CRISES BY DESIGN: Pure Gold: MSNBC Sadly Admits How Bad Biden Was on Immigration, Trump Was Right.

But they did run a segment on “Morning Joe” where they surprisingly did something I don’t think I’ve ever seen before: admit that Trump was right and illegal immigration did in fact shoot up under Biden. The funniest thing was how regretful host Joe Scarborough seemed about having to say it.

“The border was not Biden’s finest moment, frankly. You can see what happened here. And Trump is not wrong when he talks about how border crossings work quite low. They’re running about 74,000 a month when he left office and they, in fact, did shoot up. Some of it was some things Biden said and some ways that they put a moratorium, for example, on deportations. But in fact, we did get up here almost to 300,000 a month.”

He noted it’s come down some, but it’s still more than it was under Trump. In the meantime, it was “pretty costly.”

My, my. Imagine ever hearing those words on MSNBC and in particular “Morning Joe.”

This was a bit of a hot take: “Some of it was some things Biden said.” Oh, you think? No, some of it was Biden purposely ending the things that worked under Trump immediately when Biden came to office. It isn’t just that it “got worse” — it was directly because of the policies of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. But I suppose if MSNBC  went that far into truth, their heads would explode. The fact that they’re admitting this at all shows how rocked they have been by their narrative.

“The border was not Biden’s finest moment, frankly,” when in a way, it was, from a leftist’s point of view:

● Jared Bernstein, member of Biden’s Council of Economic Advisors: “One thing we learned in the 1990s was that a surefire way to reconnect the fortunes of working people at all skill levels, immigrant and native-born alike, to the growing economy is to let the job market tighten up. A tight job market pressures employers to boost wage offers to get and keep the workers they need. One equally surefire way to sort-circuit this useful dynamic is to turn on the immigrant spigot every time some group’s wages go up.”

● Trump administration senior adviser Stephen Miller in February of 2021: Biden’s Immigration Plan Would “Erase America’s Nationhood.”

● “Labour wanted mass immigration to make UK more multicultural, says former adviser. Labour threw open Britain’s borders to mass immigration to help socially engineer a ‘truly multicultural’ country, a former Government adviser has revealed.”

● Tom Cotton’s Response to Kamala Harris’ Border Failures Should Be the Default for All Republicans: “‘You know, Laura, Kamala Harris didn’t have to go all the way to Guatemala and Mexico to find the root causes of this border crisis because they’re not there,’ Cotton told Fox News host Laura Ingraham [in June of 2021]. ‘The root causes are in the White House.’ He further explained that it ‘happened on January 20th when Joe Biden took office, and he essentially opened our borders, reversing very effective policies that had our borders under control.’”

UPDATE:

Is MSNBC getting into Bulwark territory with their sudden interest in illegal immigration?
