Biden administration lies about the border

 NY Post:

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas issued a warning to those crossing into the United States illegally on Monday, telling migrants their “journey will not succeed.”

“If you come to the United States illegally, you will be returned. Your journey will not succeed and you will be endangering your life and your family’s lives. This administration is committed to developing safe, orderly and humane pathways for migration. This is not the way to do it,” he said while visiting Del Rio, Texas.

Mayorkas’ warning comes after five days during which more than 12,000 illegal migrants — most of them Haitians — camped underneath the Del Rio International Bridge after crossing the Rio Grande into Texas from Mexico. Lack of security measures along the river and low Border Patrol manpower led to hundreds crossing back and forth over the river, sparking security concerns among local and state officials.

Mayorkas emphasized that the “borders are not open, and people should not make the dangerous journey,” adding that some migrants might be under the impression they can get Temporary Protected Status, which is limited to those who arrived in the US before July 29.

“I want to make sure that it is known that this is not the way to come to the United States. That is false information,” he said. “Irregular migration poses a serious security risk to the migrants themselves. Trying to enter the United States illegally is not worth the tragedy, the money or the effort.”

The massive influx of migrants was further in the spotlight last week after the Federal Aviation Administration implemented a two week flight restriction over Del Rio, effectively hindering any media outlets from using drones to capture footage of the situation.

Some Republican lawmakers slammed the Biden administration for “hiding” the crisis rather than addressing it.

“We know what they’re doing and they are not getting away with it. Restricting and blocking the media’s drones over the Del Rio bridge proves that the Administration is fully aware of the crisis they have created,” Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) said in a statement.

This is more politics of fraud from the Biden administration.  It has deliberately opened the border in violation of US laws in an effort to change the demographics of the country to more favor Democrats.  Biden is putting many of these people in the Red States to try to eventually change the voting patterns to favor the evils of liberalism.  For the administration to now claim that they are not opening the border does not pass the giggle test.

Failures: Most hit Biden, media for border disaster

 Seven in 10 now view the chaos on the U.S.-Mexico border as “a crisis” and blame President Joe Biden and the media for it.

In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey, even majorities of Democrats and liberals fault Biden and the media for the unfolding disaster, which is most pronounced along the Rio Grande in Texas.

This probably explains why the administration is lying about its policy now.
