Just when you thought she couldn’t more directly contradict reality, chief White House flack Karine Jean-Pierre claimed Monday: “When it comes to illegal migration, you’ve seen it come down by more than 90%” under Biden.
The “fact” behind that bull was a brief drop in migrants from a few select nations; the overall claim is an utter inversion of reality.
Fiscal 2022 ended with close to 2.38 million migrant encounters, the highest ever, topping Biden’s massive first fiscal-year record-setter of almost 1.96 million.
And the 2022 record will fall easily: The figures for fiscal 2023 through March are already at 1.54 million.
Not all those folks are released into the interior, of course.
But you have to add the million or so “gotaways,” migrants spotted but not stopped by Customs and Border Protection agents — who all make it in.
Plus an unknown number who never get spotted at all by a totally-swamped CBP.
And with Title 42 expulsions ending next week, a bigger rush is in motion now, already crushing tiny border towns and causing huge humanitarian and fiscal headaches as far away as New York City.
The Bidenites’ post-Title 42 plans are another joke, one that will aim to reduce the illegal influx simply by legalizing more migrants.
Indeed, the dip that Jean-Pierre cited was centered on a similar “legalize ’em” program.
Of course she’s blaming Republicans for the whole mess, essentially because they refuse to embrace a mass legalization of all comers.
Veteran comedian Jon Lovitz should sue Jean-Pierre for intellectual property theft. She’s blatantly ripping off one of his signature characters: Tommy Flanagan, Pathological Liar.
