Republican Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida said that the situation on the southern border had the Biden White House “reeling” Thursday.
The Department of Homeland Security announced in the Federal Register that 26 laws would be suspended in order to start construction of a border wall on federally-protected land Thursday, stating it was an “immediate need.” Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has previously claimed that the border is secure on multiple occasions.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed that Biden opposed the border wall, but was complying with federal law by building it.

“Everybody knows our southern border is a mess,” Donalds told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow. “You have the mayor of New York, Eric Adams, is planning to go down to do something the president hasn’t done, see the southern border in person, actually look at it. So this White House is reeling. They have to respond to the political damage they have caused, the actual damage that they have caused and they’re going to throw this fig leaf but there is significant work that needs to be done at the southern border.”
Over 1.8 million illegal immigrants have been encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border during fiscal year 2023, according to data released by United States Customs and Border Protection, following 2,206,436 encounters in fiscal year 2022 and 1,659,206 in fiscal year 2021. Fox News reported another 600,000 migrants evaded CBP in fiscal year 2022.
“I wish he would actually do the right thing. I think that would come after the 2024 elections when he goes down to just a terrible defeat, and frankly Joe Biden deserves to be defeated,” Donalds told Kudlow. “Nothing is working right. We’re talking about the border, but everything is going wrong. He is the master of disaster, Joe Biden, he has got to be defeated. It is just that simple.”

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Believe it or not, today's high priests of climate-change apocalypse are correct in predicting that in just a few short years, the earth will become miserable, wretched and almost uninhabitable by human beings. But the grim future they envision won't come about because of "catastrophic climate change," but rather, because of the implementation of their completely insane and truly catastrophic agenda.
As Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore recently admitted, "If they actually achieve Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease." Likewise, writes energy expert and author Alex Epstein: "Today's proposed policies to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use would, if fully implemented, have truly apocalyptic consequences – making the world an impoverished, dangerous, and miserable place for most people."
Question: When the scientific case for global warming apocalypse consists primarily of a 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature over more than 130 years, what explains the obsession with an imminent, climate-caused end of the world?
Although many groups have been drawn into the Climate Change Cult – from the news media (which has warned of climate catastrophe, either global warming or a "new ice age," for over a century!), to innocent school kids indoctrinated by hysterical leftist teachers, to liberal Democrats who claim "climate change" will destroy the earth in a few years – the REAL villains are the national and global elites who KNOW the apocalyptic global warming religion is just a cruel hoax, but promote and exploit it as a means of accomplishing their ultimate goal: Transforming and ruling the world.
The heart and soul of today's bizarre, pagan climate-change religion, and the global elites' strategies for using it to rule all of mankind, is powerfully exposed and illuminated in the September issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, an issue titled "CULT OF THE CLIMATE APOCALYPSE: The elites' breathtaking strategy for ruling the world." WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
