Biden Claims He Brought Down Illegal Crossings, Wanted More ‘Secret Service’ on Border
President Joe Biden got testy with reporters again. He claimed illegal border crossings “came way down” under his administration.
Biden also insisted he “pushed very hard” to “put more Secret Service agents” on the border:
Look, let’s get something on my mind about the border. When I became president, the numbers came way down, number one. Number two, we had a circumstance where I pushed very hard for a bipartisan agreement, to put more people on the border, more — more Secret Service agents. And guess what? He’s on the phone saying don’t do it, don’t it, to make me look bad.
Fox News’s Bill Melugin unleashed on Biden on the Guy Benson Show:
I honestly don’t even know what to say to that. It is such an alternate reality. That it’s just jaw dropping he would make such a claim.Look, everybody knows it’s not true. The data shows it’s not true. As soon as he took office, they shot up like a rocket ship. We had back to back to back, three years in a row, the highest illegal crossings ever recorded, the highest gotaways ever recorded, the highest migrant dents [?] ever recorded.No matter how you slice it, all you have to do is look at the CBP data, the DHS data, the DHS that is run by him and his administration, I might add, showing that the numbers went back to back to back, the highest levels ever recorded under his presidency.And he did not attempt a bipartisan border bill until over three years into the crisis when it became an election year. That’s the only time they attempted to do anything. Then he finally signed in an executive order. And what happened? The numbers finally came down, something he could have done from the very beginning.That’s the first I heard of him making those comments. I was not aware of that. And I’m having trouble picking my jaw off the floor.
