Conservatives are quick to blame the Biden Administration — and even President Biden himself — for the flood of illegal aliens, potential terrorists and illegal drugs coming across our Southern Border.
But somehow President Biden is firing back and blaming Republicans.
But who is really to blame?
Biden continues to mask his failures with lies.
Republicans have been warning about the border crisis — including the deadly fentanyl pouring into cities & towns across America — since day one, but his administration says the border is “secure.”

We know that while in office President Trump tried to build a “big beautiful wall” across open parts of the border. But Democrats fought him every step of the way and refused to authorize construction.
In many cases he did it anyway, moving money from other budget areas to the wall.
When Joe Biden took office he stopped all work on the wall.
And left hundreds of millions of dollars worth of materials rusting in outdoor corrals.
NEW: What does it look like to not build the border wall? Our drone is overhead in Pharr, TX at one location where steel for the border wall has been baking in the sun & going to waste since January. Tens of millions of dollars worth of steel here already paid for. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/RTdiMTyqAh

So Border Wall construction stoppage points to Biden being responsible.
How about the Border Patrol?
In the past 2 years there have been over 4.9 million illegal crossings at our southern border. @POTUS has created the worst border crisis in American history. #BidenBorderCrisis https://t.co/GcfzRT4kdd

In fact, the head of the Border Patrol admits that the United States does not have operational control of the border…
…and that there have been 4.9 million illegal crossings in the past two years — almost exactly the same amount of time that Joe Biden has been running the show.
During the entire time that Joe Biden has been President, except the last couple of months, Democrats have held majorities in both the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. They have held the power of the purse. Made the laws. Spent the money. And set priorities in conjunction with Biden.
So who do you think is to blame?
