Since President Joe Biden took office, the White House and its allies have insisted that there is nothing to see at the southern border.

The “border crisis,” they said, was a racist, Republican conspiracy theory meant to whip voters into a frenzy.

As Americans started to see through the sham, fact-checkers were quick to explain how actually the situation is more complex than it seems.

When Biden visited Arizona in December, the media allowed him to escape talking about the border with the ridiculous assertion that “there are more important things going on” at the border than… the border.

Last week, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told a bald-faced lie about how illegal immigration was down 90 percent under President Biden.

In a few moments of clarity, the press and the Biden administration have recognized that there is a crisis—but blamed it on Republicans. Many attempted to point the finger at former president Donald Trump, a tactic with which the Biden administration is quite familiar.

But the bill on this smokescreen may finally be coming due. Title 42, a pandemic-era policy that restricted those crossing the border from seeking asylum, is set to expire, and a massive influx of illegal immigrants has gathered at the border in anticipation. These inconvenient facts have made the border crisis harder to hide. President Biden recently sent 1,500 members of the National Guard to the border to try to keep order during the expected surge.

Can we finally call it a crisis?
