President Joe Biden — wearing a brown leather jacket and a black baseball hat — walked out onto the South Lawn of the White House on Saturday morning on his way to Marine One.
He was flying to Camp David for the weekend. But first he stopped to talk to some reporters.
“Mr. President,” one of them asked, “would you call the situation on the southern border a ‘crisis’?”
“No,” said Biden, according to the White House transcript, “but I wish they would react. I’ve been pushing them — my Republican colleagues — since I got into office. I think we have to make major changes at the border. I’ve been pushing it. I’m prepared to make significant alterations at the border. And there are negotiations going on for the last five weeks, so I’m hopeful we’ll get there.”
Another reporter asked Biden if he was willing to take “executive action when it comes to the border to address the border crisis if Republican don’t pass more funding?”
“Well, Republicans have to pass funding,” Biden said. “They have to — I’ve read one Republican said, ‘We don’t want our border (inaudible) it’ll only help Biden.’
“I’ve been pushing for fundamental change on the border for a long time — a long time,” said Biden. “And so, I’m hopeful. I’m going to let those negotiations play out. But other than that, I’m going to take action myself.”
Ten days before Biden had this exchange with reporters, House Speaker Mike Johnson took a group of more than 60 House Republicans to visit the U.S.-Mexico border at Eagle Pass, Texas. As these members of Congress gave a press conference there — on the banks of the Rio Grande — a group of illegal aliens began crossing the river behind them. As recorded by CSPAN, one reporter mentioned this to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan as he took his turn at the podium.
Jordan expressed no surprise.
A number of reporters moved behind the members of Congress to record these illegal aliens as they came into the United States.
KSAT, an ABC affiliate based in San Antonio, was one news organization that caught video of them.
“A family of five migrants was captured by KSAT photojournalist Gavin Nesbitt crossing the Rio Grande Wednesday as U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson and other congressional Republicans held a nearby press conference about immigration,” the station reported on its website.
“The two adults and three children could be seen from the staging area of the press conference crossing into Eagle Pass, Texas, from Mexico,” it said. “Border Patrol agents called out to the migrants in Spanish to tell them to turn around.
“Once the family set foot in the United States,” KSAT reported, “the agents gave water to the children, who were in pajamas. Then, they loaded the family up in a van.”
Is Biden right that there is no crisis at the border? Or was it profoundly symbolic of that very crisis that as the speaker of the House and members of Congress were holding a press conference at the border, people were illegally crossing it right behind them?
In fiscal 2020 — the last full fiscal year when President Donald Trump was in office — the Border Patrol encountered 405,036 aliens trying to illegally cross into the United States between the ports of entry, according to data published by Customs and Border Protection.
In fiscal 2021, when President Biden came into office, that number jumped.
“Total USBP encounters rose markedly to nearly 1.7 million encounters in FY2021, the highest number ever recorded at that time,” the Congressional Research Service said in a report it published on May 16, 2023.
“In FY2022, the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) encountered more than 2.2 million foreign nationals (aliens) crossing into the United States illegally between ports of entry, the largest number in its history,” said CRS.
In fiscal 2023, according to the data published by Customs and Border Protection, the Border Patrol encountered another 2,063,692 aliens illegally crossing into the United States between the ports of entry.
That is a 244% increase from the 405,036 the Border Patrol encountered during Trump’s last full fiscal year in office.
Included in this surge were children who came here without their parents.
“Unaccompanied alien children,” the Congressional Research Service said in a report published June 28, 2023, “are statutorily defined as minors under 18 who possess neither lawful U.S. immigration status nor a parent or legal guardian in the United States immediately available to provide care and physical custody.”
“Since early 2021,” said CRS, “annual encounters involving unaccompanied alien children (UC, unaccompanied children) at the U.S.-Mexico border by the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS’s) U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have remained at record-high levels.”
“Since February 2021,” said this CRS report, “UC encounters have consistently exceeded 8,500 per month, higher than any period since CBP began publishing statistics.”
As this column has noted before, the Border Patrol in recent years has also encountered a growing number of individuals on the terrorist watchlist trying to illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border between the ports of entry.
That number increased from just three in fiscal 2020 to 169 in fiscal 2023. In other words, about 56 times as many individuals on the terrorist watchlist were caught trying to sneak across the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal 2023 as in fiscal 2020.
Is that because Biden has done a better job securing the border than Trump? Or is it because Biden has presided over a crisis at our border that threatens the security of this country?
…fundamental change?
Obama said something like that in the 2008 Iowa primary. …”fundamental transform.”
Ya, we know who the puppet master is!
Kamala is now promoting “Amnesty is the Answer.” Yes, they created the problem to then heroic solve it with their solution, which a Democrat openly said, “We need more constituents in my district.”
BIDEN is planning FULL AMNESTY for up to 30-40 million ILLEGALS and Dreamers, America’s Nightmare, and the Democrat Machine will help them with the citizenship and voter registration just in time for the 2024 election giving Democrats the numbers to win every race, the Democrats Dream of ONE-PARTY RULE! They’ll also carry out what their Communist heroes have done for decades, arrest all political opponents, “as a threat to our Democracy.”
