SHUTDOWN DAY 20: One Day Away From The All-Time Record

Anticipation is high as President Donald Trump is prepared to tie the all-time record Friday for longest government shutdown, set by Newt Gingrich in 1996.

Nancy Pelosi refused to fund the Wall in her meeting with the president Wednesday, so the shutdown continues. The president’s trip to the border will define his ability to continue to lead the issue as the American people make it past three weeks.

The president does not seem to be under Roger Maris-type stress. He is governing the country effectively, nicely dressing down an ABC reporter in the Oval Office and giving a feisty show-stopping speech at the Capitol.

To get a sense of why the president is fighting so hard, check out the sign Democrat senator Kamala Harris of California has outside her office:

Border Patrol Expects 13,000 Illegal Alien Minors to Arrive at the Border in May ALONE

A consequence of Biden’s open borders policy.

Customs and Border Patrol is expecting more than 13,000 unaccompanied minor illegal aliens to arrive at the US-Mexico border in the month of May alone, bracing for unprecedented ‘caravan’ style migration to the United States as President Joe Biden dismantles ICE and opens the immigration system to dubious asylum seekers.

A CBP official provided the projection to the Biden administration on Thursday. The already increasing arrival of child migrants during Biden’s presidency have revealed the “kids in cages” talking point of the Left and the media to be little more than a political prop, with CBP and DHS detaining the minors in the exact same detention facilities.

“We’re seeing the highest February numbers than we’ve ever seen in the history of the [Unaccompanied Alien Child] program,” a CBP official was quoted as telling Axios on Thursday. The border agency expects caravan-style migration to pick up in earnest in the spring months, possibly presenting a genuine border crisis for Biden, who has promised to obey a strict ‘America Last’ approach to the border and immigration.

The federal government was never going to release minors from another country onto the streets of the United States without the support of relatives, or hand them off to the already troubled group home system.

Biden’s de facto invitation of illegal immigration will prove to be an invitation for dangerous journeys from minors from Central America and Mexico. Human smugglers often utilize supposed minors to pose as family units in hopes of amnesty from the United States. Many of the unaccompanied minors who arrive in the United States have been instructed to come to the country in hopes of enabling legal residency for the adult family.

The Biden administration is actively expanding minor detention centers in response to the current surge of illegal immigration, with previous faux-moral sanctimony about ‘kids in cages’ demonstrated to be little more than political propaganda. If you don’t want to detain illegal alien minors in federal facilities, don’t create border policies that serve as a de facto invitation for smugglers to traffic them.
