Flashback: This Happened on DAY 1 of President Now Trying to Blame GOP for Open Border

After three years of insisting the border is secure, the White House's pivot to "the border hasn't been secure for a decade and now it's the fault of Republicans" is just about the most shameless and infuriating thing ever:

For everyone who is demanding tougher border control, this is the way to do it.

Biden (or whoever's actually in charge) could fix the mess they intentionally created simply by undoing what was done on their first day in the White House:

*Biden cuts border funding on day one in office and has his Feds spend the next 3 years cutting down walls, fences and razor wire to completely open the southern border*

*chaos ensues*

What's amazing (though not surprising) is that the White House's statement put out on day one of Biden's presidency mentions the importance of border security and contains a "but..." after it:

Like every nation, the United States has a right and a duty to secure its borders and protect its people against threats. But building a massive wall that spans the entire southern border is not a serious policy solution. It is a waste of money that diverts attention from genuine threats to our homeland security. My Administration is committed to ensuring that the United States has a comprehensive and humane immigration system that operates consistently with our Nation’s values. In furtherance of that commitment, I have determined that the declaration of a national emergency at our southern border in Proclamation 9844 of February 15, 2019 (Declaring a National Emergency Concerning the Southern Border of the United States), was unwarranted. It shall be the policy of my Administration that no more American taxpayer dollars be diverted to construct a border wall. I am also directing a careful review of all resources appropriated or redirected to construct a southern border wall.
