An Open Border of Political Comatose
11 May 2025 By Abiodun Kareem Giwa
Former President Joseph Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris
Whose idea was the open border during Joe Biden's four years in the White House? Was it the former president, or Kamala Harris? It is the question the media should be asking the former president following his reemergence after the election loss. The talk about whether he would have won the election if he had not dropped out, and why Kamala Harris lost, are no issues because Americans know the open border was a significant issue of political knock-out for both. He appointed Harris as Border Czar, but she was nowhere near the border to correct the wrongs. And the liberal media, which supported them, said nothing critical of the misdirection.
Instead, they argued over Harris replacing Biden as if it were what Americans wanted in the place of a correct moral compass. Was it right for Harris to treat the president's decision with such unwarranted disrespect? And she wanted to be president! Didn't Biden remember that act of insubordination before passing the torch to Harris as a presidential candidate?
It was a failing journey from the beginning of the administration. They hampered Border Patrol officers from doing the work; attacked the Texas Governor Gregg Abbott in several ways for doing the right thing for the country and kept mum over the reason they allowed the illegal invasion. And New York Mayor Eric Adams is in a political fight for saying the city might not recover from the impact of illicit migration.
Americans watched as the Democratic Party traveled towards the election day like an accidented vehicle. It was no longer a case of allowing illegal migrants, but giving away so many resources for their comfort, something alien to Americans who watch their seniors and the homeless in a struggle for survival with no help readily available. The liberal media, rather than helping with questions, looked the other way and helped Biden and Harris political destruction.
The truth is America, not just New York, would not have recovered from the onslaught if the open border had continued. Its ending was a good redemption from bad rubbish. It will remain like a curse on the Democratic Party presidential candidates of the future. The party must tell the country who owns the idea and whether it regrets allowing it under its watch. Yes, we are all migrants, but that does not permit illegality for whatever reason offered.
Most migrants did not escape immigration processing in various consulates worldwide and through immigration at the port of entry. Why compare them to others who are coming and unknown? Take this as a good example of Biden and Harris's administration's misdirection that some people waited four years without an interview for permanent residence while the border was open? Does that mean the administration approved illegal migration against legal migration through an interview at the consulate?
The National Visa Center sends letters every month informing affected applicants of their papers that are ready but waiting for the embassy to give a date for an interview. And month after month, such candidates waited in vain. One affected person got a letter two weeks after President Trump assumed office to renew his outdated police reports, and after the renewal, got an interview date after waiting for four years. Was it Biden and Harris who did right, or Trump?
The same NVC under Biden corrected the wrongs under Trump, leading to a question about what went wrong with the NVC under the former. Was it prevented from doing its work the same way as Border Patrol officers? The open border was a poison. Disallowing officers from doing their work is corrupt; it is about a big brother stepping on people's necks, having their way, careless of the consequences. It is the direct opposite of Democracy. It will haunt its authors for a long time.
The media should ask Biden and Harris who owns the idea. The party must tell the country who owns the idea and whether it regrets allowing it under its watch. Yes, we are all migrants, but that does not permit illegality for whatever reason offered. They should stay away from future political elections if they fail to address the issue. It is time the Democratic Party stops treating electorate like nincompoops who cannot read between the lines. Where did they get the idea? No country in the world practices it.
