The United States, under President Joe Biden, is sailing into uncharted waters. Democrats, for much of the past half century, have leaned in the direction of moving the United States toward the Scandinavian model of the “nanny state,” in which citizens surrender some of their freedoms and significant chunks of their paychecks in exchange for cradle-to-grave security. It represents a social restructuring that the majority of Americans, who envision Venezuela rather than Sweden, continue to chafe at.

While the concept of the nanny state remains anathema to most Americans, the Biden administration is way beyond the point of making government responsible for solving all the problems and meeting all the needs of its citizens. In its first five months in power, it has implemented policies that essentially declare that the United States will be responsible for solving the problems of the rest of the world and meeting all the needs of their citizens.

One of Biden’s first acts in office was to declare that the United States was prepared to assume responsibility for any child, from any country on earth, who reaches our borders. In spite of unprecedented flows of unaccompanied children arriving at our borders, the president remains steadfast that they will be allowed to stay and that all of their needs will be provided for by the American government.

In June, the Biden administration took that commitment one step further by reinstating and expanding the Central American Minors (CAM) program, under which the United States not only admits children from that region, but provides the transportation to get them here. While the children who will arrive under CAM have parents or guardians in this country (most of them here illegally), these newly arriving kids will effectively be wards of the state with American taxpayers covering the costs of education, health care, housing and other needs.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
