After Border Security Fails in Senate, Biden Faults Trump
WASHINGTON -- There's been a serious outbreak of finger-pointing at the Biden White House this week.
During remarks delivered in the White House State Dining Room Tuesday, President Joe Biden recognized that a Senate border bill was likely to fail.
And it did tank the next day.
Biden blamed former President Donald Trump for pressing Senate Republicans to vote against the measure, because Trump would "rather weaponize this issue than actually solve it."
Sadly, wrongly, Trump made no secret of his preference for not passing the bill so he could use the issue on the presidential campaign trail.
"Every day between now and November," Biden opined, "the American people are going to know that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican friends."
That's a breathtaking admission from the president. Biden acknowledged that the Southwest border is "not secure."
He blamed Republicans, because it's not Biden's fault, even if he has been in the Oval Office since January 2021 and could have used the power of his pen to sign executive orders to beef up enforcement. And he still can use it.
Instead, Biden used his pen to purge policies like Trump's "Remain in Mexico."
"I'm not making new law," Biden crowed as he overrode Trump's handiwork. "I'm eliminating bad policy."
