Is A New Biden Scandal About To Erupt?

The Joe Biden presidency has had its share of missteps, maybe more than any other administration before it. But the latest scandalous behavior is not an error in the eyes of this White House. In pursuit of cultural and political engineering that only the Democrats would ever consider, the administration has flown 320,000 illegal immigrants into the country directly from foreign airports.

According to the ​​Center for Immigration Studies, “U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has approved secretive flights that last year alone ferried hundreds of thousands of inadmissible aliens from foreign airports into some 43 American ones over the past year, all pre-approved on a cell phone app.”

This was not disclosed at a news conference or at the daily White House press briefing but learned through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit that pried the information from an administration that clearly wanted to hide it.

It’s anyone’s guess as to where these aliens have landed. The CBP has withheld the names of the airports that “received 320,000 inadmissible aliens from January through December 2023.” It is also refusing to reveal which foreign airports the immigrants departed from.

Worse, the “passengers” are apparently unvetted, which suggests “it is highly probable the groundwork is being laid for something far worse than 9/11,” says Elon Musk.

The aliens who use the cell phone app, called CBP One, and enter the country illegally – yet with the eager assistance of the federal government – are, in essence, paroled for two years. During that time, they are provided with a “legal status during which adults are eligible for work authorization,” says the Center.

Is this even legal? And does it somehow improve the common good of the American people? Or do the benefits accrue only to the political party that holds the White House and has been for years doing whatever it takes to consolidate absolute, unchallengeable and permanent political power?

This White House has shown that it’s comfortable with violating the law to buy votes for the Democratic Party. The Supreme Court told Biden that he could not forgive student loan debt as if he were a king. Yet he did it anyway, then bragged about it. It was not an act of mercy but a cynical effort to shore up a voting bloc for his party.

Biden’s immigration flights are carved from the same tainted fruit – and they have added value in that the Democrats are in the business of wrecking Western culture and know that unchecked immigration will achieve that task for them.

The secret alien flights are scandalous and should be treated by the media as an offense that is as appalling as Watergate, if not worse. An independent press would be digging deep, but most of the “journalists” in this country today are in truth Democratic operatives. Hunter Biden could shoot a guest at the White House Independence Day celebration and the party wouldn’t lose a single supporter among today’s media.

Congress should act, as well. Unless there is a defensible reason for the program – and the administration’s explanation is weak – the White House should be held to account, which would include hearings to expose to voters just how corrupt this president and his party are.

  • Citizens don’t realize this but Biden is garnering-not only his political power- but also authoritarian and dictatorial power. It is ironic that the thing they accuse President Trump of-using his executive power to take over the country-Biden is actually doing.
    This is shown by the I&I example, above: The Supreme Court said that Biden could not forgive student debt-that it was a power installed into the Constitution and given to Congress. Biden does it anyway, and brags about doing it.
    Does this remind you of anything? Like Biden bragging (while he was the VP) about not giving Ukraine US money as long as it investigated Hunter Biden’s seemingly illegal dealings in the Ukraine. It is plain to see that Biden was furthering the Biden brand of dishonesty and corruption- and not looking out for the best interests of the US.
    Biden-especially if he is re-elected President-is going to be the President of a country that has dissolved. Thus, he may become President again-but there will be no country left to be President of.

    • As long as non-elected democrats run a majority of local, state, and federal beauocracies and control the legal system a democratic president can do whatever he wishes.

  • Time to invoke the Second Amendment yet, Cousins?
    It looks like it’s getting pretty close from this side of the Pond.
    I and many others really wish we had one over here…

  • Well if the Supreme Court rules that Trump doesn’t have immunity while performing his duties as president as many are hoping, Georgia state’s AG can sue Biden for involuntary manslaughter for Laken Riley’s death. Or accessory to murder. Why not? The Texas AG can also sue Biden for a whole host of laws he’s been breaking and in this case, actively smuggling illegals, not to mention all the drug deaths on his watch from his willful disregard of the laws passed by Congress.
    This is what left-wing lunatics never see: there actions have long-lasting consequences. Ask Harry Reid’s ghost about the filibuster f-up.

  • I am a subscriber to Monkeywerx YouTube channel. He uses a flight tracking program. He’s been showing these flights out of Northern South America into various states and returns for months. Now that these numbers confirm what is happening, perhaps someone would like to publish who the contractors are and what the contract rate is. Another note is that some sites seem to be remote and very large and therefore very “developed”. Perhaps a listing of the most frequented sites is in order? Another bonus of his site is the historical flight track of a P8 Orion from the US into the Black Sea area at the end of September 2022.
