Since taking office nine months ago, the Biden administration has halted construction of the border wall; resumed catch-and-release of most people encountered entering the U.S. illegally; canceled the \u2018Remain in Mexico\u2019 policy; abolished just about all of ICE\u2019s immigration enforcement functions<\/a>; attempted (unsuccessfully) to sneak the largest illegal alien amnesty in history into a budget reconciliation bill; and that\u2019s just the short list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet, despite all that, people are just not happy. We\u2019re not talking about the two-thirds of Americans<\/a> who disapprove of the president\u2019s handling of immigration policy \u2013 his administration doesn\u2019t particularly care what they think. It\u2019s the open-borders, mass immigration and amnesty folks that are fuming at the Biden administration \u2013 so much so, that activists, whom Politico reports<\/a>, \u201chave been having regular calls with Biden officials for the entire year,\u201d staged a virtual walk-out on a Zoom meeting with top White House officials on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI cannot stand one more\nmeeting of them pretending,\u201d Ariana Saludares, of the New Mexico-based Colores\nUnited, told Politico. \u201cThey give us accolades on the outside, but on the\ninside, we’re having to take out the metaphoric knives from our back.\u201d She and\nthe other activists demanded time at the beginning of Saturday\u2019s meeting to\nread a statement in which they accused the Biden-Harris administration of\n\u201cplaying politics with human lives,\u201d and complaining that they can no longer \u201ccome\ninto these conversations in good conscience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their peevish scolding of\nthe President of the United States and his staff was met with, you guessed it,\nan apology from what Politico described as \u201ca White House official.\u201d The\nunnamed official thanked them for their tongue-lashing. \u201cWe are incredibly\nthankful and appreciative of the work immigration advocates and organizations\ndo around the clock to improve our immigration system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from Kamala Harris\u2019 failure to overrule<\/a> (thus far) the Senate Parliamentarian\u2019s ruling that a budget reconciliation bill is not an appropriate vehicle to enact a massive illegal alien amnesty, the activists are hopping mad about what they perceive as other betrayals by the White House. They expressed outrage that the administration is still half-heartedly employing Title 42 to bar some illegal border-crossers from entering the country because, in their view, preventing the spread of COVID should never take precedence over welcoming anybody and everybody who shows up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also expressed their\nconsternation about the fact that the White House has reluctantly agreed to comply\nwith a Supreme Court decision ordering them to reinstate the Migrant Protection\nProtocols (aka, Remain in Mexico). The fact that the administration is moving\nat a snail\u2019s pace to get it done does not seem to be placating them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If nothing else,\nSaturday\u2019s meeting proved the old adage, \u201cThere\u2019s just no pleasing some people\u201d\n\u2013 especially not self-righteous, self-entitled ideologues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
