This makes zero sense, any way you interpret it.
Which, of course, means nothing to the Biden Administration. As Biden prepares to send troops to the border to deal with a massive influx of illegal migrants, Karine Jean-Pierre has doubled down on her assertion that illegal migration is down 90%.
No, I am not kidding.

I wrote about KJP’s absurd assertion yesterday morning, and I have been expecting the White House to come up with some absurd excuse for KJP’s faux pas.
Which is why the Biden admin is now sending 1,500 troops to the border to militarize it. https://t.co/h6zclyONQz

I was wrong. They haven’t even tried the excuse route. They went straight to gaslighting mode, despite the facts staring everyone in the face.
On the same day that the Biden Administration announced it was sending a paltry 1500 troops to the US border, KJP is still spinner her lies about how effective Biden has been in stemming the flow of illegal migrants across the border.
"Isn't this sending troops to the border another example where Pres. Biden has taken Pres. Trump's policies on immigration?"

The level of absurdity in the propaganda coming from the White House is so great that even the slumbering and compliant MSM folks are having a hard time simply repeating the lies. It is impossible to hide the crisis at the border, mostly because Democrat mayors from big cities like Chicago and New York are begging to make it stop.
Their solution, of course, is to keep illegal immigration a Red state problem. Don’t stop the flow of illegal immigrants. Quarantine them in the Red States!

Still, that isn’t going to happen. All the detention centers are overflowing and the Biden Administration wants all these migrants spreading across the country as quickly as possible. That means keeping them in camps is off the table, and this gives Red state governors the opportunity to bus a small fraction to the Blue states.
Even a tiny percentage of those migrants is breaking the banks of the Blue cities. They want it stopped.

I listened several times to KJP’s miserable excuse for a clarification to Peter Doocy and I can’t make heads or tails of it. There is no possible way to do so as far as I can tell. It was a jumble of words, each of which on their own have a meaning, that together produce no meaningful sentence.
It made so little sense that Kamala Harris could have said it. A lump of meaningless drivel.
If this had come from the podium during the Trump Administration there would be countless think pieces about what liars the administration is filled with. But since this is Biden’s administration, it will barely register.
I often wonder whether one of the points of keeping the border open is punishing Red states for not giving in to the diktats of Washington. That explanation makes as much sense as anything else.
Nearly 3 million illegals crossed the border last year. New York City and Chicago are collapsing under the weight of a few tens of thousands. Imagine the burden on Texas.
Is that the point? Only the Democrats know for sure, but it’s clear that migration is considered desirable by the Left. They do everything they can to increase the numbers.
The simple fact that KJP can stand in front of a room full of reporters and repeat such nonsense tells you everything you need to know about the corporate media. They should be throwing rotten tomatoes at her, but instead, they leave the hard questions to Peter Doocy as if it pains them that anybody would dare challenge KJP, the first lesbian and woman of color to be press secretary.
Her identity, not her truthfulness, is what apparently matters most to them.
