President Biden must be very disappointed. Way back in 2019, during the Democratic primary debates, Biden said that immigrants should "immediately surge to the border" once he was elected. Every metric we've seen says they did exactly that, but Biden wants to clarify one thing. They didn't.
No, Biden says that the numbers at the border "came way down" when he became president. Maybe the International Fact-Checking Network should convene another emergency meeting to deal with this one. Where are the fact-checkers on this?
Oh, and second, Biden apparently wanted to station more "Secret Service agents" at the border.
BIDEN: "Let's get something in mind about the border. When I became president, the numbers came way down!"

He also says he "pushed very hard" to "put more Secret Service agents" on the border 🤔 pic.twitter.com/WofMS4OFFQ
Why didn't he put more Secret Service agents at the border? Because Donald Trump was on the phone telling him not to.
Pathological liar

CNN's Brian Stelter said that firing your fact-checkers was like firing the fire department. So is Daniel Dale going to spring up and correct the record on this?

This is just getting sad. This guy is so lost.

There's even sad piano accompaniment.
Yearly Increase: From 2021 to 2023, the numbers have shown a steady increase:
— HardTruths🇺🇸 (@Hardtruths100) January 13, 2025
2021: Approximately 1.7 million encounters.
2022: Approximately 2.3 million encounters.
2023: Approximately 3 million encounters.
Cumulative Numbers: Over 12 million foreign crossings have been reported…
How can anybody not be embarrassed by this man at this point?

He’s a compulsive liar. He couldn’t tell the truth even before his health deteriorated.
— Karen Stell (@stell_karen) January 13, 2025
The man will lie about where and how his son died if it ingratiates him with his current audience.
And nobody from the media says a word
— FloridaBuckeye21 (@BuckeyeChi5) January 13, 2025
He believes it because that's what he was told. It's not crazy to think he's been lied to and just repeats what the staff told him
— Gabriel Cezar (@gabrielnocode) January 13, 2025
Good point. He believed Alejandro Mayorkas when he said the border was secure.
If that’s true, Biden could show us the numbers.
— Simon Unleashed (@SimonSaysKnow) January 13, 2025
No matter what his handlers tell him to say, it’s not the truth.
“When I became President, the numbers came way down.” No Joe, actually you rescinded 82 Executive orders from the Trump administration and let in roughly 11 million people in the country in 3 years. Only after the damage was done did you enact anything that attempted to fix it.

We didn't need Secret Service Agents there as neither he nor Harris rarely went to any active border area.
— Michael Harding (@TennBuckII) January 13, 2025
He will lie until his last day in office

Wait for the memoir ghost-written by the guy he showed all the classified files to.
“Pushed very hard?” Against who? He’s the goddamn president!
— BKactual (@BravoKiloActual) January 13, 2025
He's crazy. I guess he doesn't understand that people are smart these days and are able to double check these things he's throwing out there as facts.
— Cheryl (@StoreyLine) January 13, 2025
Even after four years, it's just astounding to hear lies like this coming from Biden. We've all heard the numbers from the Border Patrol and seen the graphs. Can we survive one more week of this?
