In the final weeks of the Biden administration, a series of controversial decisions and actions have raised eyebrows and sparked criticism. The administration's behavior has been described as frantic and almost as if preparing for an impending takeover by a foreign power.
One of the most contentious moves was the pardoning of Hunter Biden and approximately 1,500 others, including a former Pennsylvania judge involved in a scandal known as 'kids for cash.' Another questionable pardon was granted to Rita Crundwell, the former comptroller of Dixon, Illinois, who embezzled nearly $54 million from the town over two decades.
Furthermore, the administration has been selling off steel barriers intended for border security, a move seen as an attempt to complicate the incoming Trump team's efforts to secure the southern border. The use of drones over several states has also raised concerns, with the administration providing little information and fueling conspiracy theories.
On the immigration front, while some Democratic leaders have expressed willingness to cooperate with the incoming Trump administration on deportations, others have vowed to resist and 'Trump-proof' their cities and states. This stance has led to promises from the incoming administration to deploy teams to remove migrants from these jurisdictions.
A recent poll indicates a significant increase in support for deportations, even among nonwhite voters and Democrats. The Biden administration's approach in its final weeks has been criticized for ignoring public sentiment and behaving as if the election outcome favored them.
As the second Trump administration prepares to take office, there are expectations of significant policy changes and efforts to reverse the perceived damage caused by the Biden administration. The coming months are likely to see a focus on immigration and border security issues as the new administration seeks to address the concerns raised by its predecessor's actions.
