(Headline USA) In a brazen display of partisanship, President Joe Biden has cherry-picked asylum-seeking migrants whose cultures tend to support conservative causes and prevented them from passing through his otherwise open borders.
His decision to specifically block immigrants from Haiti, Cuba and Nicaragua is the best evidence yet that his immigration policy is not rooted in any moral sense of duty or compassion, but more cynically designed to import new Democrat voters in the coming decades—a phenomenon sometimes referred to as the “Great Replacement” theory.
Like many other empirically evident and objectively verifiable realities, left-wing and deep-state propaganda pushers have baselessly dismissed it as a “conspiracy theory.”
The Biden administration on Thursday said it would immediately begin turning away Cubans, Haitians and Nicaraguans who cross the U.S.–Mexico border illegally, a major expansion of an existing effort to stop Venezuelans attempting to enter the U.S.
These four affected nations are among those for whom migrant border crossings have risen most sharply, with no easy way to quickly return migrants to their home countries.
Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela all currently have Marxist dictators, meaning that its asylum-seekers may be fleeing valid political persecution unlike others who are simply seeking economic opportunity.
Haiti—which has been hit by a double-whammy of corrupt government and nonstop natural disasters—also tends to produce immigrants that are more conservative relative to other nationalities, although many also back Democrats.
Instead of allowing their unfettered flow across the porous southern border, the administration will accept 30,000 people per month from the four nations for two years and offer the ability to legally work, as long as they come legally, have eligible sponsors and pass vetting and background checks.
It is a massive change to immigration rules, and it will stand even if the U.S. Supreme Court ends a Trump-era public health law that allows American authorities to turn away asylum seekers.
The new policy could result in 360,000 people from these four nations lawfully entering the U.S. in a year. But currently, far more people from those countries are attempting to cross into the U.S. on foot. Migrants from those four countries were stopped 82,286 times in November alone.
The Biden administration has struggled to manage increasing numbers of migrants crossing the U.S.–Mexico border and has been reluctant to take hard-line measures that would resemble those of the Trump administration. That’s resulted in a barrage of criticism from Republicans who say the Democratic president is ineffective on border security.
Biden was to address the border changes in a speech later Thursday. He has said he will travel to El Paso, Texas, this weekend, his first trip to the southern border as president, before a planned trip to Mexico City to meet with North American leaders on Monday.
Mexico has agreed to accept up to 30,000 migrants per month from the four countries who attempt to walk or swim across the U.S.–Mexico border, according to the White House.
Under Trump, the U.S. required asylum seekers to wait across the border in Mexico. That system was ended under the Biden era, and the migrants who are returned now will not be eligible for asylum.
