Yes, he actually bragged that he was good on the border issue.
Here is the jaw-dropping remark:
"Despite everything you read, despite the fact that COVID drove migration to record levels all around the world, the day I left office, border crossings into the United States were lower than the day that I entered that office”
Uh, COVID REDUCED immigration, it did not increase it. THAT was the only thing that kept the numbers from being even higher.
As the NY Post article points out:
An average of about 2.4 million migrants poured into the country every year of Biden’s only term in office — most crossing into the US illegally.
In the first three months of Biden’s stint in the White House, the surge in border crossings had already surpassed any record from the previous Trump administration.
The former president only moved to shut the border near the tail end of the 2024 campaign.
And if he was stopping illegal immigration why was he flying illegals into the country? And why to red states like Florida or Texas? Why did he do nothing to pressure Mexico into stopping those caravans?
The reality is we were overrun during his Administration and now he hopes to rehabilitate his legacy. And he will if the MAGA movement falters; eventually, like Jimmy Carter, the media will make him into a good man, a solid President overwhelmed by events outside of his control. They did that with Carter (which was not true) and they will try to do that with Biden. As things stand now Biden was the worst President in American history. But once the revisionism gets into full swint that honor will be handed to Donald J. Trump, even if he finds a cure for old age.
