The Washington Post <\/em>is on a roll. A piece published in their Monkey Cage<\/a> analysis section tells us that \u201cThere\u2019s no migrant \u2018surge\u2019 at the U.S. southern border<\/a>.\u201d Ignoring historic highs surpassing the 2019 surge (which the same paper called a crisis<\/a>), the authors take the position that the current surge is simply reflecting seasonal trends. It gets better. The authors write, \u201cwe analyzed monthly CBP [Customs and Border Protection] data from 2012 to now and found no crisis or surge that can be attributed to Biden administration policies<\/strong>\u201d (emphasis added). <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is, of course, patently false. It is laughably false. The Biden administration all but admitted their policies caused the surge in asylum-seeking aliens when Roberta Jacobson, Biden\u2019s border czar, said that \u201cmigrants respond to hope<\/a>\u201d \u2013 the hope being Joe Biden\u2019s election as president after months of promising citizenship for every illegal alien<\/a> present in the country. The Post\u2019s <\/em>Monkey Cage is merely acting as an arm of the Biden administration\u2019s communications team by regurgitating Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas\u2019 assertion that the border surge is not a crisis, but merely a challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
