Commentary: White House Backtracks Joe Biden Calling the Border Situation as ‘Crisis’

The White House has reacted to comments made by President 👤Joe Biden in which he characterized the crisis at our southern border as a crisis by gently reassuring the American people that the crisis at the border is still not, in fact, a crisis after all.

This is, of course, because the White House’s official position on the border crisis is that whatever is going on with all those refugee children packed like sardines into COVID-non-compliant detention centers, it is definitely not a crisis.

Over the weekend, Biden seemingly went off script, using the C-word — I mean “crisis” — while making comments on his broken promise to cap the number of refugees allowed into the country in 2021 and 2022.

Although he had previously said he would raise his predecessor President Donald Trump’s limit of 15,000 refugees to 62,500 for the 2021 fiscal year — which ends in October –and 125,000 for the 2022 fiscal year, Biden seemed to briefly commit to returning to the cap of 15,000 before acquiescing to outrage from the likes of the Squad, promising to raise the numbers next month.

“We’re gonna increase the numbers. The problem was that the refugee part was working on the crisis that ended up on the border with young people and we couldn’t do two things at once. And now we’re going to increase the numbers,” Biden told reporters of this about-face on Saturday, according to CNN.

Of course, this marks the first time a member of the administration has referred to the “not-a-crisis” as a “crisis” and it was POTUS himself. His handlers scrambled to cover his tracks.

In a carefully crafted spin provided to the noble guardians of truth over at CNN, the Biden White House firmly insisted this “crisis” wasn’t the “crisis” that Biden’s policies have created, which is definitely not a crisis.
