Biden suggests Republicans in Congress have worsened migrant crisis and admits 'I think we have to make major changes in the border'
Daily Mail ^ | 1/13/24 | Keith Griffith

resident Joe Biden is pointing the finger at congressional Republicans over a surge in irregular migration, after they rejected his recent request for billions in new enforcement funding.

'I've been pushing them - my Republican colleagues - since I got in office. I think we have to make a major change in the border,' Biden told reporters on Saturday, as he headed to Camp David.

'I'm prepared to make significant alterations in the border,' the president added.

After illegal crossings at the southern border with Mexico reportedly hit new record highs in December, Biden has faced tough criticism from Republicans over his handling of the situation.

But the president has pushed back, blaming Republicans in Congress for failing to take up immigration reform, and denying his recent request for $3.5 billion in additional funds for border enforcement and asylum processing.

'On my first day in office...I sent Congress a comprehensive piece of legislation that would completely overhaul what has been a broken immigration system for a long time,' Biden said in White House remarks last week.

'But congressional Republicans have refused to consider my comprehensive plan,' he added.

'And they rejected my recent request for an additional $3.5 billion to secure the border and funds for 2,000 new asylum personnel...and 100 new immigration judges so people don't have to wait years to get their claims adjudicated, which they have a right to make a claim legally,' said Biden.

Record numbers of migrants have been caught illegally crossing the border since Biden took office in 2021.

The Border Patrol arrested about 2 million migrants at the US-Mexico border in fiscal year 2023, similar to record-breaking totals during Biden's first two years in office.

During Donald Trump's 2017-2021 Republican presidency, migrant arrests peaked at 852,000 in fiscal year 2019.

To Biden, it's always somebody else's fault, like when he was forced out of the race b/c of his stupidity. In September 1987, Biden announced he was dropping out of the presidential race for ignorantly uttering words as his own that he had plagiarized.

Stupid Bidumb was flying high, on his way to the presidency. when he was exposed as a lowlife plagiarist. Biden’s aggressive body language suggests he's miffed.It's somebody else’s fault that he is a plagiarist.

There’s something mentally wrong with that guy. Just look at that video where he brags about his IQ and lists one lie after another about being top of his class, having scholarships because he’s so smart, none of which was true, and he says this in front of reporters on video.

Should we not hear from the single Administraton official responsible for the border response? Is Kamala Harris going to weigh in or not?

Dear Brandon....H.R.2 was passed in May 2023 under McCarthy. It is a comprehensive plan on Securing the Border. The day after it passed....You wrote you would never pass it.

It's been at the Senate since then...and even Mitch signed onto it.

Mike Johnson has said it must be passed BEFORE any more aid is given for Ukraine or Israel. (I'm sure you didn't mention that to Ukraine's dancing President.)

Bottom Line...America's Border comes first!!

So what is Brandon willing to do....get monies to pay off these "Sanctuary States".....and nothing more.

No, cut the silly Brandon crap. More to the point, someone in The Stupid Party should call Biden a LIAR.

Yes, he is breaking the law and should have been arrested the day he opened the border. Instead, The Stupid Party is focused on his kid’s shenanigans.

“blaming Republicans in Congress for failing to take up immigration reform” = amnesty, path to citizenship

Dems are playing a game of chicken and are losing.

“I think we have to make major changes in the border”

They already did. That’s why it’s a problem.

When Rats say they want more money for “security for the border”, what that means to them is more money to process the invaders, give them money, create a path to citizenship, and transport them to wherever they want to go. Rats never mean the money should go to prevent or even slow down the flow of border invaders.

Obiden’s desired changes surely include giving the invaders instant citizenship before the government sends them to seed a new voting population in our cities.

the UniParty has nothing other than unfettered criminal immigration with which they hope to drown MAGA in voter and electoral fraud.

It really is as simple as that

Shouldn’t he consult his border Czar, Kamala?

I’m sick of posting about how retarded all the posts about Hunter Biden are - right up there with the Epstein-Clinton posts.
