Joe Biden took credit Monday for bringing immigration numbers “way down” and for deploying “more Secret Service agents” on the border.

“Let’s get something in mind about the border. When I became president, the numbers came way down!” Biden told reporters ahead of his foreign policy speech at the State Department.

The 82-year-old added bizarrely that he “pushed very hard” to “put more Secret Service agents” on the border.

“We had a circumstance where I pushed very hard from bipartisan agreement to put more [unintelligible] on the border, more-more-more Secret Service agents, and guess what? He’s on the phone saying don’t do it. Don’t do it. Make me look bad,” Biden said.

At least 12 million illegal aliens were allowed into the country during Biden’s tenure, according to incoming Border Czar Tom Homan.

“To go from the most secure border in my lifetime under President Trump … to historic illegal immigration in one administration, that’s not mismanagement, that’s by design,” Homan told Tucker Carlson last month during a TCN interview.

Biden was scheduled to deliver a foreign policy address at 2:00 pm Monday to tout his regime’s alleged foreign policy achievements.
