Lloyd Austin, the Defense Secretary, is once again making headlines, but not for the right reasons. As the border crisis worsens by the day under the Biden administration’s watch, Austin has decided it’s the perfect time to jet off to Africa for a little trip. How nice for him.
Austin’s travel plans include stops in Djibouti, Kenya, and Angola, where he will meet with U.S. military personnel and U.S. allies in the region. According to a Pentagon travel advisory, Austin will express his appreciation for their service and dedication to promoting peace and security. It’s ironic that Austin is praising security overseas while our own southern border is in chaos. Maybe he’ll bring back some tips on how to secure a border, although it’s doubtful he’ll actually use them.
The Biden Border Crisis continues to rage on, with thousands of illegal aliens pouring into the country unchecked. One has to wonder when the Biden administration will take action and deploy U.S. troops to the border. But with Biden at the helm and Mayorkas in charge of Homeland Security, it’s unlikely that any real solutions will be implemented. The term “homeland security” has become a joke under their leadership.
Austin’s trip is supposedly meant to reinforce security partnerships with African nations and promote regional solutions to security issues. But what does this have to do with the United States? According to President Biden, democracy is our best tool to face global challenges. It’s a nice sentiment, but what about the challenges we face at our own border? Maybe Austin can find some answers in Africa, although it’s doubtful.

It seems like the entire Biden administration is more focused on international affairs than the issues facing our own country. Secretary of State Blinken recently met with West African leaders to discuss a political crisis in Niger. It’s great that we’re showing support for other countries, but what about our own?
All in all, it’s just another example of the Biden administration’s misplaced priorities. While our border remains unsecured and our country faces numerous challenges, Austin is off on an African adventure. It’s clear where their allegiances lie, and it’s not with the American people.
