CLAIM: President Joe Biden said the Senate leadership’s bipartisan February border bill “is the toughest, most efficient, most effective border security bill this country’s ever seen.”
VERDICT: FALSE: The draft “border security” bill expanded doorways in the borders by mandating the release of migrants with work permits, and by failing to curb migrant pipelines created by Biden’s deputies.
President Joe Biden is defending his easy migration policies by claiming that Republicans sabotaged “a win for the American people” when they rejected the Senate leaders’ border bill.
On February 29, during a speech in Texas, he declared: “You know and I know it’s the toughest, most efficient, most effective border security bill this country’s ever seen. So instead of playing politics with the issue, why don’t we just get together and get it done?”
Many Democrats push the same message. It is the “toughest border reform bill, the toughest border security bill, in decades,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) told CBS on March 3.
The message is being hammered into voters by Biden-friendly media outlets and social media networks, including network TV news shows, NPR, Google, the New York Times, and the Washington Post.
But the complex, legal jargon in the bill minimized border barriers, mandated catch-and-release for migrants, protected Biden’s parole backdoor for wage-cutting employers, funded more aid for migrants, and even created an asylum highway overseen by pro-migration hires.
