President Biden, what took you so long?

After nearly six million illegal border crossings since he assumed office, cities and states around the country overwhelmed with migrants seeking shelter, and an influx of new arrivals daily, Biden has had an epiphany: his border policy is a disaster.

He won’t admit as much, of course, in Biden’s worldview he’s a problem-solving, economy-rescuing, unifying leader who’s going to save us all from climate change.

Until he was tripped by the sandbag of reality.

Now the Biden Administration is using executive power to waive 26 federal laws in South Texas to allow border wall construction, according to reports.

This is the one thing Biden can truthfully say was “like that when he got here.” Former President Donald Trump was constructing such a wall, and Biden vowed on the 2020 campaign trail that “There will not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration.”

That pledge, it seems, was “transitory.”

“There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project areas,” Alejandro Mayorkas, the DHS secretary, stated in Wednesday’s notice.

Border states could have told him that – and they did. Inundated states like Texas having been sending out an SOS only to have it fall on deaf ears. It took the dispersal of illegal migrants around the country, most notably to blue states, to have Democratic leaders acknowledge the debacle.

One of the most vocal critics has been New York City Mayor Eric Adams, whose “right to shelter” city is being crushed under the fiscal and physical strain of housing so many migrants.

As the New York Times reported, Adams told a town hall-style gathering in Manhattan last month “Let me tell you something New Yorkers, never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to — I don’t see an ending to this. This issue will destroy New York City.”

On Tuesday night, Adams went before a judge in a bid to suspend the city’s right to shelter status.

“With more than 122,700 asylum seekers having come through our intake system since the spring of 2022, and projected costs of over $12 billion for three years, it is abundantly clear that the status quo cannot continue,” Adams said in a statement.

Gov. Maura Healey knows where he’s coming from. Massachusetts is buckling under our own influx of migrants, spending some $45 million a month and scrambling to find shelters for all. The status quo can’t continue here, either.

Biden had a weak excuse for the border woes, accentuated with some stunning mental gymnastics.

“The money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get them (Congress) to reappropriate, to redirect that money. They didn’t. They wouldn’t,” Biden said, according to The Hill. “In the meantime, there’s nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated for. I can’t stop that.”

Biden was asked whether he thought the border wall was effective. His response: “No.”

Biden logic at its finest.
