Biden-Harris Admin Turning Migrants into Voting US Citizens at 'Fastest Speed in Years' as Election Draws Closer

It’s almost like they couldn’t make it any more obvious.

In an election where razor-thin margins could determine who controls the White House, Senate, and House, the Los Angeles Times reported that “a wave of new U.S. citizens” is “being sworn in across the country as immigration authorities approve citizenship applications at the fastest speed in a decade.”

This might seem like a curious coincidence, which, as the L.A. Times insisted, it was: “The Biden administration says the uptick in new citizens is due to efforts to reduce a backlog of applications that began during the Trump administration and exploded amid the COVID-19 pandemic,” the paper reported Thursday from a naturalization ceremony in Riverside, California.

It added: “Immigration officials said the timing is not driven by the election or any political agenda.”

However, even the Times had to mention that “American flags lined the stage as messages conveying the immigrants’ new power played on a large screen.”

“Today, I am an American. Today, I am a citizen of the country I serve. Today, I can register to vote,” the message read.

Just coincidental. Move along, folks. Seriously, move along or else this becomes disinformation, as the Times pointed out:

“Former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies have long repeated baseless claims that Democrats are admitting immigrants into the U.S. for political gain and allowing them to vote unlawfully,” the Times said in the article.

“The issue even made its way into the government spending bill this month when House Speaker Mike Johnson tried unsuccessfully to insert a GOP proposal to require states to obtain proof of U.S. citizenship when people register to vote.”

“This is not part of some master conspiracy to flood the country with new Democratic voters. There’s a lot of statistics that show many immigrants share more in common with Republican values,” said Xiao Wang, the co-founder of a company that helps immigrants navigate the system.

That may be true, but with 4 million immigrants gaining citizenship since the 2020 election and citizenship applications being processed at what can only be described as a blinding pace given government bureaucracy, those quoted by the Times also couldn’t help but notice how these immigrants — especially in border states — might tip election scales, even if California isn’t in play.

“In Arizona, we keep talking about how there’s a 10,000-vote margin of victory,” said Nicole Melaku, the executive director of the National Partnership for New Americans.

A few paragraphs later: “New citizens broadly skew Democratic, though the National Partnership’s poll showed a range of political leanings. About 54% of respondents said they’d vote for Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, while 38% said they’d vote for Trump.”

Moreover: “The average processing time for a citizenship application was cut in half from a record high of 11.5 months in 2021 to 4.9 months this fiscal year, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services data through July 31. A decade ago in 2014, it also took 4.9 months on average to process a citizenship application … The speedier processing is the result of an effort by the Biden administration to cut through the backlog.”

So, frontloading the story were mentions of “no political agenda” and “baseless claims” by the GOP about demographics favoring the Democrats. Wade down a few paragraphs, and you get the “yes, but…”

And it’s not like people didn’t notice — including Elon Musk, head of Tesla, SpaceX, and X/Twitter:

Right, but you can’t say it’s obvious. Unless, of course, you’re established enough to bear the consequences and are beyond caring about what people think. (See: Musk, Elon.)

It isn’t conspiratorial to notice that the attention and resources of the federal government, such as they may be, seem to go in specific directions. Speaking of “baseless claims,” let’s revisit the situation in Springfield, Ohio — where a town overwhelmed by Haitian migrants who received Temporary Protected Status mostly under Joe Biden’s administration has overwhelmed both city and state services, and the governor was left pleading for the Biden administration's help.

In 2021, Harris spoke proudly of fast-tracking TPS for Haitian migrants, presumably on behalf of the Biden administration. Three years later, we have the governor of Ohio begging D.C. for funds to deal with the crisis and strange, likely untrue stories spreading about the effects on house pets — while on the other side of the country, there's a feel-good narrative about how the feds have somehow found resources to fast-track citizenship for a group that just happens to vote heavily Democratic.

These aren’t “baseless claims.” It’s about observing what gets attention and making fundamental assumptions about why. Maybe it’s overt, or maybe it’s just a matter of subconscious preferences. Fast-tracking citizenship while ignoring Springfield, the border crisis, rising crime rates, or other issues involves making a decision on where to focus.

Assumptions based on a government’s priorities don’t involve invoking “baseless claims.” It’s simply observing the inconvenient.
