Crisis is the fruit, Biden is the "root"

Rapid Response

Maybe if Biden actually went to the border, he’d be honest about the real cause of the crisis.

Press Secretary Jen Psaki repeated his faulty argument last week, claiming Biden did not “need” to go to the border because he is familiar with the “root cause…people come from Central America and Mexico.”

But that’s not what the stats from the Department of Homeland Security say. In September there were over 69,000 illegal immigrants encountered at the border NOT from Mexico or the Northern Triangle –  the highest number of Biden’s crisis and over 10 TIMES the average September number the previous three years.

Further debunking Biden’s argument, even migrants from the Northern Triangle and Mexico are citing Biden’s policies as the reason they are heading to the border – members of a caravan currently traveling to the border are even holding signs with Biden’s name on them.

The number in the caravan is so large, Mexican security officials have been powerless to stop it.

 It could not be any clearer: the “root cause” of this border crisis is Joe Biden’s open borders agenda.
