Perhaps the most head-spinning statement of the Biden years came about a week ago when President Biden endorsed an impending Senate immigration deal so he could “shut down” the border.

This, after the president had dismantled all the Trump policies that had secured the border; after Biden and his minions had refused for years to call the chaos at the border a “crisis”; after doing all he could to redirect illegal immigrants to newly created legal channels to launder them into the country through different means.
