Well, this is one way to ensure that Blue states and cities won’t have to provide the promised “sanctuary” to illegal immigrants: force them to remain in Texas.

It’s both brilliant politically and proof positive that the flood of illegal immigration Biden has invited is largely intended to punish Red states and change their demographics.

The Biden Administration has been trying to convince people that their policies have been working to stem the flow of illegal migrants, but the fact is that the numbers are shockingly high.

The Biden administration is considering forcing some migrant families who enter the country without authorization to remain near the border in Texas while awaiting asylum screening, effectively limiting their ability to travel within the U.S., three U.S. officials told The Times.

Administration officials have been considering the idea as a way to stem recent increases in the numbers of migrant families crossing the southern border, which reportedly reached an all-time high last month. Supporters of the remain-in-Texas idea, which has yet to be finalized, hope that it would help the administration advance its goals of quickly deporting families who fail initial asylum screenings and deterring other families from crossing in the first place.

The ostensible reason for the policy is to facilitate the return of refugees should their asylum claims be rejected; but that assumes they will get a hearing promptly, when we know that the backlog makes this highly unlikely. The effect, then, would be piling up millions of refugees in Texas should this policy get implemented.

The Biden plan would force certain migrant families to remain in Texas — or possibly other border states — by tracking their location through GPS monitoring devices, such as ankle bracelets, according to the three officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. The families would be put through an asylum screening process to determine whether they could stay in the U.S. and proceed with their claims. Officials have discussed working with local organizations to provide housing for the families.

If the families failed their initial screenings, they’d be easier to deport because they’d be close to the border.

The number of illegal migrants crossing the border has been skyrocketing from an already high number. The word is out that crossing the border is a golden ticket for some people and that the Biden Administration has put a welcome mat for new arrivals. The flow has been so great that places like New York City are in deep trouble, and I am convinced that the Biden Administration’s response is to create a new border to keep the illegals in Red states.

If implemented, the plan would mark the latest expansion of a Biden administration program known as Family Expedited Removal Management, which imposes curfews and GPS monitoring on migrant families traveling to large cities, including Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.

Administration officials had hoped that the FERM program, together with videos and press releases highlighting families being deported, would help deter additional families from entering the U.S. without authorization.

In July, however, Border Patrol encountered more than 60,000 families crossing the border — making up almost half the number of those who crossed the southern border that month. Border Patrol has yet to release that number for August, but the Washington Post reported last week that it was more than 91,000, an all-time record.

Families have accounted for a large portion of the overall increase in crossings since May, when administration officials thought that Biden’s new limits on asylum had finally made a dent in border-crossing numbers.

By now it should be obvious that the Biden Administration cares nothing about protecting America’s borders, and with this contemplated move, it will be equally obvious that the border he wants to protect is around his political base.

Quit listening to what the Administration says and focus on what they are doing–and what they are doing is conducting a low-level war against Red states. Forcing Texas and other border states to carry the entire burden of Biden’s insane policies is yet another example of this very thing.

Biden is getting heat–finally–from voters he cares about. His response is the ensure that they are protected and as close to 100% of the burden falls on people he despises.

Biden is by far the worst president since Woodrow Wilson. No president since Wilson has expressed so much contempt for average Americans and so little respect for the Constitution. Whatever his flaws, Carter didn’t hate American citizens and American principles. He was just bad at the job.

Biden? He is systematically destroying America.
