everything-from-schools-to-border/

It’s truly astonishing how much President Biden in his first weeks has
opted to side with his party’s left wing and its special interests — and
against even moderate Americans’ desires.

It’s most obvious in his Mexican-border madness: President Donald Trump
worked out perfectly reasonable, humane policies that stemmed the record-
breaking, Obama-era surges of migrants at the border. Yet Biden has
needlessly moved to kill Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” deal and other
agreements with Central American nations that were clearly working.
Instead, he set up a temporary freeze on deportations and is talking up
plans to offer a path to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants.

All of which has encouraged Central American migrants to rush for the US
border: Already, the number of children who cross over this year is on
pace to break the all-time record by 45 percent. And he’s had to resort to
the notorious “cages” to detain kids who crossed without their families,
and it’s only going to get worse as summer hits.

Meanwhile, his end to deportations is also prompting a return to “catch
and release” — posing a public-health hazard: More than 100 illegal
border-crossers released last week had tested positive for the
coronavirus, yet still got sprung. And that’s only one of the ways this
policy slams border towns.

None of this is common sense: 55 percent of Americans disapprove of
Biden’s curb on deportations, and only far-lefties are happy to see the
border surge resume.

And even as he embraces open borders, he’s passively letting schools stay
closed. Abandoning his pledges to get most open in his first 100 days,
he’s now pretending that it can’t be done without vast new federal
spending contained in his “relief” bill — even though the nation’s schools
have billions left from last year’s relief measures, and his proposed
outlays are mainly for years in the future.

The science clearly shows that reopening poses no real health risk to
students or adult staff, but the president just refuses to say a word of
criticism of the teachers unions (and the politicians they control), which
are without question the real barrier to reopening. That’s why US
parochial and private schools, and public schools in areas of low union
power, opened up weeks ago.

He’s also gone extreme-green on energy policy. Though most Americans
support moderate efforts to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, that doesn’t
cover his multi-trillion-dollar plans to decarbonize the entire country.
With one action alone, killing the Keystone XL pipeline, he killed
thousands of good US jobs and slapped America’s good friend, Canada —
while actually harming the environment, since the Canadians will simply
ship their oil by rail and truck (meaning more pollution and greater risk
of spills) to consumers who will still burn it, probably in dirtier plants
than the ones here.

Then there’s his culture-war nonsense, such as his order mandating that
biological males be allowed to compete in sports with girls — another
policy a majority of Americans disapprove of, according to a Harvard
University and Harris Insights and Analytics poll.

He’s so reluctant to defy the hard left that he played along with the
nutty drive to cancel Dr. Seuss, Theodor Seuss Geisel, dropping all
mention of the beloved author in his Read Across America Day proclamation.
Never mind that the day comes on March 2 because that’s Seuss’ birthday,
nor that then-President Barack Obama and his wife as recently as 2015
highlighted Seuss’ work to interns and kids. “Pretty much all the stuff
you need to know is in Dr. Seuss,” Obama said. Heck, now-Vice President
Kamala Harris tweeted Seuss a happy birthday wish in 2017.

But the ravenous left wants Seuss’ scalp, and Biden obliged in canceling
an author who’s showed countless millions that reading is fun.

Whether he fears the power of the left, or has no real idea how extreme
his administration is proving, the president is rejecting the sensible
center across the board. He’s not only being foolish, he’s doing the exact
opposite of his inaugural vow to unify the nation.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the

President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed
