MURDOCK: Democrats Blame Trump for Never-Better Border

Top Democrats say that the US-Mexico border never has been better…and yet, “DonaldTrump” is to blame for everything going wrong there.

“We’re on a good path at the border, under the leadership of President Biden,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D – California). “We were in a very bad situation under the Trump Administration.”

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas reassured Americans in March: “The border is closed.”

Wow! Mission accomplished!

But wait. Even though Myorkas claims that the border is welded shut, something is amiss.

“We are rebuilding the orderly systems that the Trump administration tore down,” Myorkas said.

Regarding the border, Vice President Kamala Harris said: “I mean, again, we were presented, when we came in, with some serious challenges.” According to White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, the “last administration left us with a dismantled and unworkable system.”

To fault Donald J. Trump for Biden’s border chaos is like Mayor Bill de Blasio (D – New York) saying that Gotham’s 40 percent spike in shootings in 2020 and 13 percent hike in homicides, for first quarter 2021 versus 1Q 2020, are the handiwork of that world-famous criminal coddler, Republican former mayor Rudy Giuliani.

The Democrat “blame Trump” narrative on the border is equally absurd. In fact, Trump had the border under control last year. In just weeks, Biden made a dog’s brunch of this inheritance and has devolved the border into a humanitarian, public health, and national security catastrophe.

The data confirm this fact.

First, remember that criminals on the border include each and every illegal alien who invades America without permission. Whether they are MS-13 killers or cute kids seeking their abuelas in San Antonio and Santa Monica, illegal aliens undermine U.S. sovereignty and lampoon millions of legal immigrants who arrive with passports and U.S. visas.

Many illegals also drive up costs for America’s increasingly exhausted taxpayers. Biden is blowing $86.9 million in federal funds to lodge illegals in 1,239 hotel beds for six months. That equals $385 per night. (What a country: Break in and then stay at the Hampton Inns and Comfort Suites — for free! Can I get the same deal in Cancun?)

Not to be outdone, New York State is poised to give $15,600 to illegal aliens who lost work in 2020. Total cost: $2.1 billion. How long before taxpayers break out the pitchforks and torches?

Foreigners who breach the border without passports violate 8 U.S. Code § 1325(a) — Improper entry by alien. Border Patrol encounters with such illegals were flat to falling under Trump. They went from 36,585 in January 2020 to 36,687 that February — up 0.3 percent. In March 2020, that number was 34,460 — down 6 percent.

These stable-to-decreasing numbers of encounters under Trump annihilate Biden’s lie that increases in apprehensions are as predictable as Washington, D.C.’s cherry blossoms. “It happens every year,” Biden told journalists on March 25.

Border – Encounters with illegal aliens

Even if one buys Biden’s garbage, the changing seasons cannot explain today’s staggering leap in Border Patrol confrontations with illegals. These rose from 78,444 in January 2021 to 106,028 last February — up 29 percent. Last month, that figure was 172,331 — up 71 percent in March alone.

Comparing Border Patrol run-ins with illegals in 2020 versus 2021 starkly confirms Trump as savior of the southern border and indicts Biden as its sworn enemy.

Illegal-alien encounters in January 2020 stood at 36,585. January 2021’s statistic was 78,444 — up 114 percent.

The datum for February 2020 was 36,687. Last February’s number was 101,028 — up 175 percent.

The analogous figures for March 2020 were 34,460 and 172,331 for March 2021 — up 400 percent.

Border – Encounters with illegal aliens

In the graph just above, Trump’s taming of the once-intractable southern frontier is represented by the orange curve. This is what 450 miles of border wall, the Stay-in-Mexico policy, and anti-caravan pacts with El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras bought America. There is a word for this: Leadership.

Meanwhile, Biden’s mind-blowing loss of control over the US-Mexico border is represented by the blue line, which curves up like the business end of a hockey stick. To paraphrase Dr. Freud, sometimes a hockey stick is just a hockey stick.

