"Real Time" host Bill Maher roasted President Biden's drastic policy reversal at the border as a "disaster" for Democrats.
The Biden administration shocked the nation this week after Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas cited an "acute and immediate need" to waive 26 federal laws, including the Clean Air Act, Safe Drinking Water Act and Endangered Species Act to begin new border wall construction in the Starr County area of the Rio Grande Valley Sector.
This breaks one of the president's biggest campaign promises of not adding any more border wall, a structure former President Donald Trump had long championed.
During Friday night's panel discussion, Maher sounded the alarm.
"I feel like this is a disaster for the Democrats," Maher began. "Trump today said he wants Biden to apologize because it looks like Biden was adopting his policy. This does not look good for the Democrats."
He continued: "Also they look like sanctuary city hypocrites. They were the ones who said, 'Look, we're the compassionate people. Everybody should get a shot here.' And then when they started sending — I mean the quotes from Eric Adams, this is the mayor of liberal New York, ‘This issue will destroy our city.’ The governor [Kathy Hochul], 'If you're going to leave your country, go somewhere else.' Keep walking is from the governor of New York? They put out a flyer in New York City now, says, ‘New York is one of the most expensive cities in the world. You are better off going to a more affordable city'… I understand there's a little ‘I told you so’ on the border."
ABC News contributor Sarah Isgur responded by telling Maher it's "even worse" than what he described since Democrats would accuse Texas of being "racist" for decrying the migrant crisis.

AOC demands Biden ‘reverse course’ on border wall construction amid migrant surge: ‘Cruel policy’
No, he’s not.
Not one inch of wall will ever be built.
He’ll put a ring camera on a telephone pole on the border and call it a ‘virtual wall.”
Leaving the border open is a 'disaster for Democrats'
Have to pretend to care before the election.
Governor Abbott. Send a busload or two to arseho Maher.
He’s only pretending to adopt Trump’s policy.
So adopting a Trump policy is a disaster?
The real disaster was the election that ended the many Trump policies and led us on the pathway closer to Marxist domination over our formerly free lives in America.
Blue city RATS are claiming that Mr. Demento’s current Miggy policy is already a disaster for RATS.
He’s mistaken since Dems don’t actually believe in anything except their side winning . If Biden built an entire wall across the border we would see every Dem on television supporting him and saying how they ALWAYS wanted a wall but Trump was actually trying to stop them.
You are correct. Abortion rights for women is the only winning issue democRats have.
Yeah, "Texas" is racist because a few prog mayors and governors finally have to put up or shut up on a few illegal aliens.
And Lord knows how utterly impossible it is to get a damn prog to Shut. UP.
So LGB adopts the only action that will actually work and now he is catching it from other progs in the CCP-USA for doing what the prog mayors and governors are screeching for.
I bet PDJT is still laughing to himself over this latest clown show from the progs... as he should be.

Biden is NOT adopting Trump’s policy. Democrats and deep staters see the border wall as a funnel, not a barrier to deter illegal immigration. They want wetbacks to be funneled to ports of entry where they can be given IDs, working papers, cash assistance, health insurance, transportation to their choice destination and access to Section 8 housing. A Democrat border wall is just part of an overall plan to create millions of people dependent on government and our tax dollars. It is planned and intentional.
AFTER enough illegals came in to change the election.
Start sending bus loads of “migrants” to Bill Maher’s personal home. Let’s see how he reacts to hie personal invasion.
I want them camped on his lawn or inside the lobby of his fancy apartment. They are welcome to relieve themselves all they want there.
That is super. He even has a pool for them to bathe in and plenty od shade to stay cool.
He’s only pretending to adopt Trump’s policy.Exactly. Thus, Maher is either an idiot or a liar.
Doesn’t matter. The left’s tolerance for cognitive dissonance is high. Bill Maher’s tolerance for cognitive dissonance is high.
Here’s the left’s position on Biden and immigration:
Biden deserves the credit for completing the wall. But walls don’t work.
Biden needs to be commended for refusing to enforce inhumane immigration laws, and he was forced by law to resume construction of the wall.
And Biden needs to be praised for his refusal to yield to demands from the right on immigration and should be credited for his flexibility and willingness to compromise with Republicans.
