Biden socializes with billionaires in Manhattan as border crisis worsens.
Immigrants Massing on America’s Southern Border as Title 42 Expires
President Joe Biden is rolling back Title 42, the pandemic-era rule that made it easier to expel immigrants encountered at the border. The rule expires at midnight on May 11, and as a result, immigrants are massing on America’s southern border.
What Are They Saying?
“We are not prepared,” said Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I., Ariz.) on Sunday. “The Biden administration had two years to prepare for this and did not do so, and [Arizona] is going to bear the brunt, and migrants will be in crisis.”
“We anticipate that we may experience increased levels of arrivals at our southern border in the coming weeks,” wrote Biden’s homeland security chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, in a staff-wide memo last month. “This will strain our workforce, our communities, and our entire system.”
What Is Biden Doing About It?
As Title 42 is set to expire, President Biden is attending a pair of fundraisers in Manhattan on Wednesday evening. He is reportedly hoping to raise as much as $3 million for his reelection campaign.
Who Are Hosting the Fundraisers?
The first fundraiser is being hosted by former Blackstone executive Hamilton “Tony” James at the Fifth Avenue duplex he purchased for $25 million in 2011. Tickets start at $25,000 a head.
Greek shipping magnate George Logothetis will host the second fundraiser at his $12.5 million mansion on the Upper East Side. He raised money for Obama as well and was rewarded with an invite to the White House state dinner for then-Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe in 2015.
Who Else Is Going?
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is expected to tag along.
What About Kamala?
No way. Biden’s team is still trying (and failing) to boost her abysmal approval ratings.
She’s not very likable, is she? No, she is not.
