President Biden’s border failures continue to make headlines. During a recent appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem stunned host Dana Bash into silence by asking a simple question about Joe Biden’s border record: “What has he done?”
“You just mentioned, this issue has been stalemated because of politics for decades. And maybe he [Biden] does have some abilities but the asylum process and the detention process. I mean, it is a mess. So why not at least fix that? Why not take yes for an answer?” Bash questioned.
“I think that he would have the ability to fix that, a broken immigration policy, if the President could show that he was acting in good faith. Make an announcement that you’re changing your policies, you’re reallocating resources, and going to start protecting the United States of America and you’d have Republicans coming down to the White House asking that — to be partners on fixing our immigration policies,” Noem stated.
“Instead, what we’ve got is this partisan bickering back and forth and no solutions while people invade our country,” Noem continued. “We’ve had almost 10 million people come into our country, and we’ve got a lot of people that have been on the terrorist watch list – dangerous criminals that are coming into the United States who do not love us, that we’re allowing to enter our country. It’s an unsafe situation and the president can be the one who stands up and shows leadership at this time. Change your policies. Build a wall. Secure the border, and then let’s fix the immigration policy. But we don’t have to compromise one to do the other.”
“Governor, President Biden is negotiating. He didn’t want to do any of this. He’s negotiating because this is what Republicans wanted them to do. So why not take the win?” Bash asked.
“What has he done?” Noem questioned as Bash remained silent.
Bash goes completely silent.
