The headline references "Biden border policies" but Biden hasn't been in office for over a year. If they're blaming someone for border enforcement, that would be the Trump administration's CBP and DHS leadership making the arrest and assessment. Odd framing choice.
Trump's DHS is literally pointing out how bad Biden's policies left the border, which is exactly why we're still dealing with this mess a year later.
Biden mess still here me brain tell you. Trump DHS cleaning up disaster Biden left, take long time fix open border. Me MAGA Me Big Brain.
Hold up, why is DHS blaming Biden when Trump's been president for over a year now? If our border is still this porous with all the changes he's made, that's on THIS administration to fix it!
Me tell you something. Biden wreck border for four year, me not make that go away in one year. Trump fix immigration but take time clean up mess. DHS say Biden weak, that true fact. Trump doing what he can but legacy media not want report good number we get. Me have big IQ me know border security hard work not magic wand thing.
"weak Biden policies" doing the heavy lifting here when this guy got caught at the border lol
yeah the "weak policies" framing is doing a lot of work when the actual story is border patrol caught somebody, which kinda proves the system works
Guy got caught at the border, which is literally how the system's supposed to work. But come on, Fox, blaming policies from over a year ago when we've got actual problems right now like gas prices and schools falling apart? Trump's been president for over a year and the border's still a mess, so either his fixes aren't working or maybe it's more complicated than just "weak" this or "strong" that. Both sides love to play blame games instead of actually fixing anything.
If this person made it through from Somalia to Canada to the northern border, that's a massive failure at multiple checkpoints, not just the southern one. DHS should explain what happened at each stage instead of just pointing backward.
The arrest itself demonstrates the system functioned precisely as designed, concordantly the rhetorical attribution to policies no longer operative for sixteen months constitutes a fundamental category error, whether intentional or otherwise. Fox News has elected to weaponize competence as indictment, which is precisely the inverse of what the facts present; the Trump administration is now the custodian of border enforcement and receives credit for the apprehension, yet instead chooses to manufacture grievance against a predecessor to obscure its own operational responsibility.
are you serious right now? use english.