“WE THE PEOPLE” will watch it happen but we’re really write a bunch of angry comments on every site. That’ll show the Democrats we’re really mad. THEY’LL LAUGH!
A person who has entered the USA illegal cannot become a naturalized citizen so fast as they are issued a Resident Alien Card, aka Green Card, and then five years later can apply for citizenship unless they are married to an American citizen and then its just three years.
The DemocRATS are playing the long game.
Asking a question of Biden is like seeking comment from David Berkowitz, New York’s Son of Sam, the difference being that Berkowitz claimed to be taking advice from a dog, something well above Biden’s reality and aspirations.
You know, these questions from reporters asking Biden about the border are getting tiresome. Everyone knows how Biden will respond : ask Biden a stupid question, get a stupid answer. The crisis at the border continues because lawmakers are not serious about stopping it. Ask them the hard, really hard questions and put their answers on the record.
“Biden Says There is No Crisis at the Border”
Oh, that’s just Joe being Joe!
What he meant to say was “there is no border at the crisis”.
FJB
Q. How can you tell Bidens lying? A. His Lips are moving
I heard Biden say he had been working on the border problem for 10 years, but 3 years and 3 days ago the first thing he did as POTUS was to sign an Exec. Order to stop building the wall. Then let all the millions of $$ worth of materials lay in fields until it was sold for a tiny fraction of what it was worth,
BTW who bought it and what happened to that money? Maybe Hunter bought that stuff? He could then sell it to enclose all the lots full of the unsold EVs, good old Dad pushed on auto makers.
Seeing how the Biden’s are for sale, the most probable conclusion to jump to in a world without journalists, is that he is lying and cutting razor wire to the benefit of the cartels, is that he has been paid off from multiple sources at this point.
He really has been no deeper than the forty pieces of silver for his whole career. He’d sell out America with less feeling than if he were Judas himself.
Even if no journalists exist to reveal the facts, or even care, his character is there for all to see.
We are sick of the biden administration passing any laws that they want to. We want the invasion to stop and those illegal immigrants deported! No Amnesty for illegal immigrants! Biden should be IMPEACHED for threatening Texas with F15 fighter jets to stop governor Abbott from defending the southern border.

Joe Biden is an outright liar, along with his may other lies when he when he declared the false statement that “there is no crisis at the US/Mexican border.”
“Big Brother” Biden is traitorous to America and the American people. So much so, let us not be naïve about him, that if possible he would inflect upon American and Americans a socialist /Marxist tyranny if he could.
As the type of tyrannical government as in, the classic novel 1984 by George Orwell that was later made into a movie. In which , is headed by “Big Brother,” who issued a new speak dictionary with taught “Peace is war” and “Love is hate” and “Freedom is slavery” as well as “Ignorance is strength” and that the State headed by Big Brother declared that if it say “2+2 = 5 then it is 5.
”
Likewise Big Brother Biden Joe Biden, had recently said that “there is no crisis at the border”
Similarly, lying Big Brother Biden , had earlier, proclaimed that “ Inflation is straight .”
To add to this Big Brother Biden also said that the patriots at the rally that didn’t go so well in Washington DC had engaged in an “insurrection.” Even though they not attempted to overthrow the US government and were unarmed.
As the awfully treated character, Winston,, in the novel and movie when asked how he “feels about Big Brother ?’ Winston very understandably replied, “I hate him”
In like matter “Big Brother Biden” is responsible for wrecking America and depriving Conservatives of their basic civil and human rights , that Big Brother siting in the White House might not be worth the energy to hate, he surely deserves no respect and does deserve , by all informed Americans a strong feeling of contempt.
He’s right. There IS no crisis at the border. Immigration is working perfectly, AS PLANNED! Except that is a LIE. Here’s a suggestion: perhaps it’s time to dig out that old DVD, “Dr. Zhivago”, and screen it again. Because the “Housing” solution for illegals is part of their agenda. You have a spare bedroom? Good for you. You will “take in” a refugee family. Your local city council members, i.e., political commissars, will TAKE your property, and you will comply. Because, the DEMOCRAT Party IS the COMMUNIST Party; they just haven’t changed the official name yet. Obama was our first Communist President; it didn’t last, but the NEXT one, if he/she gets “elected”, will be the one that makes our transition to full blown “United Socialist States of America” a done deal.
It’s not a crisis for the DemoCraps because what is happening is exactly what they want. Get it?
Everybody appears to be missing the point, THE REASON THE DEMOCRATS ARE FLOODING THE BORDER IS BECAUSE THEY INTEND TO CHANGE THE LAW BY EXECITIVE ORDER …
THEY ARE ALL DEMOCRAT VOTERS …..
Biden will change the laws then scare them all to vote for him, that will crush the swing voters and the solid republican states ….
