Our own border is an absolute nightmare and a full-blown humanitarian crisis, but the Biden administration ignores it, even going so far as to attempt to prevent journalists reporting on the horror. They have, however, found a border that they think worthy of American taxpayer dollars . . . in Tajikistan, a former Soviet republic that has zero interest in floods of Afghan refugees crossing their border.
Earlier this week, Mary blogged about the shameful state of our own Southern border. The Biden administration apparently didn’t like the drone footage of thousands of illegal aliens crossing the border and then huddled under various bridges, so the FAA declared the area a no-drone zone. Because national security.
An intrepid Fox News reporter, an actual journalist named Bill Melugin, took troopers from Texas Department of Public Safety up on their offer of a helicopter ride to survey the disaster.
This was so newsworthy that the legacy and even the leftist media covered it. The Streisand effect was too much for this teetering administration, and within the day, the FAA had backtracked. Apparently, the national security threat posed by drones was magically over once it wasn’t only those anti-vax MAGA knuckle-draggers who watch Fox News seeing the dire situation at the border.
Melugin was back at the border Saturday, this time in a boat on the Rio Grande.
While the border situation in this country becomes more and more dangerous by the day, the Biden admin is laser-focused on the border . . . in Tajikistan.
While the Biden administration halted construction of the border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, the United States is funding border security efforts for Tajikistan, a former Soviet republic trying to keep Afghan insurgents and refugees out.One day after the Biden administration’s Aug. 31 deadline to withdraw from Afghanistan, the U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, announced that it had launched a project to construct new facilities for a Border Guard Detachment in Ayvoj, along the Tajik-Afghan-Uzbek border. That facility is designed to help Tajik security forces better respond to Afghans seeking to flee Taliban rule or insurgents seeking to cause mischief to its neighbor.While the announcement was largely overlooked by the U.S. media, Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) warned in August that it was “preposterous” for American tax dollars to be spent securing a foreign country’s border while the U.S. southern border remained wide open.. . . . “So we are clear: your tax money is spent building a wall and securing the border in Tajikistan and hydro-power in Afghanistan, but our borders are open and the last large hydro power plant built by Army Corp of Engineers in U.S. was in 1979,” Gosar said.
