CNN Anchor Pretends She’s Shocked After Border Patrol Head Predicts Size of Next Influx of Illegal Aliens – Opinion

In this episode of “The Most Trusted Name in News”…

First, let me just say this: If there’s a smugger, more condescending anchor on CNN than Brianna Keilar — and I realize the bench is deep — I have yet to see him or her. There. Now I feel “better.”

CNN reports that Biden Border Crisis will see another record-breaking increase in illegal aliens crossing the US-Mexico borders this spring. Officials are now scrambling to create more facilities, and waiting for prison buses to take these migrants.

Hang on. Let me make a suggestion. You can stop them at the border. Send them home.

Anyway, U.S. Border Patrol chief Raul Ortiz told CNN in an exclusive interview his agency is getting ready to apprehend as many as 8,000 illegals daily — More than twice the amountDaily number for the 2019 Trump Administration surge. While Border Patrol–at times–apprehended 8,000 migrants daily, the number has never been the norm.

That staggering number “will probably become the norm over the next 30 to 45 days,” Ortiz said. CNN pointed out that this fiscal year has already seen more than 940,000 arrests. It began in October 2021. Worse, Ortiz told CNN, he is already “managing a flow that’s significant,” and that the influx is “going to put additional strain” on his resources and agents.

(Joe “It’s Trump’s Fault” Biden and Kamala “Root Causes” Harris were unavailable for comment.)

Fast-forward to Brianna Keilar, co-anchor of CNN’s “New Day,” who, my guess is, did her best to pretend she was shocked by Ortiz’s predictions — given that she’s undoubtedly been aware of the never-ending Biden Border Crisis and related numbers of illegals flowing into America from the outset.

Here’s Keilar, as transcribed by The Blaze.

Officials in the United States are preparing for an unprecedented influx of immigrants trying to cross into Mexico this spring. CNN’s exclusive interview with the Border Patrol chief reveals that they are expecting a shocking 8,000 arrests each day.

“That is a huge number,” she exclaimed.

One wonders when numbers are “huge” in Ms. Keilar’s eyes and when they are not.

As we reported in January, 170,191 illegals were apprehended in December — 4,400 more than in the previous month and a record over the next highest December by 100,000. The December arrests were 140% higher than in January and ran at a rate of 4.4x the historic average. Even worse, Biden’s administration has ignored this crisis.

CNN reporter Priscilla Alvarez explained to Keilar why Ortiz’s prediction is highly concerning.

So there’s a couple reasons why the concern is right now: number one, typically, border arrests go up in the warmer months and we’re heading into the spring so we’re already starting to see that happen. [And Biden’s in the White House.]

Number 2: We are still waiting on the Trump-era emergency pandemic rule to be approved. [Nonsense. Biden’s in the White House,]

The rule gave authorities the ability to refuse entry at the border. The CDC will decide next week whether this rule remains in effect. [Wait — Biden pledged throughout the 2020 primaries to, in effect, open the border. And Biden’s in the White House.]

If it doesn’t, that means we go back to the traditional protocols, which would be releasing migrants, sometimes monitoring them when that happens, detaining them, or removing them if they don’t have an asylum claim. [Because Biden’s in the White House.]

This takes work, and it takes time. [Did I mention Biden’s in the White House?]

Biden likes the sock puppet media.

One reason that the lapdog media may be beginning to alter its tune on border crises is for the same reason as it did with COVID-19 is polls.

As we reported in February, even an internal Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee poll found that Democrats are likely to get their asses handed to them in the 2022 midterms — principally over Biden’s disastrous policies and purposely self-created crises.
