Shit, why? We just got done investing all kinds of money in liquification and transportation capacity for natural gas with the specific idea of selling liquified natural gas into Europe.

Mayorkas says border crisis 'unsustainable' and 'we're going to lose' in leaked audio

"A couple of days ago I was down in Mexico, and I said look, you know, if, if our borders are the first line of defense, we're going to lose and this is unsustainable,"
"We can't continue like this, our people in the field cant continue and our system isn't built for it."

Mayorkas told the agents that the current border situation "cannot continue." He said the federal government's system was not designed to handle such an influx of migrants as the U.S. has seen in recent months and he was "very well" aware that the sector recently came close to "breaking."

"It’s our responsibility to make sure that that never happens again," he said.

Mayorkas visited the Texas border and announced that agents handled more than 212,000 migrant encounters in July, marking a 13% increase from the previous month. He admitted the issue was "one of the toughest challenges we face."

Some border agents have also seemed exasperated by the administration's approach to the crisis.

"For those of us who have been around here long enough … we don't need to reinvent the wheel," one agent told Mayorkas. "We've had this happen before. We know exactly how to shut it down. We need to make illegal entry illegal."

Except, this "administration" did just the opposite, deliberately, and they damn well know it.

Isn't that fascinating? No need to prove they've tested negative for the Kung Flu or gotten the shots, no restrictions on where Biden can bus them.

Meanwhile, Biden's thinking he'd like to require American citizens to prove they have gotten the Kung Flu shots if they want to travel from one state to another. No kidding.

We are headed to Mexico next week no Covid test to go, test needed to return if we fly home. However, if we walk, drive, swim or boat in no test needed. Explain that one.

These mandates and regulations are just like gun laws. Whimsical without logic, rhyme or reason. And completely ineffective to intent.

I think they're 100% effective for their intent, power and control over the brainless.

is biden ever right ?

I remember when Trump would overturn Obama policy a Federal judge would rule against him the next day or two. Why wait 8 months and allow all this damage to our country. We don't play by the same rules as the left. And it looks like we will never learn.


Judge Orders Biden Administration to Resume ‘Remain in Mexico’ Policy

The stoppage of the policy has contributed to the border crisis, ruling says

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...1P5YNJ5W%2FVDGoIx00N

A federal judge on Friday said the Biden administration must resume a policy that sees asylum seekers wait in Mexico for their claims to be heard.

The Department of Homeland Security “failed to consider several critical factors” before axing the Trump era “Remain in Mexico” policy, U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a Trump appointee, found.

That included ignoring how the program was beginning to lead to some immigrants with asylum claims that lacked merit voluntarily returning home, he wrote in a 53-page ruling.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on June 1 of this year formally ended “Remain in Mexico,” though in practice it was stopped when President Joe Biden entered office on Jan. 20. In a memorandum (pdf) to top immigration officials, Mayorkas said a review determined the policy “does not adequately or sustainably enhance border management in such a way as to justify the program’s extensive operational burdens and other shortfalls.”

“Over the course of the program, border encounters increased during certain periods and decreased during others. Moreover, in making my assessment, I share the belief that we can only manage migration in an effective, responsible, and durable manner if we approach the issue comprehensively, looking well beyond our own borders,” he wrote.

The memo fails to mention some of the primary benefits of the program, which is known as MPP, Kacsmaryk said.

“At the very least, the Secretary was required to show a reasoned decision for discounting the benefits of MPP. Instead, the June 1 Memorandum does not address the problems created by false claims of asylum or how MPP addressed those problems. Likewise, it does not address the fact that DHS previously found that ‘approximately 9 out of 10 asylum claims from Northern Triangle countries are ultimately found non-meritorious by federal immigration judges,’ and that MPP discouraged such aliens from traveling and attempting to cross the border in the first place,” he said.

That made the policy change both arbitrary and capricious, the judge added. The Administrative Procedure Act states that agency actions that are “arbitrary, capricious, or an abuse of discretion” are ripe for being overturned by courts.

Kacsmaryk ordered the Biden administration to resume MPP, though he stayed his order for seven days to let the federal government seek emergency relief at an appeals court.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican who brought the lawsuit with the state of Missouri, said the ruling showed the Biden administration “unlawfully tried to shut down the legal and effective Remain-in-Mexico program.”

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, another Republican, described the ruling as a “huge win for border security and the rule of law.”

The Biden administration did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The horse is long gone; shutting the barn door now would help, but there are upwards of 2 million invaders in our country as a result of the criminal Biden administration…which is really a globalist ploy, not just a democRAT one.

What’s happening here is exactly what happened to Europe. Vast numbers of “poor people seeking a better life” are being injected into a western nation whether we like it or not. The administration will either ignore the ruling outright, or file suits of their own and ramp up the invasion until the next round of legal posturing reaches the end, which could take years.

This is about solidifying power for the future, both through flooding red states with future DemocRATS and the already proven method of outright fraud.

Biden tweet from 13 Aug:

"More good-paying jobs. Tax cuts for working families. Lower everyday costs.

That's what my Build Back Better Agenda means for you."


Jeff Carlson response:

The Border is a disaster.
Afghanistan is falling.
Hunter is on tape. Again.
Inflation [Stagflation] is on the rise.

Meanwhile, you're on vacation being kept away from the cameras.

It's a literal vacuum at the Executive Branch.

Good men died so his son could smoke crack.

Never forget that.

Today, in history, 15 August 2021






Note that there is not a single military leader on Joe’s TV monitor.

Evidently Army Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was unable to attend the meeting.
Gen. Milley was most likely doing research to understand white rage and prepare military leadership for teaching Critical Race Theory.

Hindsight is 20/20.
Easy to see now, but how was Joe to know that civilians and embassy personnel should have been withdrawn prior to withdrawing troops.


“The Taliban is not the North Vietnamese army,” Biden said. “They’re not remotely comparable in terms of capability.”

“There’s going to be no circumstance where you are going to see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the United States from Afghanistan,” he added. “It is not at all comparable.”

Helicopters airlifted American embassy personnel from the U.S. embassy in Kabul on Sunday morning as the Taliban terrorists entered the city’s outlying districts.

Biden's Abysmal Day Just Got Worse: OPEC+ Snubs Plea For More Oil, Says "No Need" To Pump More

https://www.zerohedge.com/mark...-says-wont-pump-more

A day that was already the worst in Biden long political career, just got worse when moments ago Reuters reported that just days after the US president showed just how dependent on foreign oil the formerly energy independent US has become, when on Aug 11 he begged OPEC+ to pump more in order to lower the price of gas at the pump, OPEC+ responded that it sees no need to release more oil into the market at present, despite US calls. As a reminder, OPEC+ is currently planning to raise output by 400k BPD a month beginning in August until all the current reductions of 5.8mln BPD are removed, and will not accelerate its schedule despite Biden's pleading.

In response oil, which had tumbled today after the latest dismal Chinese economic data, managed to modest rebound as OPEC+ clearly refuses to cooperate with the Biden admin.
