Democratic President Joe Biden took credit for a report of decreased illegal immigration and faced fierce backlash on social media.
The post on X attributed to Biden claimed that "unlawful" border crossings had dropped by 60%. The Biden administration has been heavily criticized over lax border policies that led to a historic surge of illegal immigration. Some blame the results of the election on concerns over illegal alien crime.
"Following the executive actions we took to secure our border, unlawful crossings have dropped over 60%. They’re lower than the last several months of the previous administration," read the Biden statement.
"Republicans in Congress wanted to play politics with the border. We fought to fix it," he added.
Many on social media saw the statement as an attempt to rewrite history and gloss over the failed policies of the Biden administration.
"Only the profoundly mentally disabled could possibly believe this horse s***," replied comedian Anthony Cumia.
"Biden waited until an election year before he even paid lip service to securing our border. The Biden era will forever be marked by the worst border crisis in US history. His apathy has ruined lives and left our nation open to attack from our adversaries," responded Rep. Pat Fallon (R-Texas).
"He waited 3.5 years to implement these policies, and only did so reluctantly because of pressure from the electorate to do something about the border crisis," said Chuck Ross of the Free Beacon.
"I don’t know which blue-haired lesbian intern at the whitehouse has the X login today, but it’s wayyyy too late to improve the legacy of the worst president in American history. Stop the lies," responded Pastor Ryan Visconti.
"There’s no amount of revisionist history that will make anyone believe @POTUS on border security. Truth is since February of 2021, well over 9 million people illegally crossed the southern border," replied Kent Strang of Americans for Prosperity.
Trump has promised to institute mass deportations to alleviate the crisis of illegal immigration.
If he wasn’t braindead that would be an epic troll.
“I don’t know which blue-haired lesbian intern at the whitehouse has the X login today, but it’s wayyyy too late to improve the legacy of the worst president in American history. Stop the lies,” responded Pastor Ryan Visconti.

Which blue-haired lesbian intern came up with this idea?
I’m surprised he can find his back.
BlueSky liberals actually believe this stuff.
He is simply showing his insolent disregard for the truth, and his contempt for the American people. Turns on the firehose, let’s it run, three and a half years later he turns it down a bit and expects a medal for water conservation.
Now, if only Joe were limber enough to kick himself in the behind. There is no shortage of reasons.
Same as when things went well during Trump 45. O claimed credit. Biden is just getting the jump on things this time around.
Taking credit for the work or product of other people is what this Robinette cretin has been doing his whole life. Anyone that has been paying attention knows why there’s been a decrease in illegals invading. It’s not rocket science... except to some. As usual, the Democrats pander to the stupidest among their constituents... the only ones that will believe their lies.
He’s counting all the people who shout “amnestía” and get free plane tickets from the US government at foreign airports as legal immigrants.
Lots of Americans would also like to pat PedoJoe on the back. Perhaps a number of inches lower, and with the toe of their boot.
I share said sentiment only for Justin(e) Castreau, the Crime Minister of Canaduh.
13 more days of Biden Bullship. Hold fast!
If illegal border crossings is down it’s because the Biden Administration is flying them in.
Now that he is flying them in with a phone app they aren’t illegal anymore. Democrat logic
Thought he loved illegal immigrants.
More likely down because of Texas efforts to block the border !
That they opposed !!!
That old fart beat illegal immigration like he ‘beat Medicare.’
I don’t think it’s “blue-haired” anything at all. If you look at the pictures of the WH staff, they’re all in their 20s it seems like. Someone who is senior would have more integrity, IMO.
