"There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States."
The comment landed Wednesday 180 degrees opposite Mayorkas' oft-stated lie: "The border is closed."
Gov. J.D. Pritzker, D-Ill., complained to President Joe Biden that "The federal government's lack of intervention and coordination at the border has created an untenable situation for Illinois." Pritzker's constituents, particularly blacks, are enraged in Chicago, a Democrat fortress that backed Biden over Trump in 2020, 74% to 24%. "We are in the community of black people, where we already get the low scraps. And then you want to take the little scraps, the resources, that we have and put us at the bottom of the barrel?" a woman seethed at a Windy City town hall Tuesday.
"There is no new administration policy with respect to the border wall," Mayorkas said in Mexico City.
"Construct physical barriers" or "a border wall is not the answer?" Which is it?
"Do you believe the border wall works?" a journalist asked in the Oval Office.
While the Biden administration juggles its own contradictions, enjoy the man-bites-dog spectacle of Democrats demanding a closed border.
