WaPo's Jen Rubin debunked by own outlet over border crisis

Washington Post columnist Jennifer "The Fake Conservative" Rubin contradicted the outlet, who actually pays her money for her twaddle, published a piece defending the Biden-Harris administration referring to the current border surge as "seasonal." 

"The administration was caught flat-footed by the issue, but it made clear that the number of arrivals kept pace with the usual seasonal trends plus some pent-up demand to leave Central America due to two hurricanes and the pandemic. Biden officials vowed to get things under control," Rubin falsely asserted.

But Nick Miroff, another writer for WaPo said in his own piece last week that the "seasonal" claim was bogus.

"At a March 25 news conference, Biden falsely described the increase as a seasonal norm, not a result of his policies or approach," Miroff wrote last week, causing leftist heads to spin. "'The truth of the matter is: Nothing has changed,'" Biden mumbled. "'It happens every single, solitary year.'"

Miroff explained that "there are widespread worries" about Biden's poor management of the U.S. southern border as a record 21,000 teens and children are in HHS shelters, where they sleep in shifts at times due to the overcrowded conditions. Border Protections has projected that 184,000 unaccompanied children, future Democrat voters, could reach the border in 2021.

Rubin grudgingly admits that the number of [illegal] migrants "is still at historic highs." But, she asks, if children "are processed swiftly and humanely and given a chance at a far better life than what they fled, is it a 'crisis'"? 

Yes, it's a crisis for American citizens whose security is threatened by the hordes of people, a significant number who bring the coronavirus with them, who trample the land of those who live by the borders, and the victims of crimes in cities and towns where they are released, of those who came here legally and did everything correctly to become an American citizen, and for those who will not get a job because it was given to a migrant willing to take a pittance for the work while making fat cats fatter.

Some Republican lawmakers say the root cause of the border crisis began when Biden reversed Trump's border policies, such as the "Remain in Mexico" policy, which kept illegal migrants in Mexico while awaiting court hearings.

Rubin's piece gives Biden the benefit of the doubt as she insists that he repeatedly told migrants not to come to the United States. But that has as much value as Biden telling the public to get vaccinated for the coronavirus while still wearing a mask outdoors with nobody close to him. It tells the public that he doesn't trust the vaccine and it begs the  question as to why bother getting vaccinated at all.

Like Rubin, White House chief of staff Ron Klain tried to argue on Sunday that the current crisis wasn't his boss's fault because, well, just because.

Biden has handled the border crisis as well as a one-arm juggler on a pogo stick in a minefield. The American public is beginning to see that too.
