The Biden administration is admitting they have lied for months about the border.
Shot: In April, as border crossings reached a 20-year high, Biden bizarrely claimed “we’ve now gotten control” of the border while denying there is a crisis.
Biden recently claimed “we’ve now gotten control” of the border crisis.

Chaser: Press Secretary Jen Psaki now admits the border crisis is not “under control” and says that’s why Harris is going to the border.

And indeed they were lying – 180,000 border encounters in May, as many as 130,000 illegal immigrants escaping into the U.S. unpursued since March, a spike in lethal drug trafficking, and a surge of cartel activity is not a crisis that is “under control.”
Despite their best efforts to gaslight the American people, Harris’ trip to the border is an admission that the administration has failed. But even still, a few hour layover in El Paso, an area secured by a border wall, is not enough.
The Biden administration now needs to reverse its open borders agenda and spend time listening to the people in border communities devastated by Biden’s failing policies.
