Today, Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre, speaking from the White House, insisted that President Joe Biden takes the border crisis “very seriously” and expressed her “offense” at anyone suggesting otherwise. Despite her claims, scenes from the southern border in Texas and Arizona paint a disturbing picture of chaos and danger.

According to border agents, today has been labeled the “worst day we’ve ever seen” in terms of illegal border crossings. Videos from Eagle Pass, Texas, reveal masses of thousands of migrants waiting to be processed by Border Patrol after crossing the border illegally. Bill Melugin, a reliable source on the ground, stated that he had never witnessed anything like this in over two years of reporting from the area.
In response to Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s decision to bus a few thousand illegal immigrants to so-called sanctuary cities like Chicago, Jean Pierre criticized the move as “dehumanizing.” However, she conveniently omitted the fact that the Biden administration has been quietly relocating millions of illegal immigrants to cities across the country using taxpayer dollars funneled through non-profits.
Furthermore, Jean Pierre failed to address the backlash from Chicago officials who held Governor Abbott responsible for the tragic death of a 5-year-old migrant in a Chicago shelter. Instead, she accused them of putting immigrants in harm’s way and dehumanizing and demonizing them. It’s clear that the White House is quick to shift blame and ignore the consequences of its own actions.
President Biden’s lack of direct engagement with the border crisis is also noteworthy. Despite its severity, he has only visited the southern border once in his lifetime, and even then, the processing centers were cleared out before his arrival, ensuring he saw no crisis and no illegal immigrants.
