So the Biden administration is faced with this crisis on the border. They're apparently trying to empty this thing out as fast as possible. It's like Gavin Newsom emptying out all the freeway underpasses right before the recall election. All the homeless people are back, by the way. I'm in California right now. And I just went and checked under the freeway underpasses. They are all back because Gavin Newsom was not, in fact, recalled. So Joe Biden is doing the same thing at the southern border. Apparently, a lot of the southern border area under the Del Rio Bridge was cleared, but there's still about 5,000 people who apparently are staying there, according to Politico, a report from Renuka Ryassum over at Politico, saying that things are winding down. There are still 5,000 people in the camp. It's much lower than the 15,000-person peak. Mexico has cracked down on the Acuna side, so it'll be difficult for more people to show up. I guess maybe by the beginning of next week, there will be very few people left, if any, but it's still a zoo because there are so many people, It's hard for volunteers to keep up. He said, I met some asylum seekers at the airport. They said they would be sleeping on the bench. I gave them the number to the Haitian Bridge lines to see if they could help them find accommodations. They said there's nothing in a hundred mile radius. They have the money to buy a hotel room, but no options. They've been sleeping on the street. So things are obviously going really, really well over at the southern border.

And the Biden administration has come up with a solution.

They're going to blame it on the horses. So you remember, over the past several days,

there's been this myth that Border Patrol was going around and whipping Haitian migrants,

like whipping them, like taking whips and hitting them with the whips, like slave patrols or

something. Well, as it turned out, those are called horse reins, and you use them when you are riding a

horse. As I said yesterday, I may not be much of a cowboy, but I've seen enough cowboy movies to know

what it looks like when you hit a horse on the flanks with the reins of the horse. Apparently, the Biden administration,

however, has fallen full scale into the narrative that the border patrol here are the bad guys.

And so they've decided there will be no more horse patrols. They're actually spending one

of the parts of the border patrol that actually polices the border in the middle of a border

crisis in order to satiate the idiotic media who's parts of the border patrol that actually polices the border in the middle of a border crisis

in order to satiate the idiotic media who don't know how horses work.

Nick Mirov over at the Washington Post reports, the Biden administration has now directed

U.S. border officials to suspend patrols by agents on horseback in the Del Rio, Texas migrant

camp.
