The Biden administration continues to stumble and make themselves look worse on the issue of the border crisis. Biden’s press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, is now cutting off journalists who ask questions about it during the daily press briefings. And really, can you blame her? There’s no credible defense for what is happening at the southern border. Even Fox News reporter Bill Melugin fact-checked the White House’s most egregious falsehoods about the desperate situation in places like Eagle Pass.

The Democrat Mayor of Eagle Pass, Rolando Salinas, has been pleading with Biden and Kamala Harris for assistance. He’s even said he would welcome a visit from Biden that is more than just a heavily scripted photo op. Salinas wants answers and action from the administration, not just empty promises.

During an appearance on CNN, Salinas didn’t hold back in his criticism of the Biden administration. He blamed Biden for the crisis in his city and expressed his disappointment in the lack of communication from the administration. Salinas and other critics of Biden’s open border policies understand that to truly comprehend the magnitude of the crisis, you need to visit and see firsthand what residents, local leaders, and CBP agents are dealing with.
But Biden and Harris won’t do that. They prefer sanitized visits where they don’t have to face the consequences of their actions and inaction. Instead of supporting border agents, they smear and degrade them. It’s no wonder that red state governors like Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis have exported the problem to liberal enclaves, calling out the hypocrisy of sanctuary city and state Democrats.
In the midst of all this, Mayor Salinas deserves credit for speaking out against the administration, even though he belongs to the same party. True leaders understand that playing nice with political allies won’t solve the problems their communities are facing. It’s refreshing to see someone like Salinas take a stand and demand answers and solutions from the supposed leader of our country. Let’s hope that more leaders, regardless of party affiliation, have the courage to do the same.
