El Paso Scrambled to Clean Up Migrants Before Presidential Visit
Joe Biden's visit to El Paso, TX, gets shadier and shadier with every passing day.
We knew they would paint a rosy picture, but the lengths to which they went to deceive the American people are pretty upsetting.
This reminds me of how my old boss at the hotel would react when we were told corporate was coming in two weeks to inspect the property and order a panic cleaning of the entire property, costs be damned.
Clean It Up
I need to say this again…
With all the bitching and moaning, and rightfully so, that El Paso officials have been doing, I cannot believe they went for this sham.
From the moment that Biden announced his visit to El Paso, Border Patrol and local police were working through the nights to round up every migrant in the city.
Because facilities were slammed, they were literally building tent cities around El Paso.
They did not want Joe to have a bad photo op, so the streets were cleared and cleaned, and migrants were stuffed back into holding facilities.
Maria Rodriguez, 23, from Venezuela, stated, "People are saying that if you are out in the streets the Border Patrol will get you and deport you because the President is coming to El Paso and they don't want to show him the reality of things.
"I hope we get shelter tonight because it took us a lot of courage to go out of that dumpster after three days…We just don't want to keep running. All we are asking is for one chance."
Rodriguez had made a trash dumpster her home for the last three days, which should give you an idea of what El Paso looked like before Biden arrived.
Joan Enriquez, 21, stated, "I really think politicians are playing with us.
"Both side, Democrats and Republicans. We are props to them because like Biden, he first said he wanted to help us, and then he shut the border down and we can't find a way to get legal in this country."
Well, she got it half right. Democrats are playing with them and using them as props. Republicans have always been adamant that they needed to come into the country legally or face deportation.
Then there was this tweet…
El Paso being cleaned up as if nothing unusual ever happened there. Just in time for Biden's "visit to the border".
We suggest just landing in Des Moines, Iowa and telling him it's El Paso. He'll never know the difference.

Even though we have NEVER heard of Border Patrol clearing a city like this, that is how the agency explained the cleanup operation.
A spokesperson for CBP stated, "CBP, which is responsible for securing the US border between ports of entry, uses a layered approach that included patrolling the border itself, nearby areas, and neighborhoods, and conducting checkpoints — both stationary and temporary.
"In response to migrants evading apprehension in the El Paso area, the United States Border Patrol has increased the number of agents patrolling the area."
It is all theater, my friends, nothing more.
