Today's Top News: Expulsion of Haitian asylum-seekers at the border, and coming Dem breakdown on passing Biden's Big Spending Bills...

 Poor Dems.  They never strike while the iron is hot, stay in town while they have a majority, and work together to get something passed that they've promised the people.  Now, with the Afghanistan pullout debacle, the continued concern that the economy is not all that for everyone yet, and the obvious crisis on our Southern border, I do not think many Americans are eager to see a Big Spending bill passed that Americans as a whole cannot afford.  Biden can't even get his crew to up the debt limit, meaning we might have to start living on what we've actually got...  Instead of more federal spending, you'll likely see  push under the next administration to curtail the current benefits, and can we be honest?  Somebody really should be working on shoring up the Social Security system so that we don't have hungry and indigent elders on our streets in years to come, along with today's younger homeless crowd.

Almost end of day:  here's what the AP has to show for their reporting:

DEL RIO, Texas (AP) — More than 6,000 Haitians and other migrants have been removed from an encampment at a Texas border town, U.S. officials said Monday as they defended a strong response that included immediately expelling migrants to their impoverished Caribbean country and using horse patrols to stop them from entering the town.

Calling it a “challenging and heartbreaking situation,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas issued a stark warning: “If you come to the United States illegally, you will be returned. Your journey will not succeed, and you will be endangering your life and your family’s life.”

Mayorkas and Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz said they would look into agents on horseback using what appeared to be whips and their horses to push back migrants at the river between Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, and Del Rio, Texas, where thousands of migrants remain camped around a bridge.

Surely they'll have a team at the border soon too, as this story is right up their alley at the intersection of politics and race.  Nobody is clapping for the Biden administration's actions right now, I don't think, and you know they'll be damned before they credit former President Trump, and his voters, with introducing a note of reality to the country today, before local inland resources are overwhelmed.  We just don't have the wealth here they have on the coasts to support charitable projects.  And nobody seems too interested in helpng these Haitians, calling to resettle them say, in Prince George County, or on Cape Cod, for some reason...

Mayorkas said 600 Homeland Security employees, including from the Coast Guard, have been brought to Del Rio, a city of about 35,000 people roughly 145 miles (230 kilometers) west of San Antonio. He said he has asked the Defense Department for help in what may be one of the swiftest, large-scale expulsions of migrants and refugees from the United States in decades.

He also said the U.S. would increase the pace and capacity of flights to Haiti and other countries in the hemisphere. The number of migrants at the bridge peaked at 14,872 on Saturday, said Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, a labor union that represents agents. ...

The rapid expulsions were made possible by a pandemic-related authority adopted by former President Donald Trump in March 2020 that allows for migrants to be immediately removed from the country without an opportunity to seek asylum. President Joe Biden exempted unaccompanied children from the order but let the rest stand.

Meanwhile in Chicago, more black bodies pile up this weekend.  If we don't much care about controlling violence in our own black communities, and choose to accept those numbers, why would we admit into this country even more poor and undereducated black people when black immigrants and native American black culture is so incompatible and clashing when the groups encounter each other already?  

Maybe for the sake of the black schoolchildren already here, it really is safer to deport the newcomer Haitians and focus on the needs of the poor black communities already here, who clearly need cultural fixes that our current urban leaders are powerless to provide...

I mean, it's great for diversity that Chicago has a non-glamorous, black woman --  a married lesbian with a daughter, even -- at the helm, but if the city isn't working with her there, maybe it is better to elect to office an offensive white man even, who can control the streets, enforce the laws, and get the job done for the working people who want to follow the rules, work, and get home safely to their children -- who have had a safe and productive day at school.

Rahm couldn't do it either.  We don't like strongmen in politics necessarilly, but when the gangs are running the city and driving the good out, well at some point, you have to put people in who know the job they are being paid to do, and get it done.

(Can I get some white hands clapping?  Black ones clapping even -- isn't there an emoji for that?)
