In the same briefing, continued to be defensive, refusing to call it a "crisis."
Instead, he kept calling it a "challenge," and claiming DHS was addressing it. The previous month, CBP had recorded just over 101,000 apprehensions. This month we hit 239,000+.

A few weeks later, told ABC, "The message is quite clear--do not come. The border is closed, the border is secure."
In March, apprehensions would shoot up to 173k+, almost 6k apprehensions *per day*. The border was wide open then and it’s wide open and unsecure now.

In the same hearing, claimed: "We do have a plan to address migration at the southern border...and we're starting to see results."
The only results have been record levels of illegal immigration and dangerous drugs pouring across the border. #BidenBorderCrisis

In a hearing last month, had the gall to claim that his DHS had "effectively managed an unprecedented number of non-citizens seeking to enter the United States."
This is an objective lie, which the numbers make clear.

And as told recently, he does not think his and Joe Biden's open-borders policies are responsible for any of the historic border crisis that they have intentionally caused.
Just watch:
Replying to
His lies, refusal to accept responsibility, and central role in overseeing the worst border crisis in American history are why must be, and will be, impeached when the next Congress is seated. #BidenBorderCrisis

Trump knew he lost the 2020 election, so he oversaw a scheme to overturn the will of the American people. When the Vice President refused to go along with it, he unleashed a violent mob against Pence at The Capitol.
