Joe Biden attacked former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies for opposing the Senate border bill and claimed they are responsible for the collapsed open border.
After arriving 90 minutes later than scheduled to deliver remarks at the White House on Tuesday, Biden railed against Congressional Republicans for opposing the Senate’s $118 billion “border security” bill that sends of the bulk of funds to Ukraine and Israel.
“Every day between now and November, the American people are going to know that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump,” Biden declared.

In the beginning of his speech, Biden admitted that the “immigration system has been broken and it’s long past time to fix it,” despite his administration previously insisting for years that the border has been “secure” and that there is no crisis at the border.
Biden shuffles to his lectern (1.5 hours late) and announces “the immigration system has been broken and it’s long past time to fix it.”

Biden in his garbled style also argued that the failure to pass the Senate’s so-called “border security” bill would mean a victory for….Russian President Vladimir Putin?
“We can’t walk away now, that’s what Putin is betting on,” Biden said.
NEW: Biden says that supporting Border Bill is “standing up to Putin” and it will provide “assistance for the Palestinian people”

If that wasn’t bad enough, Biden also called for mass amnesty of illegal aliens.
“We still need a path of documentation for those who are already here! And we’re not walking away from true immigration reform, including permanent protections and a pathway to citizenship for young DREAMers who came here when they were children,” Biden said.

Trump blasted the border bill Monday, noting it does nothing to secure the border and even allows 5,000 illegal aliens to cross into the U.S. per day.
“Only a fool, or a Radical Left Democrat, would vote for this horrendous Border Bill, which only gives Shutdown Authority after 5000 Encounters a day, when we already have the right to CLOSE THE BORDER NOW, which must be done. This Bill is a great gift to the Democrats, and a Death Wish for The Republican Party,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“It takes the HORRIBLE JOB the Democrats have done on Immigration and the Border, absolves them, and puts it all squarely on the shoulders of Republicans. Don’t be STUPID!!! We need a separate Border and Immigration Bill. It should not be tied to foreign aid in any way, shape, or form! The Democrats broke Immigration and the Border. They should fix it. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
Biden’s bold-faced lies on this topic easily collapse under the slightest scrutiny.
Since Biden took office in 2021, his administration issued at least 94 directives and executive orders intentionally undermining national border security, including scaling back asylum requirements, ending Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, and halting border wall construction.
Customs and Border Protection numbers going back 20 years also clearly show the unprecedented influx of illegal immigration clearly and prominently ticked up as soon as Biden took the White House, leading to the highest numbers of illegal alien crossings in U.S. history.
What’s happening on the southern border right now is nothing less than a catastrophe. But I had no bad it truly was until I looked at the data myself.

Biden’s outrageous lies are best explained in a famous quote by former Soviet dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn:
“We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.”