There are two explanations for the utter bedlam that Biden has unleashed on the border: Either he is an Olympic-class incompetent who hasn’t the foggiest idea of what he is doing. Or, conversely, Biden knows precisely what he is doing: Welcoming the Future Democrats of America to march across the frontier and await their turn to vote for the party that pried the front door off the hinges and yelled, “Soup’s on!”

To summarize evil Democrats, who speak from all sides of their mouths on this issue: “We’re on a good path at the border, and it’s all Trump’s fault.”

  1. Wrong Trump closed the border we did not have illegals coming across and that is the way it should be they are NOT wanted!!

  2. Because the dim wits think we are morons, they say things like this in the fake news. Glad to see old Joe has finally seen the point in the border wall. And he is gonna own this mess even if the fake news lies profusely. And now we have hoards more of these invaders. Time to kick em out!!! Come her legally or not at all.

    1. Old Joe has not seen anything he is too stupid and ignorant to realize anything other than trying to protect and save his corrupt family. I say lets oust them all into a foreign country and be done with him and his clan.

  3. I have a actually just laugh and shake my head!
    No matter what, it’s always gonna be President Trump’s fault. Shame on the KKKRAKAS.

    1. Dumb bastards have to blame somebody ,always deflecting the stupid things they do on anyone that does not cooperate with their inferior brain.

  4. As I have commented many times before Biden is an IDIOT as are his entire lying administration! They have no plan nor clue what they are doing except to blame Trump for the current border disaster that was actually created by Biden’s stupidity!!!

  5. YEA THERE GOOD AT THAT & KNOWN FOR THAT
    BLAME !!! SOME ONE ELCE
    AS LONG AS THE FINGER OF BLAME DOESNT POINT AT THE RITE PERSON THAT SHOULD BE BLAMED
    A. DEMOCRAT

  6. I lived in Az. During the great President Donald Trump, all I have to say is thank God I got out of there before Dementia Joe took office! Also the guy who he nominated from Tucson for the border is incompetent!He was in charge of the Tucson police force and the police force is barely existent! He destroyed that and will destroy the border!

  7. That’s the demonRATS mo, always the same. IT’S THE BLAME GAME, WITH HABITUAL LIEING THAT HAPPENS 24/7, OUTTA THERE ROTTEN SHITTY MOUTHS OF LIES AGAIN AND AGAIN AND DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY. TRUTHFULLY TRUE FACTS.

  8. If that Idiot Biden had kept Trump’s policies in place this mess wouldn’t be going on. And the Wall finished. Of course they have to blame Trump cause they won’t take responsibility for their failed policies.

    1. AYE, Judy,. iN truth THESE PATHETIC, OBSESSED “PEOPLE” ARE AT THE LEVELof children, three to five years of age. It reminds me of that famous sci fi film, “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.” The question is though…can adults prevail over this pathetic rabble? May be the jury is out on that, dear Judy!

    1. Chainlink, the only solution is to have Obiden, Harris and the pig with his wife and their husbands all in the same local and take them out once and for all.

  9. Where do the democrats dig up all these idiots who now run the country, a bunch of cheats and liars, from pedos to call girls to gays and trannies.

  10. Like everything in this country there is in this country there a 2 justice system for law if your illegal you get laws weeken for you a lot of free stuff and now free transportation and $2,500 and if you try to come in the country legally you have to wait longer because of the people jumping the line and a lot of money to lawyers and learn the laws it a slap in the face to the people that want to come in the country legally

  11. Joe Biden lies, the democrats lie and the media lies. But the sheep keep believing in bs. Joe Biden is a disaster. A buffoon let into the white House by cheating and lies. He a lazy guy who is controlled by the nazi regime. Soros is the head with Obama and Nancy Pelosi as his peons. Its just sickening to these monsters thinking we are going to row over. The surprise is coming democrats hold onto your depends your going to need a lot.

