Since Reagan left office, many of us have had to vote against candidates for President. The 2020 election offered grassroots middle-of-the-country voters the opportunity to elect a candidate with a proven track record of making America great again. (Remember, Bill Clinton was the first to use that campaign line!)
President Trump lost the 2020 election because so many people hated him and voted against him. The election reminded me of an old saying, “cutting off your nose to spite your face.” It also reminded me of something President Obama said after taking office: “Elections have consequences.”
Unfortunately, President Biden and his administration have taken the voters’ hate to heart and have begun undoing some of Trump’s key accomplishments. Nowhere is this more evident than on our southern border.
President Biden’s first orders reinstated the disastrous “catch and release” policy allowing migrants to stay in America after crossing the border illegally. Biden also ended Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy where asylum seekers waited in Mexico for a hearing before entering the U.S. In February, the State Department terminated the Asylum Cooperation Agreement with Guatemala in which migrants traveling through Guatemala from other nations should seek asylum there before appealing to the U.S.
“What’s your plan, Joe?” Plan? Trump bad man. Hate Trump. Undo all Trump policies. That’s the plan.
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said we’ll see more migrants crossing the border than we’ve seen in more than two decades. Hundreds of thousands of migrants have already overwhelmed those charged with protecting our southern border. We are approaching the time of year when migrants historically try to cross the border. What is the Biden plan for this invasion?
March 20, Fox News EXCLUSIVE: “Fox News has learned from a senior source with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that a plan is under consideration for Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley Sector (RGV) to begin releasing illegal border crossers who claim asylum without issuing a Notice to Appear (NTA) - meaning they will depart custody without a court date.
“Such a decision would be unprecedented if enacted and would place the responsibility of seeking an asylum hearing on the migrants through Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or legal assistance.”
Last week, The Washington Post reported the Biden administration is weighing an option to fly migrants to states bordering Canada for processing. Oh! That’s clever! Then states on both borders will be flooded with illegal migrants!
Last week in “Newsweek,” Dr. Ben Carson described the migration: “The dangerous migrant journey turned out to be no deterrent against the strong pull of potential U.S. citizenship, leading to what we are witnessing now: a humanitarian crisis on our southern border which has empowered cartels and human traffickers. The abuse faced by women and children is rampant.”
The Biden administration has simultaneously created an overwhelming immigration crisis and humanitarian crisis by rescinding Trump’s policies without anticipating or having a plan for the flood of migrants that are coming now.
President Biden is scheduled to give his first press conference Thursday, March 25. Will reporters be allowed to ask questions about the border and China, or will their questions be screened and approved before the press conference? Will the President himself answer, or will he defer to others around him? What is your plan, Mr. President?

Dana Carvey did a spot on impression of the sleepy squint-eyed bastard. Biden's plan..? Deflect, diffuse, fall, irrelevant incoherent confusion, repeat.
Funny you never asked Trump for a plan because you knew damn well he never had one. Projecting much Daniel?
In my lifetime I cannot remember a newly elected president effectively going into hiding after his inauguration. If anything, they tend to go on a victory tour as they enact their policies. This guy is even hiding from a sycophantic media!
The senility must be stronger than we know...
I can save the commenters here the pain of reading his nonsense. Let me summarize: Trump great, Biden evil.
There DL goes again...not giving one bit of in depth study to immigration problems and thus just parroting and over simplifying.
How long does it take the average Guatemalan to get to the border, DL?
Any idea of the education level of the average person seeking asylum, DL?
And, of course, there was nothing else needing attention here was there?
There are solutions to our immigration crisis and it starts with completely revamping the INS and Border Patrol as well as clarity of qualifications to immigrate . Also needed is agreement to be located in under populated areas and a more rigorous assimilation ( look that word up, DL).
It's easy to be a problem identifier. Most people can do that and stir up anger, but solving a problem takes understanding why the current system isn't working for any President.
BHO should hold the 3/25 press conference since he's calling the shots. Hidden Biden should stay in his basement and take a nap.
Daniel, why didn’t you complain about Trump not having press conferences and only doing interviews with friendly co-conspirators at Fox News? You must realize what a hypocrite you look like?
The week before the stimulus checks was a tough one for my family. We have had a lot of unexpected medical expenses. We also really need a new car. At that time we were on a very tight grocery budget. We found a good deal on chicken thighs and were happy to have meat for the week. My wife and I were happily exchanging ideas about the different ways to use the chicken thighs. Our happy conversation stopped abruptly when we got to the checkout line. Before us was a large group of (likely) illegals conversing in Spanish. Their shopping cart was fully loaded with beef, chicken, ribs, and even pork tenderloin. After the cashier rang them up, one of the ladies pulls out the unmistakable SNAP/EBT card and paid for all of it. I applied for benefits last month and I was denied. I was told my reported income was too high. This is beyond ridiculous.
Bill Clinton was not the first President to use the phrase Make America Great Again - 1980 Ronald Reagan coined it.
Gardner needs to check his facts before he tries to sound smart.
There should be a warning at the top of his articles advising against operating heavy machinery or driving after reading this thought revoking trash.
The plan is to plan to come up with a plan which will give the media a plan which they can play to the gullible public (outside Texas, California and
Arizona) as the administration's plan to handle the border while actually having no working plan. It's a temporary fix until it becomes too late anyway.
Trump didn't have press conferences?

