I & I Editorial Board“The truth of the matter is, nothing has changed.” – Joe Biden, March 25, 2021
We know what you’re thinking. Why waste any time on Joe Biden? Who cares about him anymore? Well, you should, since the nation will be cleaning up Biden’s messes for years to come.
And one of the biggest was his campaign to usher as many illegal immigrants as possible into the country while lying to the American people about what was going on.
At his first press conference in March 2021 – after claiming that nothing had changed at the border (despite repealing every Trump executive order securing the border on day one) – he said the surge of illegals then underway “happens every single solitary year. There is a significant increase in the number of people coming to the border in the winter months of January, February, March. It happens every year … happens all the time.”
Well, now we know that was a lie. Look at the chart below, which shows “encounters” by border patrol agents at the southern border in January of each year since 2017.
What do you notice? They were low under Donald Trump, exploded under Biden, and now are miraculously back down to the levels of the first Trump term.
Throughout Biden’s administration, he claimed border security was a top priority. He named his vice president as border “czar.”
Against all evidence, his Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas repeatedly lied – often under oath – saying that the border was secure.
Biden later claimed his hands were tied by Republicans who refused to pass a phony border security bill.
We here at I&I knew it was all lies and said so repeatedly over the past four years.
But Biden was under no pressure to admit to his lies – not from elites enjoying low-cost labor, not from Democrats hoping to import new voters, not from the mainstream media, which actively helped Biden cover the lies up.
Now the data are coming in, and as President Ronald Reagan once said, facts are stubborn things.
The sharp drop in illegal border crossings came without a new law or a massive increase in federal spending that Biden wanted. It came, instead, with a few strokes of a pen from President Trump reinstating his border policies, and some stern words backed up by well-publicized enforcement actions.
There is still the question about the millions who traipsed across the border illegally while Biden was putatively in charge of the government. And already, we are seeing the left manufacturer b.s. stories – such as that Trump is deporting Native Americans – to stop his efforts to send even those illegals who commit felonies back from whence they came.
Biden is thankfully gone. But he still needs to answer for his crimes.

Thanks for this. I was just discussing how Biden and Binder kept up the chant “our immigration system is broken, our immigration system is broken!!” as an excuse for the chaos we all saw.
Trump comes in, exercises leadership, enforces the law and…..problem solved!
It’s going to take years to repair the damage done by those Democrat cockroaches.
I still want someone who was involved in this operation to tell the American people why they did this.
“I still want someone who was involved in this operation to tell the American people why they did this.”
To change the American electorate in their favor. Full stop.
Quite obvious, once you are willing to considering things that are utterly immoral, completely illegal, and arguably evil… Which is, as best I can tell, where Democrat ideas start in this day and age, and only get worse from there.
Now if we only had an actually GOOD party to vote for, instead… but “not outright evil” is still a large improvement.
Biden’s lies about the border are not evident to the low-information people who suffer from the bias of omission that the NYT, Atlantic, et al practice. In their world, “the border was secure.”
Back in the good old days of landline phones and newspapers it was easy for politicians to feed lines of BS to the people , as long as you had the media in your corner you were able to tell the folks in 90% of the country that there was no border crisis and they believed because they had no way to verify it unless they had cousin eddy from mc allen visit or call on the phone telling them what was really going on .
Things have changed though thanks to smartphones and social media anybody can record and share footage in real time making politicians look dumb
You thought this was news?
The question now is, will anyone be held to account for this, and if so, when. Too often, we’ve seen the Deep State commit these despicable acts, nothing happens to them, and before long, they’re back in some capacity, doing the same shenanigans all over again…
It will take years and billions of dollars to fix the messes the Biden handlers did to America. Why are they not in prison for it?
“Biden has to answer for his crimes?” Are you kidding me?! Joe Biden and his family will never answer for their misdeeds, lies, abuse of power, and corruption. They are above the law. The Rule of Law, doesn’t apply to the Biden family.
The rest of us? We’re all taxpaying chumps.
Biden was a politician all his life (unfortunately for us, he also was evil, incompetent, stupid and used con-man tactics and lies to get re-elected). The Founders and the Constitution moderated his stupidity and perniciousness since he was only a Senator; however, then he became President (in my opinion, through his and his flacks and crooked election tactics) and-BOY-how he abused this country.
We are lucky we had the social and economic capital to withstand his unholy and horrid reign.
Trump is a successful businessman, perhaps the most successful in this country. He became a politician.
His visa gold card is an example of his genius-and willingness to think outside the box. Why does he do this:
Because to succeed as an entrepreneur you have to succeed in thinking outside of the box.
Why didn’t Biden succeed (and nearly totaled this country to the depths of economic desolation international chaos.).
Because all Biden could succeed at was his political con-man tactics (which I believe contributed to voters re-electing him Senator and getting some votes for President).
Biden was much more stupid than Trump-as he proved in the number of non-successes he addressed as President.
As a matter of fact, the only success that I think he had as President is that he didn’t make us all homeless and zombie-like morons-as witness Trump’s successful 3rd campaign to become President.
