Federal Government responds to County

Crisis Schmisis

“The border is closed. I repeat: THE BORDER IS CLOSED. There is no crisis. We have always been at war with Oceania.”
“The border is closed. I repeat: THE BORDER IS CLOSED. There is no crisis. We have always been at war with Oceania.”

Last week, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors declared a humanitarian crisis in response to the public concern over the number of migrants being dropped in San Diego County by U.S. Border Agents. “We can’t continue down this path,” said Supervisor Jim Desmond. “We must acknowledge the practical limits of our own capacity to meet the needs of those who arrive in our region.” Desmond and fellow Supervisors then issued an urgent plea for Federal Assistance in meeting those needs.

But their request was met with confusion by the Biden Administration. “The border is closed,” said Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. “The border is closed,” agreed Secretary of State Anthony Blinken. “President Biden has done more to secure the border than anyone,” said White House Spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre, before continuing: “In light of that, we’re not sure what the Board of Supervisors is getting at. How can there be a humanitarian crisis brought on by dropped-off migrants when the border is closed? Perhaps the Supervisors were confused. Perhaps the so-called ‘migrants’ were merely homeless veterans in need of care. And they are in need. What is the board of supervisors doing to alleviate the homeless problem in San Diego? Frankly, I would not have expected this sort of misinformation and finger-pointing from a Democrat-dominated body. They should be ashamed of themselves, really."
