Update (1443ET): President Ron Burgundy read what is perhaps the most audacious attempt to trick Americans into believing the exact opposite of reality - namely, that he didn't cause the border crisis, Republicans are the reason it isn't fixed, and he's here to save the day.

A national IQ test, if you will.

And he's off! To some kind of a start...

After taking steps on his first day in office to undo border security, Biden starts his speech with: I've come here today to do what Republicans in Congress refuse to do, secure the border.

FLASHBACK: January, 2024. Biden claims he has no executive authority to do anything about the border.

“I’ve done all I can do. Give me the power!!"

Today, with his immigration polling in the tank and an election 5 months away, he suddenly has the power.

Former President Trump responded to this attempted sleight of hand, saying that "The truth is that Crooked Joe Biden’s Executive Order won’t stop the invasion…it will actually make the invasion worse."

The truth is that Joe Biden’s Executive Order won’t STOP the invasion—it will make the invasion WORSE.

We recently learned, Biden is secretly granting mass amnesty to hundreds of thousands of these illegal aliens, along with welfare, government benefits, work permits, and jobs.
