Biden Criticized For Trying To Make This Comparison…

By

(RepublicanWire.org) – President Joe Biden was resoundingly criticized for equating illegal border crossers at U.S. border to Jews escaping Nazi Germany.

When a reporter asked if he believes migration is a human right, the president Thursday was quick to compare the situation at the border to the Holocaust. 

“Well, I think it is a human right if your family is being persecuted,” Biden responded. “I thought it was a human right for, you know, Jews in Germany to be able to go — to get to escape and get help where they could.”

Americans on Twitter noted illegal migrants are not innocent victims like “Jews in Germany” during World War II and the Holocaust.

“Biden just compared illegal aliens — lawbreakers who have been found to be terrorists, drug dealers, and bad actors — to Jews fleeing Germany during the Holocaust,” Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., tweeted Thursday. “Not even remotely the same situation.

“This kind of mindset prevents us from legitimately securing our border.”

Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., tweeted Thursday that Biden’s “shameful” remark was “out of touch.”

“Border patrol has apprehended terrorists, cartels, drug smugglers, and human traffickers at the border,” Tenney wrote. “Biden’s disgusting comparison between his illegal immigration surge and Jews fleeing Nazi Germany is shameful and out of touch.”

Conservative lawyer Mark Levin’s Twitter account also issued a rebuke Friday.

“What a disgusting and awful statement from this ignoramus, and the corrupt media are silent,” the tweet read.

Former Trump administration staffer Stephen Miller was once classified by the liberal media as a “white nationalist,” according to CNN, but he too noted the bad look of Biden’s Holocaust comparison.

“Comparing Haitians leaving Haiti or Nicaraguans leaving Nicaragua to Jews fleeing violent extermination from Nazi Germany is both an outrageous minimization of the Holocaust and a vile slander of Latin American nations,” former Trump administration staffer Stephen Miller tweeted Thursday.

“Biden will say or do anything to expand illegal immigration.”

Joel M. Petlin tweeted, “There are many comparisons the President can make to illustrate the need to help solve the southern border crisis.”

“The comparison with Jews fleeing deportation to Nazi death camps is not an appropriate one.”

” With all the misinformation, we don’t need Holocaust minimization now.”

Mayorkas Contradicts Himself…

By

(RepublicanWire.org) – During a Senate hearing on Thursday, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas appeared to change his tune when it comes to the southern border after saying earlier in the week that it is secure.

The secretary’s responses on Thursday were a change from what he told a House committee on Tuesday. When asked by Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., if the southern border is secure, Mayorkas said, “Yes, and we are working day in and day out to enhance security, congressman.”

Mayorkas the same series of questions the head of Border Patrol was asked by Florida officials earlier in the year, the first of which being whether the southern border is in a state of crisis.

“The entire hemisphere is suffering a migration crisis,” Mayorkas said. “We are seeing an unprecedented movement of people from country to country. It is not restricted to the southern border.”

The secretary cited “unprecedented” movement of people out of Venezuela, with many currently situated in Colombia.

Portman, not interested in Colombia or Venezuela for the purposes of the meeting, repeated his question about whether there is a crisis at the border.

“We are seeing a significant challenge at the southern border, as we are seeing it throughout the hemisphere,” Mayorkas said.

Portman’s next question was about whether there is an unprecedented number of migrants crossing the border, and Mayorkas confirmed that this past year it has been “the highest on record.”

Later in the hearing, Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., challenged Mayorkas to provide some information about what the Biden administration plans to do about an expected increase of migrants crossing the border when the Title 42 public health order is no longer in place to allow swift deportation of illegal immigrants from countries affected by COVID-19.

“Secretary Mayorkas, you and I have talked about Title 42 for about 18 months, and I’ve asked you the question, what happens when Title 42 goes away, and for 18 months you’ve said we’re working on it,” Lankford said. The Republican then pointed to the recent court order calling for Title 42 to be lifted, after the Biden administration had previously failed to lift it on its own.

“But we’re still waiting to try to figure out what happens now and how many are about to cross the border,” Lankford continued. “What’s the plan for dealing with this massive migration, illegal immigration coming now post Title 42?”

Mayorkas responded by saying the administration’s plan remains the same as it was in April, and that they “have indeed been executing on the plan.” The secretary then briefly outlined a six-pronged approach that includes a surge of resources — personnel, technology, transportation and more — to the border; increasing the processing efficiency of Customs and Border Protection; increasing the consequences for entering the country illegally; strengthening nonprofit organizations and police at the local and state levels; targeting smuggling operations; and working with other countries to the south “to deter irregular migration.”

Retired ICE director, Tom Homan, joined Brian Kilmeade on “Fox &Friends” earlier in the week, and revealed what is really happening at the border.
