"In the meantime, he has tools that he's used to make sure we do this. We actually deal with the immigration system in a humane way, in a way that actually deals with what we're seeing at the border. And that's why you've seen the parolee program be so successful. When it comes to illegal immigration, you've seen it come down by more than 90%. And that's because of this, the actions that this president has taken," Jean-Pierre said.

Why would they have to send 1500 troops if illegal immigration is down 90%?

There is good news for the GOP today - the Screen Writers Guild is on strike for the foreseeable future!

The others on your list haven't be arrested or convicted of any crimes.
If they are, and Biden pardons them, then you might have a point..

Welp, rioters that were the beneficiaries of Kamala Harris’ bail assistance fund have now been accused and convicted of numerous new crimes-including murder. These were bad people.
See what happens when you go flaccid on violent people? They’ll even come back and do damage to the side that enables them as well.
Maybe that easy bail thing shouldn’t have happened.

Has a lot to do with legal asylum seekers turning themselves in at the border, rather than crossing the border illegally. So you need manpower to process them and hear their cases. What really needs to happen is to appoint a shit ton more judges to hear and process these cases quickly rather than waiting years to get them processed and approved or denied.

Just what we need. And a president with over 30,000 lies and counting.
Oh boy, let's do that. A president that broke another decades long tradition by being too afraid to go to even one White House Press Corps dinner.
Guess that's why he's the overwhelming choice of Republicans at this stage.
Can't wait.

Biden's press secretary said illegal immigration was down by 90%, and that's your takeaway? Thanks for letting the board know that you're incapable of processing basic information or conveying an original thought. Is there a Democratic party line that you won't tow? Sad..

I wasn't responding to the comment's Biden's press secretary made. I was responding to the suggestion that the press conferences of 2017-2020 were so much better. I guess you are comfortable with alternate facts and 30,000 presidential lies. Sad...

No one said they were better, just that the press handled them completely different. This administration gets a free pass, and there is zero accountability anywhere. That’s sad.
