Washington Blames Record Migration On ‘Communism’
After two years of Joe Biden’s presidency, four times as many undocumented migrants are trying to cross the border into the United States, and he’s getting desperate to explain away the increase.
In September, the administration discovered a new narrative: that migrants are fleeing “communism.”
The White House ignores that fact that in the fiscal year just ended, migrants coming from the three countries he labels “communist” formed less than a third of the total: of the 2.7 million people “encountered” at the border, only a fifth came from Cuba, Nicaragua or Venezuela.
Half of all migrants still come from the four countries closest to Texas: Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.
If Biden blames migration on “repression” he has an excuse for renewed attacks on governments his administration demonises.
