Biden’s Popular Move: Thanks to Trump Admin!
Biden Discovers a Winning Strategy: Embracing Trump’s Policies
President Joe Biden has stumbled onto a strategy that just might help him regain some of his lost popularity: Reinstitute former President Donald Trump’s policies.
Biden’s popularity has been underwater since August, with about 40.5 percent approving and 54.9 percent disapproving of his job performance right now, according to the Real Clear Politics average of polls.
Additionally, 63 percent disapprove of his immigration policies and approximately 33 percent approve, the RCP average shows.
A Rasmussen Reports survey published Thursday found that 73 percent of likely voters back Biden’s decision to renew construction of Trump’s border wall.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a Federal Register filing last week that there was an “acute and immediate need” for a wall.
“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 in the project areas,” Mayorkas said.
He cited the more than 245,000 illegal crossings in August as proof of the need for a wall.
The Washington Times reported Oct. 4 that Mayorkas was waiving “26 federal laws, including the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Eagle Protection Act and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act” to make it happen.
In the Rasmussen survey, 61 percent of respondents responded yes when asked whether “the Biden administration’s decision to allow border wall construction proves that Donald Trump was right about the need for a border wall.”
Further, “Eighty percent (80%) of voters believe the issue of immigration will be important in the 2024 presidential election, including 52% who think it will be Very Important. Just 16% say immigration won’t be an important issue in the election,” according to the poll.
The survey of 1,009 likely voters was conducted on Oct. 5 and Sunday through Monday. The margin of error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.
Trump — who is leading the 2024 GOP presidential race — warned in a Truth Social post on Monday, “The same people that raided Israel are pouring into our once beautiful USA, through our TOTALLY OPEN SOUTHERN BORDER, at Record Numbers. Are they planning an attack within our Country?”
The Biden administration’s reversal on border wall construction came after NBC News reported last month that 160 foreigners on the U.S. Terrorist Screening Dataset had been apprehended by the Border Patrol as of July. When U.S. citizens on the list are added, the total number is 216.
That compares with 165 in fiscal year 2022.
“The number of migrants from the Eastern Hemisphere more than doubled, from 110,000 in fiscal year 2022 to 228,000 so far in fiscal year 2023, the Homeland Threat Assessment said. The Eastern Hemisphere includes Africa and the Middle East, among other areas,” NBC News reported.
Real America’s Voice journalist Ben Bergquam reported Sunday that a Border Patrol agent in Lukeville, Arizona — on the U.S.-Mexico border about 150 miles southwest of Phoenix — told him agents were apprehending large numbers of migrants from Syria.
@BenBergquam: Just yesterday, border patrol said we are getting huge number of illegals from Syria to Lukeville, AZ right now.

Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin said in a social media post on Monday that during Trump’s last year in office, the total number of suspects from the FBI’s terrorist watchlist apprehended at the border was three.
Border Patrol arrests of suspects on the FBI’s terror watchlist at the southern border:
FY’23 – 151 (so far).
FY’22 – 98
FY’21 – 15
FY’20 – 3
FY’19 – 0
FY’18 – 6
FY’17 – 2There have also been over 1.5 million *known* gotaways since start of 2021, enough to fill 16 Rose Bowls.

Restarting Wall Construction: A Step in the Right Direction
Restarting wall construction is a good first move for Biden to begin getting the nation back on track.
Now he needs to follow that up with restoring Trump’s domestic production energy policies, as well as cutting back on government spending to combat inflation, and the country just might start to prosper again.

How do the recent Rasmussen Reports survey findings, which show majority support for Biden’s adoption of Trump’s border policies, indicate the importance of the immigration issue in the upcoming 2024 presidential election
E recent turn of events surrounding President Joe Biden’s approval ratings and his handling of certain policies has shed light on an unexpected strategy he has seemed to adopt: embracing former President Donald Trump’s policies. This shift in approach might just be what Biden needs to regain some of his lost popularity.
According to the Real Clear Politics average of polls, Biden’s approval rating has been underwater since August, with only about 40.5 percent of Americans approving of his job performance, while 54.9 percent disapprove. Moreover, his immigration policies have faced significant criticism, with 63 percent of people disapproving and only around 33 percent approving. These numbers are not favorable for the President.
However, a recent Rasmussen Reports survey published on Thursday provided an interesting insight. It revealed that 73 percent of likely voters support Biden’s decision to renew construction of Trump’s border wall. This contradicts Biden’s previous stance on the issue and aligns him with his predecessor. Furthermore, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas emphasized the urgent need for physical barriers and roads near the United States’ border to prevent unlawful entries. Mayorkas cited the staggering number of over 245,000 illegal crossings in August as evidence of this necessity.
To make the border wall construction possible, Mayorkas waived 26 federal laws, including significant ones such as the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Eagle Protection Act, and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. This move, reported by The Washington Times on October 4, has sparked a debate but has also garnered approval from a majority of respondents in the Rasmussen survey. 61 percent of participants agreed that the Biden administration’s decision supports Trump’s perspective on the importance of a border wall.
Interestingly, the same Rasmussen survey revealed that 80 percent of voters believe that immigration will be an important issue in the 2024 presidential election, with 52 percent considering it “Very Important.” This finding indicates that the topic will continue to influence public opinion and political preferences.
The survey, conducted from October 5 to Monday, questioned 1,009 likely voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
These recent developments are notable, as Trump himself points out the dangers of an open southern border. In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump raised concerns about the increasing number of people entering the United States and questioned whether they might be planning an attack within the country. While his statement may be seen as politically motivated, it adds to the ongoing discussions and debates concerning border security.
In conclusion, President Biden’s adoption of certain Trump policies, particularly his decision to continue construction of the border wall, has received support from the majority of Americans. This unexpected strategy could potentially help him regain popularity and address the concerns surrounding his immigration policies. As the issue of immigration remains a key topic for voters, it will likely continue to shape political dynamics and influence the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
