Following is John Hinderaker’s latest commentary from powerlineblog.com. It describes, in detail, how the Biden administration has flown – yes, flown – hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens into the country, for distribution (politically strategic distribution, no doubt) around the country.
Everyone knows that Joe Biden has deliberately encouraged seven or eight million illegals to cross our southern border during his administration. This is the most treacherous act by a president since Democrat James Buchanan shipped war materiel to the South, in hopes that it would be used thereafter by secessionist rebels. Assuming that historical nugget is correct.
But there is no doubt about Biden’s treachery, and the Center for Immigration Studies points out that, for hundreds of thousands, there is no need to walk across the border. The Biden Administration is flying them in:
President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) refuses to publicly identify the dozens of U.S. international airports for which it has approved direct flights from abroad for certain inadmissible aliens. At least 386,000 migrants through February have been allowed to fly to interior U.S. airports as part of a legally dubious admissions program the administration launched in October 2022. The rationale for the program is to “reduce the number of individuals crossing unlawfully” over the southern border — by flying them over it directly into the interior and then releasing them on parole.
Great idea! Great idea, that is, if you want to render our immigration laws a nullity and destroy our country.
It is ironic that leftists have gone crazy over a few busloads of illegals who have been sent (at their request or with their consent) to places like New York City and Martha’s Vineyard by Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott. Joe Biden’s distribution of illegals into interior America dwarfs theirs by orders of magnitude:
This early evidence suggests that a great many of these inadmissible alien passengers, probably a majority, initially land at international airports in Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’s Florida. In fact, Florida turns out to be the top landing and U.S. customs processing zone for this direct-flights parole-and-release program, tallying at nearly 326,000 of the initial arrivals from inception through February.
Lesser numbers also are landing in the regions of Houston, New York, both northern and southern California, and the Washington, D.C., area, the data analysis reveals. But the data for Florida shows it to be heaviest for initial landings and migrant releases.
This chart shows the destination of the airborne illegals under this particular unlawful program:
TOP RECEIVING OFOs
MIAMI 326,000
HOUSTON 21,964
LOS ANGELES 8,382
SAN FRANCISCO 4,578
ATLANTA 4,515
BOSTON 4,879
BALTIMORE 3,784
CHICAGO 1,556
How ironic! DeSantis has sent what, a few hundred? A few thousand? illegals to destinations like Martha’s Vineyard, where chaos has resulted. And meanwhile, Joe Biden has delivered hundreds of thousands of illegals to Miami, under this program alone. Via free air travel. I don’t know about you, but I never fly for free. Under Joe Biden, illegals are privileged.
Our immigration laws are sane, if not rational. It would be much better to enact Canada’s immigration law, which focuses entirely on merit. But that is a moot point, since our laws are not just being ignored, but are being gleefully mocked and flouted by one of our two major parties.
Did you know this? I’m betting you didn’t.
Did you expect that, given the fact that mainstream media have every bit as much access to this information as Mr. Hinderaker, they would tell you all about it? If you know anything about the state/quality of our mainstream media today, I’m betting it’s the same answer; you didn’t.
And why Miami? How about that if you stuff enough of them there, and get them – legally or illegally – to vote, you might flip Florida back from Republican to Democrat?
Is my cynicism regarding what is going on unfair? I am certain it isn’t.
Doubt me? Then read about the voter legislation being proposed by Speaker Mike Johnson, which is the subject of my next blog, and think about which party will, and will not, accept its perfectly logical, reasonable components.
