President Joe Biden shows a continuous inability to tell the truth as he talks about immigration. Biden says, “My border is better than Trump left it.”
As my colleague Tiana Lowe Doescher notes in a number-heavy fact check, the very claim is ludicrous. When Biden was pressed on the issue of terrorists going over our border to commit crimes, he said the only terrorists to come over our border came from al Qaeda. But his own Justice Department this month arrested eight Tajik border crossers who they believe were planning a terrorist bombing. And just this week, the Department of Homeland Security identified some 400 illegal border crossers brought by an ISIS-affiliated smuggling network.
For that matter, the people who allegedly killed the 12-year-old girl Jocelyn Nungaray deserve to be labeled as terrorists from a moral standpoint. Her hands were bound behind her back during the brutal assault, then she was strangled and dumped in a bayou. Our own president’s failure to call this brutal assault an act of terrorism is a failure. It is simply deplorable.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection measures the number of illegal immigrants crossing as interactions with border patrol officers. The facts say that Under the Biden administration, there have been 6.4 million encounters outside ports of entry along the southern border so far, with the yearly average more than quadruple that of the Trump administration, according to an analysis of CBP data.

Biden fails to recognize through the beginning of this debate that people are dying at the hands of illegal immigrants. The lies of Biden continue to be in contrast to the best interest of voters. He lied about the border being better than Trump. He lied that the people who harm Americans shouldn’t be classified as terrorists. He even lied that the Border Patrol union endorsed him, as the union tweeted out a statement that they would “never have and never will endorse Biden.”
With Biden’s record, after all, why would the border officers even consider endorsing him?
