The Biden administration appears to be playing a game of hide-and-seek with the American public when it comes to the border crisis, and it’s becoming increasingly obvious that they need a reality check. The “worst mass migration border crisis in American history” is a title that seems to fit like a well-tailored suit, yet President Biden and his team keep dodging the serious discussions that need to take place. What better way to shine a light on the administration’s ineptitude than by forming a bipartisan national congressional commission?
Somewhere in Washington, there seems to be a thick cloud of denial hanging over the Oval Office, and it’s suffocating productive dialogue about the crisis at the southern border. The numbers don’t lie: record-breaking waves of migrants are storming across the border, and while many Americans are left wondering about the safety and security of their communities, the Biden White House is mum on the details. A bipartisan commission could finally bring clarity to a situation that’s spiraled so far out of control that even a seasoned juggler wouldn’t touch it.

Forming a commission isn’t just a good idea; it’s a necessity. Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle agree that a comprehensive review of the migration crisis is overdue, yet here we are, stuck in a cycle of worry and confusion. Members of Congress of all stripes could get together, regardless of their occasional disagreements on other issues, to tackle the most pressing concerns about border security, immigration policies, and the implications for American citizens. After all, what do they have to lose except more sleep?
The benefits of a bipartisan commission could be myriad. Not only would it finally hold the administration accountable for its handling (or mishandling) of the border crisis, but it could also provide a platform for key insights that have been sorely lacking. Rather than the usual political theater that can often resemble a circus, a dedicated group of elected officials could take a serious, fact-based approach to the issues at hand. Refreshing, right?
In these trying times, Americans deserve answers instead of crickets chirping in response to real questions. A bipartisan commission could cut through the fog of misinformation and bring forth solutions that reflect the concerns of everyday citizens. Let’s face it: if the current administration continues its path of complacency, Americans may find themselves navigating a crisis far beyond immigration, and that’s a road nobody wants to travel.
