Democrats and Republicans have pleaded with this administration to have Biden visit the border to get a good long look at what he’s done, but alas… The liar-in-Chief always has something better to do. Well, Joe Biden’s senior aide for public engagement, Keisha Lance Bottoms, was asked why President Biden did not visit the border during his visit to Arizona—She gave a whole new list of excuses…
Margaret Brennan from CBS’s “Face the Nation” was given the opportunity to drill Biden’s aide. When she asked Bottoms about Biden recent trip and why he avoided the border here’s how she responded:
“You have to remember, Margaret, when the president travels, it’s not like you or I jumping on an airplane, then getting off and going to our destination. Everything comes to a halt. So all of these things are in consideration for the president. Is that the best use of resources? All of the resources that will be diverted on the ground when the president makes a visit,” Bottoms responded.
Brennan pressed further and asked if that was why he didn’t go.
“I can’t speak to why he has or has not gone, I’m just speaking to the fact that it’s a bit more disruptive for the president of the United States to travel than you or I,” Bottoms said.
Bottoms said the president has “continued to lean in” on immigration problems and that immigration “was a problem that he did not create.”
Brennan also questioned the president’s adviser what the government was doing to convince migrants not to come.
“Well, the administration has been working for months, planning for the end of Title 42. And you have to remember, Margaret, these aren’t people who are attempting to illegally cross the border. These are people who are presenting themselves, asking that they be processed in accordance with the laws of the United States,” Bottoms responded.
Brennan asked again and added that what Title 42 allowed for was “expelling without the guarantee of an asylum hearing.”
“Well, what the White House has done, has said very publicly, that we want people to avail themselves of a lawful process. What we are seeing happening is many people are taking advantage of the fact that Title 42 may go away this week. We’ve seen many people exploiting migrants, saying, come now or you lose your ability to come at all. And that is simply not the case. Again, this is not just the issue we’re facing in the United States. This is a global issue, so the president has been working very closely with our partners across the global to address this global issue,” Bottoms said.
So there you have it, Biden isn’t avoiding the border—It’s a waste of his time. Meanwhile, Border states are buckling and being demonized for helping to relocate their undocumented guests.
