Senator Lindsey Graham blasted President Biden’s first press conference, especially when Biden refused to take responsibility for his creation of the current crisis at the border because of his relaxed policies. Graham slammed the president for repealing Trump’s common-sense solutions which were proven to decrease illegal crossings like the “remain-in-Mexico” policy was well his halt to border wall construction. Graham accused Biden of spreading misinformation during the press conference and creating a “human tsunami” at the border.
What’s sad is that President Biden doesn’t understand the basics about the current dynamic at the border and the “pull” factors of illegal immigration.

Fox News reports:
Biden was asked Thursday whether he had rolled back Trump-era immigration policies “too quickly.”
He said those policies, such as the “Remain in Mexico” policy, funding for the border wall and interior immigration enforcement mechanisms, “were not helping at all, did not slow up the amount of immigration.”
“Rolling back the policies of separating children from their mothers?,” the president said.
“I make no apologies for ending programs that did not exist before Trump became president that have an incredibly negative impact on the law — international law — as well as on human dignity. And so I make no apologies for that,” Biden said.
Since Biden took office, thousands of migrants have swarmed the border many wearing Biden-Harris t-shirts and directly saying Biden’s campaign promises made them decide now is the time to make the journey, yet he continues to blame the surge on the Trump administration.
