Biden telling the same border lies for 18 months

Rapid Response

The Biden administration has been lying to you about the border for months. In fact, they’ve been telling the SAME LIES since day 1.

  • March 18, 2021, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas: “The border is in fact secure.”
  • March 21, Mayorkas: “The border is closed.”
  • April 25, Kamala Harris: “we’re making progress.”
  • May 26, Mayorkas: “The border is closed.”
  • June 11, Mayorkas: “The border is closed.”
  • June 7, Harris: “The U.S. will continue…to secure our border.”
  • June 24, Joe Biden: “Done a great job so far.”
  • August 12, Biden: “It happens every single solitary year.”
  • August 30, Biden: “We've now gotten control.”
  • September 20, Jen Psaki: Harris “has been addressing root causes…to reduce the number of people.”
  • October 21, Biden: “We are making more progress than you think.”
  • July 3, Mayorkas: “I think that we are doing a good job.”
  • July 20, Mayorkas: “The border is secure.”
  • August 29, Karine Jean-Pierre: “It is not just that people are walking across the border.”
  • September 12, Harris: “We have a secure border.”
  • September 15, Jean-Pierre: “We agree that the border is secure.”
  • September 20, Jean-Pierre: "The border is not open. We're doing everything we can."

WATCH: No, the border is NOT secure

Since Biden has taken office, there have been 4.4 MILLION illegal crossings when including 850,000 gotaways who have escaped into the U.S. That 4.4 million – encompassing migrants from at least 160 countries – is the highest 18 month total on record.

But 18 months in, Biden now claims, “this is a totally different circumstance.” That is a lie, and after 18 months, no one should believe him.
