When did Biden ever say the borders were open?
Here is reality, to answer your fantasy question:
Of course, Biden is not going to admit the borders are wide open.
Biden’s Open-Border Policies Fuel Record-Breaking Surge of Illegal Crossings
WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) today discussed how the Biden administration’s disastrous open-border policies have enabled out-of-control illegal immigration and created an unprecedented humanitarian and security crisis at the southern border. Thune noted that there were more than 2 million individuals apprehended attempting to illegally cross the southern border in the last fiscal year alone, the highest number ever recorded.
“Mr. President, last Friday, President Biden said the following during a speech: ‘And we have a process in place to manage migrants at the border. We’re working to make sure it’s safe and orderly and humane.’
“Mr. President, in case the president isn’t clear about what’s happening at the border, let me just read from one news story from last week – this one from NBC News.
“‘A new surge of migrants … is overwhelming the Border Patrol and shelters in El Paso, Texas, where nearly 1,000 have been released near bus stations over the past week in hope that they will find their own way to their next destinations in the U.S.’
“Here’s the title of another, a grim news article from last week: ‘Texas border town requests refrigerators to store migrant bodies after drownings overwhelm mortuaries.’
“‘Texas border town requests refrigerators to store migrant bodies after drownings overwhelm mortuaries.’
“And yet another news outlet reported: ‘El Paso County Sheriff sounds alarms over Border Patrol overwhelmed due to migrants.’
“That article goes on to say, and I quote: ‘Sheriff Richard Wiles stated Thursday, ‘This incident raises a law enforcement concern because Border Patrol is so overwhelmed, undocumented immigrants may be released into communities with minimal or no screening.’’
“In the fiscal year 2021, U.S. Customs and Border Protection apprehended more than 1.7 million individuals attempting to cross our southern border illegally – the highest number of apprehensions ever recorded.
“And as for the fiscal year 2022 – well, we exceeded last year’s record-breaking number of apprehensions in June.
“The final count of apprehensions for the fiscal year 2022 will be well over 2 million.
“And, Mr. President, those numbers only count migrants who were actually apprehended.
“Mr. President, does any of this make the situation at the border sound safe, orderly, or humane?
