Biden’s Border Lies

As President Biden was leaving the White House yesterday, he took a few questions from reporters. One asked Biden if had done everything he could through executive authority to secure the border.

It was an unusual exchange because Biden spoke with strength and in complete sentences. Mostly. He said:

“I’ve done all I can do. Just give me the power. I’ve asked from the very day I got into office. Give me the Border Patrol. Give me the people — give me the people, the judges. Give me the people who can stop this and make it work right.”

His statement was parsed and perfectly articulated -- with one little problem. Literally every word he yelled with such conviction and passion was a complete lie. Not one syllable reflected reality.

He has not done all he can through executive authority to fix the border.

He did not act on Day One to fix the border. He did the exact opposite.

He promised throughout his campaign to open the border, and he fulfilled that promise on Day One by repealing the executive orders Donald Trump issued to secure the border.

On his first day in office, Joe Biden stopped construction of the border wall.

He doesn’t want more Border Patrol agents to stop the influx of illegal aliens. He wants more Border Patrol agents to more quickly process millions of illegal aliens.

You have to tip your hat. Even in his current physical and mental state, this man has the ability to lie with passion if you dare to question him. The reason he can do it so effectively is because he’s done it his entire political career. It is part of who he is.

Biden lives on the “big lie.” He is most comfortable interacting with people when he is sure of the lie he wants to tell, and he will do it no matter how much it harms the country.

And the American media, which is no longer a free press committed to actual journalism, almost universally refuses to correct his lies. In fact, they are much more likely to amplify them.