  12. Trump worked hard to build the wall that the Democrats for 4 yrs were against and spent all their time impeaching a good President and still try to destroy him. I never saw piles of children housed up like I’ve seen this time and bus loads of men being sent to different states to become part of the Democrats movement in their riot movements and MS-13 gangs. Biden welcomes them and Trump was helping clean up our nation of these criminals. Lets give credit where credit is due!

  13. That’s what Democrats do. They constantly project their bad stuff while always trying to take credit for anything good that happens. And what is sad is that “STUPID PEOPLE” buy their BS.

  14. STOP ALL IMIGRATION ON THE SOUTHERN BORDER, PERIOD. JOE BIDEN, KAMALA, NANCY PELOSI, PLEASE RESIGN TODAY!
    THE WALL NEEDS TO BE FINISHED NOW! THE CITIZENS OF TEXAS, NEW MEXICO, ARAZONA, AND CALIFORNIA DO NOT WANT OR NEED ANY ILEGALS IN THEIR STATES!
    NO FREE FOOD OR WATER FOR ILLEGALS, NO FREE ROOMS OR BEDS FOR ILLEGALS! SEND ALL ILLEGALS BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM! ILLEGALS THAT ARE CRIMINALS SEND TO GUANTANAMO FOR A MINIMUM OF 5 YEARS PLUS THEIR PENDING SENTENCE.
    STOP THE MESS AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER, VOTE REPUBLICAN IN 2022 AND 2024!

  15. When leaders of Companies make HUGE mistakes and spend Billions to correct, they are FIRED AND SENT TO PRISON. Why hasn’t Biden and Pelosi been fired and sent to prison. Too many chicken shit politicians and Judges.

  16. And that amounts to over 350,000 more people taking away from the citizens and taxpayers… a travesty… and in only 3 months! Only way to cure this is to clean house in the next election!

  17. They say things are never better at the border and on the same breath say Trump is to blame for what is happening down there. Do these morons ever hear what they are saying? Pathetic losers.

  18. Democrats seem to believe that the American public is made up of idiots.. They think we will believe them if they just keep repeating the LIE often enough. WE are TIRED of the BS of foolish POLITICIANS who are selling America to the highest bidder.

  19. What an insult, Democrat think all American that stupid, they blame on the only one AMERICAN president that really care about AMERICAN & really think we buy it? stop vote for DEMOCRAT

  20. TO THE AVERAGE DEM OUT THERE—- WAKE UP AND LOOK AROUND——– IF THIS KEEPS UP WE WON’T HAVE A COUNTRY. . YOUR DEMS ARE GOING TO MAKE US LOOK LIKE CHINA—- WE HAVE TOO MANY HOMELESS ON THE STREETS LIVING IN TENTS AND NOW THEY ARE NEAR SCHOOL YARDS AND OUR CHILDREN. TELL US WHAT DISEASE THOSE HOMELESS HAVE OR ARE SOME OF THOSE ILLEGALS NEAR THE KIDS AND YOUR GOV SAYS ITS OK.——–REALLY THINK ABOUT IT. ITS NOT OK AND THINK OF THE HEALTH SAFETY OF YOUR CHILDREN. YOUR DEM GOV IS DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY. AND THE GLOBALIST ARE ITCHING TO COME IN HERE AND TAKE OVER. AND THAT WILL BE WORSE FOR ALL OF US.

  21. Remember those in Washington in Congress are only worried about anyone who is not an American Citizen!!!!!! If you are a black American Please Don’t BELIEVE that they care about you; they only care about getting your vote to keep Power.

  22. We should get Mayorkas to define his understanding of the word “CLOSED.”
    His definition may not be consistent with what we, normal humans, understand “CLOSED” to mean.
    And to top it all he says it without blinking his eyes or feeling guilty about a blatant lie coming out of his mouth.
    IS HE SUFFERING FROM THE SAME MENTAL MALADIES AS HIS BOSS?
