The White House Friday reversed course on refugee admissions, after an earlier announcement maintaining a controversial Trump-era refugee cap was met with disdain by Democrats and immigration activists.
Following a day of blowback from Democrats, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced Biden would set a new, higher ceiling in May after initially saying it would keep the current 15,000 limit.
The initial decision had led to widespread complaints from Democratic lawmakers and groups representing refugees, who had already been urging Biden to lift the ceiling put in place by former President Trump.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who came to the United States as a refugee, called it "shameful."

Like it makes any difference given the deluge coming over the southern border. I think 60000 came in from Mexico last week alone. (For libterds -- that was sarcasm, no need to fact check.)

Well you have to remember that the leftist Democrats consider today’s mostly poor and uneducated “refugees” from around the world, along with other immigrants and illegal aliens to be a huge future leftist Democrat voting constituency, to keep the leftist Democrats in permanent political power, and to be a future voting force to transform the USA into some sort of socialist utopia.
It has to be that way, as if the leftist Democrats ever thought that a big majority of refugees, other immigrants, and illegal aliens would become a conservative Republican voting constituency, the borders who be locked tighter than a drum, and there would be massive Democrat run sweeps to deport and remove every illegal alien from the USA.

Another example of how easy it is to roll Biden. The Squad is a minor issue compared to how Moscow and Beijing assess how easy it would be to steamroll Old Joe.

A militarily mighty nation like ours cannot be vanquished by violence so any invasion must appear to be a peaceful flood of pitiful hapless unfortunates. This is war by another means. If we are to save our nation we must stop the invaders using lethal force if necessary, hand out dire sentences to everyone in the country illegally if they do not leave and punish employers, politicians, law enforcement and members of the Left who aided their invasion in any way. The words of the Declaration of Independence capture the corruption, greed and arrogance of American leadership today and the remedy to redress the wrongs visited on citizens is right there. The path is laid out. Now we need a leader of unusual courage and intelligence. Where is he?

#6, THAT imperfect leader has been defeated by a communistic political party. using lies and fraud to unseat him. The result is that American citizens who oppose the communists are marginalized in favor of hordes crossing the border illegaly but without penalty, such is the need for votes by the Commucrats.
There is no heroic rider coming, riding a white horse. We get ourselves out of this Titanic Mess created intentionally by the Cummucrats or America falls.

Is this a flip or a flop?
Certainly shows lack of conviction, strategy, plan, goals and utter lack of leadership.

Tomorrow Biden could simply throw open the borders and invite the entire world into the USA and nothing could be done about that as the leftist Democrats who control the Congress are not going to impeach and remove Biden from office; and the leftist Democrats have intimidated the Supreme Court to the point that if the Supreme Court does not follow leftist Democrat dogma with their rulings that the Democrats in Congress could well start impeaching and removing the Republican nominated Justices from the court.
Clearly the Democrat plan is to flood the USA with foreigners through all means available to them, through both illegal and legal immigration, legalize millions of illegal aliens, and eventually register the vast majority of them as future leftist Democrat voters, in numbers great enough to permanently change the voter demographics of enough places in the USA to keep the leftist Democrats in permanent political power.

That directly conflicts with Joe's statement that he didn't invite any of them to cross the border. Now he's raising the cap on uninvited guests? But hey, he's senile so whatever he says today is an original thought. All imported third worlders, legal or not, are the cause of most of our country's crime for the past forty years or so, with the ones from Africa and the Middle East being at the top of the list. Mexico and China supply the drugs and the street gangs fight and kill each other over it.
