Referencing a recent article in CNN, the Border Patrol Union account on X tore into President Joe Biden and his border policies, explaining why the Biden border is such a disaster zone and what the Trump Administration did well when it came to ferreting out fraudulent asylum claims. The post also ridiculed CNN’s reporting on the matter, calling it “straight up propaganda.”
For reference, the article that the Border Patrol Union tweet was about was written by Priscilla Alvarez and titled “Biden seizes on tougher border measures as he tries to fend off Trump attacks.” The article claimed that President Biden has taken tough measures to secure the border and implies that the fault is with Republicans for not sending a satisfactory bill to his desk.
Beginning the post, the Border Patrol Union noted the framing the CNN article tried using to explain away the disaster at the US-Mexico border. It said, “As you read this garbage from CNN it will help if you also believe unicorns are real. For example, they use phrases like “…record migration across the Western Hemisphere” as a pathetic way to try to justify Biden’s immigration catastrophe.”
Continuing, the union’s post placed the blame for the crises squarely on the shoulders of President Joe Biden, rejecting the idea that larger global issues caused the massive migration crisis. The tweet said, “The current border disaster was singlehandedly caused by…you guessed it…Joe Biden.”
Explaining why it thinks Biden is to blame, the union noted that illegal immigration saw a significant uptick as soon as Biden entered office, writing, “✅Illegal immigration started going off the charts on Biden’s first day in office. There was no magical new situation around the world that caused it. Biden’s immigration policies caused it.”
Then, contrasting that with the Trump administration, the union argued that Trump followed American law and treaty obligations while also keeping the border secure and taking asylum fraud seriously. It said, “✅Trump did not prohibit anyone from claiming asylum. He followed the law. But he wisely didn’t release asylum claimants into the US to immediately reward them like Biden did. Trump reduced fraud, Biden caused fraud and border crime to rise to historic levels.”
The union then paused the editorializing to note what the big problem with the asylum process is, noting that asylum claims are used by illegal immigrants to get into the country and then disappear into the interior. It wrote, “The vast majority of those that cross our borders illegally to claim asylum do not show up to their final court date. They simply disappear.”
Turning back on Biden and why he is to blame while also landing another body blow on CNN, the union then wrote, “So really, all Biden has managed to do is eradicate any semblance of a functional border, import millions of illegal aliens (costing taxpayers billions) and left a huge mess for another administration to clean up while he’s sitting on the beach in Delaware eating ice cream. CNN isn’t “news”, it’s straight up propaganda.”
The Border Patrol also recently told Fox News that it is not planning on tearing down the Texas-Mexico border barriers over which the Lone Star state fought with the Biden Administration and vowed defiance in late January of 2024. Watch that report here:
