Futile exercises are often likened to “closing the barn door after the horse is gone.” Joe Biden’s belated efforts to mitigate his destruction of our southern border are akin to shutting it after a herd of Trojan horses have gotten in. 

Suddenly, as Democratic politicians repudiate previous commitments to make their constituencies sanctuaries for countless people euphemistically called “undocumented migrants” in favor of curbing services for “illegal aliens” and preventing further arrivals, Team Biden is channeling Donald Trump by building border walls and deporting Venezuelans. 

Such disastrously belated policy reversals will likely prove too little, too late to prevent massive electoral repudiation of open border candidates. Thank heavens, the owners of America’s “barn” are insisting on new management.