I bet next, the right will start to whine about Biden getting a fake tan and a horrible comb over.
biden only won because the water leak in Atlanta was so bad, they shutdown counting votes in 5 states.
He cheated his way through life, now we all are going to pay.
1:02 - Trump cheated and still lost. Make up whatever narrative makes you feel better, but you are only lying to yourself at this point. Even Trump’s lawyers have admitted that no reasonable person would believe their claims about election rigging was based on reality.
I don't see what the problem is here, we have all the money to give away in this country. Not to be a sourpuss, but... i can't get anyone to come in and staff my business. It's become just as acceptable here in the US to sit at home and collect unemployment through August.. no questions asked.
He forgot it’s supposed to be referenced as the Biden Harris Administration. Or is it the Harris Administration with Joe Biden as President?
@1:30 - please post valid facts to backup your obviously democrat/radical/communist statement/opinion.
@2:17 - have you considered offering competitive pay? Pro tip: Most people will work the job that pays them the best.
The Ole truth twister himself got one thing right. Elections have consequences and right now the majority seem pretty happy. After the press conference today it’s only going to go higher.
DL hates Biden so much, I wonder if he sent his Stimulus Check back?
Love him or hate him, at least Trump acted like a leader and real man.
Yeah, most of the time he never acted "Presidential" . . . but he acted like a leader.
He scared that fat little North Korean retarded oompa-loompa to death.
Now that lil' fat North Korean clown is violating "UN" regulations and launching ballistic missiles again.
Only More proof that Biden is a national security threat.
It's obvious to anyone that the man no longer has his full mental capacity.
But when those that supported him start paying close to $4.00 for a gallon of gas by Memorial Day, I will enjoy their anger.
Danny, no doubt may people hated Trump, but that isn't why he lost. The lection was stolen. We all saw it. No reason to pretend it didn't happen.

Didn't you see the legal documents,not only of rulings on the mythical fraud, but Sidney Powell's own defense attorney saying " no reasonable person" would believe her claims? Or how about the GOP's lawyer admitting that these new election laws were " necessary" because the GOP was " at a disadvantage" without them?
That some of you don't want legally registered citizens to vote is truly unAmerican and if you want a Strong Man Dictator please move to Russia.
Trump and his looney legal team were laughed out of court. Anyone can make wild accusations, but wihtout proof they just looked like psychos who belonged in a padded room with full time supervision. What a loser!
They can try all the want with over top laws, I can live with vote ID in all situations, In person, Drop Boxes, Mail in and any other way they allow people to vote. But making it illegal to give someone water while they wait in line is a bridge to far. They will be surprised when their attempts suppress voting fails.
And it will fail, the main reason is that good honest folks are leaving the Republican Party, the base shrinking not growing and secondly they just made the case for people like Stacy Abrams “ they want take away your vote” it’s a proven message, it makes people come out to vote.
Biden did not win fairly. He is not legitimate... And I am middle of the line.
@1:18 - Biden absolutely won fairly as Americans showed up in historic numbers to boot Trump and his enablers from office ... and I am a conservative billionaire who runs private prisons for immigrant children.
