Life along the border collapses as Biden fiddles
2021-09-28
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Take all of the imagery you have seen of the over 14,000 Haitian migrants colonists camped under an international bridge in the small Texas border town of Del Rio and add the complications of disease, public excrement, unbearable heat, and heightened frustrations. It has led to violence that has injured Border Patrol officers .

Now close your eyes and imagine it is 100 times worse.

Because that's what it is, said Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales, the freshman Republican who represents 42% of the border. The overwhelmed city of Del Rio had been in a rapidly deteriorating crisis situation when illegal immigrants colonists first began surging into the community in January, but Gonzales now says the situation here is a "Category 5" and that the environment is unlike anything he has ever seen before.

"I arrived here today to pure chaos," he said. "I've never seen it in this environment. There literally is no border left."

Gonzales said Del Rio is in dire straits. "There's no doubt there's COVID here, there's measles, tuberculosis, all kinds of diseases," he said. "You’ve got kids running around in nothing but diapers. A handful of port-a-potties — my God, the stench is terrible. This is not good for the migrants colonists. It is not good for the residents. It's not good for wherever our government is sending them in the interior of the country."

#3  Under the bridge carnage is probably still better than Haiti.

#2  Biden couldn't hold a fiddle and finger it at the same time if he tried. He might be able to manage a harmonica but even that would be risky.
