White House Rejects Blame For Deadly Migrant Smuggling Event In Texas, Says Border Is ‘Closed’
Daily Caller ^ | 06/28/2022 | Jennie Taer

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre rejected criticism from Republicans that the Biden administration is to blame for the human smuggling attempt that ended in tragedy Monday in Texas, saying that the border is “closed.”

At least 46 people are dead after an 18-wheeler smuggling migrants was found in San Antonio, Texas, on Monday night. It’s one of the deadliest smuggling incidents from the U.S.-Mexico border in recent decades, according to the Associated Press.

“The fact of the matter is, the border is closed, which is in part why you see people trying to make this dangerous journey using smuggling networks. Forty-six people died in the state of Texas…. Their families are still learning they lost loves ones… We’re focused on them, on the facts and on holding the human smugglers who endangered vulnerable individuals for profit accountable,” Jean-Pierre told reporters on Air Force One Tuesday, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted Monday that “[t]hese deaths are on Biden,” but Jean-Pierre dismissed blame for the “absolutely horrific and heartbreaking” event.

Then how is it that Texas is bussing illegal aliens to the D.C. on a regular basis if the border is “closed”?

Gee, if our southern border is CLOSED, I can only imagine the number of illegals entering our country if the border is OPEN.

Well, Joey, if the border is closed, a whole truck-load of them got through . . . and DIED . . . because of YOU, you serial liar!!!!

Biden’s open borders are bad for our citizens for a variety of reason. But it is bad for the illegal immigrants as well.

“The Border Is Closed”

Everything a democrat says, the opposite is the actual truth.

I cannot stand it. Just can’t. This humiliation HAS to be intentional.

Has to be.

The border was opened back up the day Senile Joe was sworn in.

Getting the flow of illegal aliens going again is why BOTH parties cheated him into office.

Stolen elections are direct consequence of not upholding the Constitution and allowing an ineligible British subject/Kenyan from Indonesia into the White House.

So that’s why Kamala never found the border: she was looking for a big, neon OPEN sign and didn’t see it since the border is closed

Same here. Theodore darylymple or soe,the g like that said that it is itnentional, and the more rediculous they act, the better they like it because they feel like they are forcing people to accept such humiliating and demeaning crap that the left spews. It’s a form of gaslighting. A form of mental abuse really.
