If the Border Crisis were not so severe and negatively impacting every state in this country, the insane comments by Karine Jeanne-Pierre would be comical. KJP stands before the apparently dazed White House correspondents, bats her eyelids, which is her tell that she is lying, points her finger, and goes into her forceful, condescending tone of authority. She then proclaims that Joe Biden has done all he can from the White House to create a secure Border that treats all illegal aliens with respect and humanity and retains the safety of every American city. Wow. Where do we begin to refute every false word of her statement?

Let’s stipulate the only fact in her statement and get that out of the way. Joe Biden is President. That’s it. Everything else should be challenged, yet not a single person in the room raised a hand for a follow-up question. This lack of effort is the shame that is our news media. It is because of this deficiency that the Biden Administration is so comfortable lying to the American public.

To the Democrats, these actions are their ace in the hole for 2024. They have to keep up this facade and illusion that Biden, all the way down to Karine Jeanne-Pierre, has been perpetuating. To suddenly acknowledge the obvious results would be to admit to failure. The Dems have to be complicit in this play or turn the White House and maybe the Senate over the MAGA crowd.

The President never has, nor will, do anything to curb the flow of illegals through our Southern Border and now also through the North. Biden sees it as more humanitarian to subject women and children to the brutality of the Cartel than to close the Border. As far as the safety of American cities, even the Liberal mayors of sanctuary cities like New York are turning on the President. Mayor Adams, who the President has ignored, is using the power of New York’s budget to rile up support. By cutting the budgets of Education and other critical departments to fund the cost of the alien influx, he is getting the attention of New Yorkers and the national media. Even the Mayor of Ultra-Liberal Chicago is sounding the alarm for help from Washington. These Mayors are doing this for their cities but more for self-preservation. They will not go down with him if Biden loses in November.

Secretary of State Blinkin and DHS Secretary Mayorkas went to Mexico this week for a photo-op to show that Biden is working on the Border issue. It is a sham visit. There is nothing Blinkin and Mayorkas can offer Mexico that will overcome the Cartel’s control over the Mexican Government. Biden’s disastrous policies, or lack of such, at the Border, have been a boom for the Cartel, and they have gained significant power over the last three years. We no longer have the bargaining power that Trump had to get cooperation from Mexico. So maybe KJP is right when she says Biden has done all he can. Biden has so damaged the balance of power at the Border, we may never be able to secure it without force.
