During the State of the Union speech, President Joe Biden tried to claim that the U.S. southern border is improving, despite the fact that it has gotten significantly worse.
Under the Biden administration, illegal immigration has soared to unprecedented levels.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recorded over 250,000 encounters with illegal aliens in December 2022, the highest number recorded in U.S. history.
Based on December's numbers, the administration has now experienced ten straight months of 200,000+ illegal alien encounters.
But the president claimed otherwise during his speech to Congress.
"We now have a record number of personnel working to secure the border, arresting 8,000 human-smugglers and seizing over 23,000 pounds of fentanyl in just the last several months," Biden said.
"Since we launched our new border plan last month, unlawful migration from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela has come down 97%," he added.
Former acting Department of Homeland Security secretary Chad Wolf responded to Biden's claims by saying that the president thinks seizing thousands of pounds of fentanyl is a "success."
Moreover, referencing the fentanyl crisis, Biden said, "Fentanyl is killing more than 70,000 Americans a year." Fentanyl is the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18–45.
In response, Republicans yelled "border!" in the House chamber, indicating that Biden should close the border, and one Republican shouted, "It's your fault."
When the GOP members of Congress called on him to close the border, Biden said, "You got it" but didn't follow up with any details.
During his address, the president laid out his plan to combat the fentanyl crisis.
"So, let's launch a major surge to stop fentanyl production, sale, and trafficking, with more drug detection machines to inspect cargo and stop pills and powder at the border," he said.

FJB. F him, bigtime.
Not one thing on that list is improving...and we were in better shape on all of them BEFORE Brandon got into office. He has done absolutely nothing for the people...anything he has done was for votes.
The left have only two gears
1: full speed ahead lies and false accusations
2: sound asleep at the wheel
This morning I saw a report on Fox about the Blimps the Border Patrol uses along the border. They are a valuable asset and the Border Patrol relies on them to a great extent.
The Blimp money have gone to deep pockets in Ukraine.
Sure Biden lied like hell. But about that rude reaction from the GOP...

Until January we had 12 Blimps. Now we have 4 because DOD cut out their part of the funding. They told the Border Patrol that “The money is not available”.
I suppose the Blimp money went to deep pockets in Ukraine.
Biden’s been a maggot infested liar all his life not new news.
Other than the plagerism incident, he has never been held accountable for his lies. A life time in the Senate got him that way.
A life time in the Senate got him that way.
Check some of his back ground he was that way all his life he’s a mamas boy that never grew up.
It might be improving, maybe everyone has now crossed the border.
“improving” for the drug dealers
Even liberal cities don’t want them. We already had enough useless, homeless, drunken, drugged people of our own.
"During the State of the Union speech, Biden [??? emphasis added] claims border crisis is improving. He's lying"
Biden this, Biden that.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Biden isn't the real problem imo.
The corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties that stubbornly refuse to impeach and remove alleged election-stealing, open border invasion (imo) Biden and Harris from office are the problem.
Given the tsunami of unconstitutional spending that corrupt majority Democrats and RINOs do after losing the "power of the purse" House, the inevitable remedy for ongoing, corrupt post-17A ratification political party treason (imo) is the following.
All MAGA patriots need to wake up their RINO federal and state lawmakers by making the following clear to them.
If they don’t publicly support either a resolution, or a Constitutional Convention, to effectively "secede" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by amending the Constitution to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments (16&17A), doing so before the primary elections in 2024, that YOU will primary them.
If the proposed amendment was limited strictly to repealing 16&17A, relatively little or ideally no discussion would be needed before ratification of the amendment imo.
With 16&17A out of the way, my hope is that Trump 47 becomes the FIRST president of a truly constitutionally limited power federal government.
In the meanwhile, I'm not holding my breath for significant MAGA legislation to appear in the first 100 days of new term for what may still prove to be another RINO-controlled House.
Trump will hopefully do another round of primarying RINOs for 2024 elections.
