A Potemkin village of a border visit

Rapid Response

According to the mayor of El Paso, “we have hundreds and hundreds [of migrants] sleeping on the streets” as overcrowded facilities reach close to 5 times their capacity.

These homeless encampments – created because of the worst border crisis on record – are part of the devastating reality of Biden’s failed border policies. But will Biden see them during his border visit? No. He’ll be presented with a Potemkin village, as Biden’s DHS Secretary Mayorkas continues to falsely claim the border is “managed in an orderly way.”

Per new reporting from the Washington Examiner: “City sidewalks that transformed into makeshift homeless camps as tens of thousands of illegal immigrants were released into downtown El Paso in recent months have been cleared out ahead of President Joe Biden's arrival Sunday.”

More lies from an administration more concerned about maintaining optics through their border coverup than addressing the reality of their border crisis.
