As soon as President Joe Biden took office, the number of foreigners crossing the southern U.S. border illegally exploded. When asked about it in his first press conference in March 2021, Biden brushed it off, saying “this happens every year” and “nothing has changed.”
Later that same month, Biden claimed that “this new surge we’re dealing with now started with the last administration, but it’s our responsibility to deal with it humanely and to — and to stop what’s happening.”
At his State of the Union address this year, he said that “if we are to advance liberty and justice, we need to secure the border and fix the immigration system.”
As recently as June, Biden was claiming to be on top of this crisis, saying that “as we speak, Mexico and the United States are conducting what is known as ‘mirror patrols’ — joint operations to interdict criminals attempting to illegally move drugs and migrants across our borders.”
He wasn’t the only one throwing smoke. Vice President Kamala Harris in June 2021 had this to say: “I am immensely proud to lead the workforce — the men and women of DHS — in executing our responsibility to secure the border.” She claimed to be tackling the “root causes” of illegal immigration.
And who can forget the many times that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas asserted that the “border is secure” — a lie he repeated as recently as July.
This chart proves that everything Biden, Harris, and Mayorkas have said about tackling the border crisis were flagrant lies. The chart compares monthly “apprehensions” at the border under Biden with the average monthly apprehensions from 2012 through 2020.

The truly shocking thing about this turn of events is that the mainstream press has let Biden get away with it. They have zero interest in the border, or did, at least, until the Texas and Arizona governors started busing a handful of the 2 million who’ve crossed over to New York and Washington, D.C.
When those cities got a tiny whiff of what border states have been suffering, suddenly it was a problem. Not that illegals were invading the country, but that they were being forced to cope with it at all.

Gov. Abbott has exposed their hypocrisy by bussing a few of the migrants to DC and New York. I think he should also be shipping them to Deleware and Martha's Vinyard and other liberal hot spots.
James Freeman: President Obama's $825 billion (and counting) "stimulus" is steamrolling through Congress. One group of conservative Republicans is betting that it will only worsen the country's economic plight. That's where the House Republican Study Committee comes in. "No Trillion Dollar Spending Spree" is the message from this conservative caucus. Led by its new chairman, Rep. Tom Price of Georgia, the RSC now counts more than 100 House Republicans among its members. Mr. Price calls the Democrats' proposal "the non-stimulus plan" and says it "simply won't work" because it offers no market incentives to create jobs. What the plan does offer are multibillion-dollar gifts to state governments, teachers unions, and the environmental lobby, with such gems as a $6 billion program to "weatherize modest-income homes." In contrast, Mr. Price and company have drawn up their own plan, the "Economic Recovery and Middle...
WND: The Irish-born filmmaking couple Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinny are known for their film "Gosnell," which exposed the seamy underside of the abortion industry by turning transcripts and evidence from the trial of the Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell into a cinematic drama. Now, in yet another effort to counter a conventional narrative with first-hand evidence, they're about to release "Obamagate: The Movie," showing how the Obama administration tried to take down Donald Trump.They turned gripping testimony from the 2014 Michael Brown case into a play, called "Ferguson." And lately they did the same with the infamous texts of FBI agent Peter Strzok and bureau lawyer Lisa Page in "FBI Lovebirds: Undercovers," starring Dean Cain and Kristy Swanson. "We would be unemployed if the media did its job," McAleer told WND in an interview. "They're not reporting spin anymore," he said of the establ...
