions of dollars of weapons abandoned to the Taliban—or the signals it sent to Vladimir Putin or communist China.
Joe Biden nonchalantly claimed the decision to resist a Putin invasion of Ukraine hinged only on whether it was a mere “minor” attack. And it was far easier to mouth a bombastic and empty “Don’t” to Putin’s planned aggressions than to craft a real strategy to deter him.
In contrast, the chemotherapy needed to kill the cancer of lost deterrence proved hard, painful, and dangerous. Sticking by democratic Israel as the world piled on against it was not easy. Bombing the Iranian nuclear infrastructure would incur domestic hysteria. Trying to engage, cajole, and threaten Putin to stop the killing in Ukraine might threaten a wider war amid nuclear threats. --->READ MORE HERE
