Biden Tells Democrats: I'm Ending Title 42 Come Hell Or High Water;
Texas National Guard Soldier Drowns While Saving Illegal Alien Trying to Cross Rio Grande's High Water

NeverTrump's Fake President is determined to destroy this country.

The Adults are Back in Charge, baby.

And a Texas National Guard soldier just lost his life due to the "adults" being "back in charge."

First, Biden says he doesn't care about the chaos at the border he's about to unleash, he's the Next FDR, baby, and he's gonna Out-Barack Barack.

Facing a growing rebellion from within the Democratic Party, the White House is standing behind its decision to end on May 23 a Trump-era deportation policy for migrants encountered at the southern border.

That decision to end the use of the public health order known as Title 42 has placed President Joe Biden in a political bind. The president is attempting to balance his long-standing promise to revoke the policy -- which, under the banner of fighting the Covid pandemic, justified the immediate expulsion of migrants without due process -- right as Republicans weaponize immigration before the midterms and as a growing number of Democratic senators want restrictions to remain in place for fear that the administration is not prepared for a summer surge of migrants to the border.

"It's not like we've been hiding the ball on this," a White House official said, speaking freely about the state of play on condition of anonymity. "This is not a policy to applaud or defend or anything. It simply is a public health directive on whether there is a public health risk associated with processing migrants or not. The [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] made a determination that there wasn't and that we're OK to move forward with lifting it on May 23."

Politico fails to mention that the CDC has just claimed that The Science (TM) says there's still a Covid Emergency as far as crossing American state lines in airplanes or trains but for some reason there's no covid emergency as far as crossing America's national borders.

Can we double-check The Science (TM) on that? Because it looks more like The Politics (TM) and The Payoffs (TM) to The Favored Constituencies (TM).

It also looks like The Propaganda Media (TM) once again censoring stories on behalf of Democrats. Even Democrats like Kristen Sinema are bringing attention to this obvious contradiction.

But Politico just claims the only tension here is political -- Biden's policy vs. the Republicans "weaponizing" the issue.

...

"Republicans are winning this messaging war, and they're making it about open borders," said a former Biden administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak more freely about the problems the current team is having. "If Democrats would just remind the American public that this is the brainchild of [Trump senior aide and hardline immigration adviser] Stephen Miller, who also separated 5,000 children from their parents, and that the president campaigned on overturning all these cruel policies of the Trump administration, I think the American public would support it."

"There is no alternative that's being put out there," the former official added.

Yes there is: Keeping Title 42 in place. What he means is, "No one's offered us a Sweetener or Payoff to Illegals to give them something in return for an extension of Title 42. No one's offered us Amnesty."

Meanwhile, via Karen Townsend at Hot Air, DHS Secretary Mayorkas passes the buck for this disaster to the CDC.

I'm unimpressed by this leak -- this is what the Weekend at Biden's Administration does, it passes the buck for its unpopular decisions to the CDC, as if the CDC is the Supreme Authority governing the country.

It isn't. I know Biden isn't the real president but The Regime which fraudulently put this drugged-up zombie in the White House is acting with the usurped authority of the presidency. The presidency has the executive power in this country -- not the fucking backwater agency the CDC, run by a ditzy favor-trading incompetent whore.

But they keep saying "The CDC is making the decisions." No, the CDC is not making the decisions. You are deciding to permit the CDC to make the decisions.

At Axios: The Secretary of Homeland Security claims he's bound by the decisions of his subordinate employees!

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has privately told members of Congress he's concerned with the Biden administration's handling of its plans to lift Title 42 on May 23, sources familiar with the conversations tell Axios.

Why it matters: The private airings by Mayorkas, recounted by lawmakers, belie public posturing that the administration is prepared for a potential influx of migrants. The secretary is not only charged with protecting the border but overseeing the process of ending the Trump-era immigration control.

Mayorkas has also indicated a level of frustration and unease with the repeal rollout, the sources said.

DHS spokesperson Marsha Espinosa told Axios: "As Secretary Mayorkas has said repeatedly, Title 42 is a public health authority -- not an immigration authority -- and he defers to the public health experts at the CDC for any decisions related to it.

...

What we're hearing: During a conversation with one senator a few weeks ago, Mayorkas communicated he was frustrated with the way the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced its plans to end the program.

The CDC's Title 42 order -- first issued in March 2020 -- uses the COVID-19 pandemic as justification for turning back migrants without the chance to seek asylum.

Mayorkas, the first Latino and immigrant confirmed to serve as DHS secretary, shared his wariness regarding the expected influx of migrants once the ban is lifted, one source familiar with that discussion told Axios.

In separate conversations with other members earlier this month, he conceded there are significant challenges with lifting Title 42.

Mayorkas also acknowledged his own concerns about the expected surge in migrants, two other sources familiar with the talks said.

In some instances, the secretary pointed members to the CDC, and said the public health agency is calling the shots.

Meanwhile, one American has just given his life to save an illegal alien encouraged to cross the border by Biden.

Or was he encouraged to cross the border by Rachel Walensky and the CDC? Who knows who's in charge in America any more? I know that supposedly the drugged-up zombie is in charge when he has a black woman to nominate for the Supreme Court or a white man in a skirt to appoint as the First Woman Admiral, but whenever there's some unpopular decision, it was all Rachel Walensky's call.

So the buck stops with Rachel Walensky for this soldier's death.

BREAKING: Multiple sources tell me a Texas National Guard soldier has just drowned in the Rio Grande here in Eagle Pass while trying to save migrants in the water. Texas DPS confirms, and tells me a body has been recovered. I'm told a statement will be coming out soon.
@FoxNews

Last week, Jorge Ventura filed a video report of illegal aliens being swept away by the Rio Grande.

More deaths on Joe Biden's Rachel Walensky's head.
