There isn't any greater disconnect than the Biden administration's gaslighting vs. the maddening train wreck they've created.
We'll start with this State Department reminder about what you'll need when traveling: Don't be THAT person:
Travel - State Dept (@TravelGov) ~ Your journey of a thousand miles begins with a valid passport. Don't be THAT traveler—check the expiration date before you book travel. #ReadyCheckGo
In a sane world, the above tweet would just be a common-sense truth. However, as usual with this bunch, some disclaimers are necessary:
Cassandra (@CassyWearsHeels) ~ Do illegal immigrants need valid passports?
CJ Likes Rocks (@cjhobs84) ~ What if I come across the southern border illegally ... would I need a passport then? Asking for about 8M people.
Cesare Borgia (@SirCesareBorgia) ~ Unless you're trying to illegally move to the USA. Then you're advised to toss your passport into the Rio Grande before crossing over.
Yep. And they wonder why increasing numbers of legal U.S. citizens have had enough of this BS.
Kate Hyde (@KateHydeNY) ~ This only pertains to those of us legally in the country, of course.
Apparently that's true:
Sensurround (@ShamashAran) ~
AutummLeaf (@Sadesa212) ~ Not true, illegals enter without a passport.
Steak for Breakfast (@SteakforPodcast) ~ Can I just write “NAME / NAME” on a manila folder and fly for free like all the illegal aliens are? ✈️
OneLove1776 (@oneLove177617) ~ So I gotta pay to update my passport, but illegals can fly all over the country without even having ID?
Have we had enough of this yet?
Roko’s Basilisk (@asdadsays) ~ The replies to this make me proud to be an American.
There IS hope for the future!
Fox News' Bill Melugin helped highlight the "non-citizens without passports" line last month:
Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) ~ Flying out of Tucson airport tonight and the terminal is full of illegal immigrants released into the US with their DHS paperwork. Airport personnel are directing them into a specific “immigration line” at security while all other passengers go thru regular line. I likely saw some of these people crossing illegally in Lukeville this week.
Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) ~ Another immigration line in a separate terminal instructing non-US citizens only to enter there.
Pissed off yet? You should be.
