Over the weekend when President Biden called what’s been happening at the border a “crisis,” others in the White House tried to make it clear that what Biden says doesn’t necessarily represent the official position of his administration.
While backing away from the term “crisis,” Biden press secretary Jen Psaki did admit this administration was a bit caught off guard by the surge:
Biden White House was admits they were unprepared for border crisis:
"There was an increase of unaccompanied children at the border."
"That increase and that influx, as you all know, was higher than most people – including us – anticipated." pic.twitter.com/M28xUk5HoW

Caught off guard? Heck, during debate season Biden sent out the invitations:

Given that, who could have possibly predicted what would have happened!?
President Biden said this “happens every single solitary year,” but @PressSec now admits the border surge was “higher than most people, including us, anticipated.” https://t.co/lWzr8r2I4A
