Pelosi’s flawed claim that Biden did better than Trump on the border
Washington Post via MSN ^ | Nov 13, 2024 | Glenn Kessler

In a post-election interview, Pelosi made this point when the interviewer challenged her on the impact of the surge of migrants across the southern border. Pelosi criticized Trump for saying the undocumented immigrants were criminals, saying “they weren’t, they weren’t.” The interviewer shot back that “people felt quite strongly that they didn’t want to see immigrants sleeping in police stations, at airports.”

“I don’t think we were clear enough by saying fewer people came in under President Joe Biden than came under Donald Trump,” Pelosi responded. “It’s clarity of the message, and if that’s what Bernie [Sanders] is talking about, and that’s what Joe Manchin’s talking about, we weren’t clear in our message as to what things are, then I agree with that.”

But Pelosi’s line was as clear as mud. It’s a documented fact that at least four times as many migrants entered the United States under Biden than under Trump........

The surge of migrants at the border was an albatross for Democrats in the 2024 election. Pelosi suggests that a clearer message might have made a difference. But her point is obscure and contradicted by the data. Removals of undocumented immigrants from the interior of the country fell under Biden.

With Cato’s data, Pelosi might have argued that Trump’s broad-brush roundup of undocumented immigrants led him to release more criminals in the United States than Biden. Given Trump’s constant mantra that Biden was letting criminals into the country, perhaps that would have been an effective counterargument.

But that’s not what Pelosi said. And what she said, even as revised, is wrong. She earns Four Pinocchios.

With the Kommie and Biden open border there could be more deportations but still increased illegals, especially with Biden cross border flights.

Liberals get off on lying. It excites them. The bigger the lie, the more they get off.

The surprising thing is the Compost actually calling out the lie.

“Flawed”

That’s putting it mildly.

All the money we’ve given to the United Nations was plenty to help the citizens of the Third World establish their own free, sustainable nations.

But plutocrats like Pelosi preferred letting UN grifters amass the money for themselves. It’s no wonder the impoverished masses would want to migrate here, in hope of doing better.

We dared not help more than we did, fearful of being called imperialists. Maybe that needs to change.

Pelosi & her ilk have knowingly done much to keep the world’s downtrodden underfoot for their own selfish interests.

There indeed will be Hell to pay, one day Nancy. Repent, girl.

Two items

-Hussein stated, bragged about his deportation numbers. He included in “deported” all those who did not enter the USA.

What Pelousy was really thinking was that bringing in all the illegal trespassers is SUCCESS to the democRATS. The democRATS succeeded. President Trump failed to let illegal trespassers flood into the USA.

Quemala, during an interview, declared that President Trump didn’t build any border wall at all. I couldn’t believe she actually said that.

Obama played this game as the “deporter in chief” when he had his Border Patrol statistics show that people turned away at the border were counted as “deportees” to boost his numbers pretending he actually cared about illegal aliens invading the country.

You’re right. Democrat elites get off on lying because they feel their voters are too stupid to know the difference. That’s what they like - - playing their base for fools.

We’re happy to welcome the democrat base to our party - we don’t play our people for fools - for cheap laughs - like they do.

Simple rule of thumb. Reality is always the opposite of what they claim.
