Democrat President Joe Biden made numerous false claims during excerpts of an ABC News interview that aired on Tuesday evening about the border crisis that is unfolding under his watch.
During the interview, host George Stephanopoulos pressed Biden about the historic crisis, which Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas confirmed this week is projected to hit the highest level ever recorded by DHS. When asked about the thousands of unaccompanied minors who are flooding the southern border, Biden responded, "Do you repeat what Trump did, take them from their mothers, move them away, but hold them in cells, etc? We're not doing that."
The New York Times reported earlier this month that thousands of unaccompanied minors were being kept in "Facilities akin to jails as the Biden administration struggles to find room for them in shelters." The Times reported this week that "Children are being forced to sleep on gym mats with foil sheets and go for days without showering" and that "Many children" had "Not been allowed outdoors for days on end." USA Today reported during the first week in March that "The Biden administration is still sheltering children separated from close family members in federal facilities for weeks on end."
Even Mexico's left-wing government is reportedly worried that Biden is "Stoking illegal immigration" and "Creating business for organized crime." Biden National Security Council Coordinator Roberta Jacobson even appeared to admit the administration's policies were at least in part a driver for the surge at the border, saying that it was a response to "a significant hope for a more humane policy after four years of pent up demand."
DHS blames the Biden border crisis on violence in Northern Triangle countries, hurricanes, and the pandemic.
Monthly apprehensions nearly doubled between summer of 2020 and February 2021, because the Biden campaign and then the Biden administration was sending a clear signal to the world - if you arrive soon, you will receive amnesty.
Later in the interview, Biden claimed: " but the vast majority, let us get something straight though, the vast majority of people crossing the border are being sent back.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
