Biden’s Shameless Makeover as a Border Wall Champion
The administration’s attempt at political sleight-of-hand should be rejected by the American people as the desperate, cynical act it is.

If there is one thing that has garnered near unanimous support from those on the Left—aside from their fanatical loathing of Donald Trump—it is their opposition to a wall on our southern border. It defines them and scratches their itch for proclaiming their moral superiority over their political opponents. For those seeking the support of these people for a political candidacy at any level the last few years, opposition to the wall has been one of the most crucial litmus tests.
Imagine the disappointment and anger among rank-and-file social justice warriors at the news that Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security has been discreetly filling in gaps along the border wall in the Yuma Sector of Arizona. In their world, this is not just a shift in policy, but a betrayal of decency and light and an embrace of wickedness.
One of two things is likely going on here. Despite its total mismanagement of the country these last 18 months, the Biden White House might have at least a few advisors with a semblance of concern for the consequences of their policies. These advisors, unlike the rest of their co-workers, may actually care for the good of the country. They have witnessed the catastrophe at our border and have urged for some kind of deterrence to be implemented before the situation becomes an irreversible humanitarian crisis on a level far higher than it is currently.
The other scenario could be that someone in the White House, despite its general dismissal of polls showing Biden at record levels of disapproval, has realized there is good reason to be terrified that its record of far-Left governance and failure will be poison in the upcoming midterm elections. Desperate for a fig leaf to claim it is actually moderate, this White House will point to the wall construction as evidence that it is driven by practical concerns and not appeasement of its fringe radical supporters.
