RedState reports that the Biden administration has begun to finish sections of Arizona’s border wall. Upon taking office, the current president gave an order to cease all construction started during Donald Trump’s term, a decision that has proven disastrous as the Yuma sector has become one of the most illegally entered and deadly in the country.
Now, with the sudden reversal, the White House has been left scrambling to explain why it’s all of a sudden the right time to build the border wall. To be frank, they have no good answer, which was illustrated during today’s press briefing. Karine Jean-Pierre continues her reign as the worst press secretary of all time with this scheme.
Doocy: Why is the Biden Administration building an Arizona border wall?

Jean-Pierre is able to respond with such a nonsensical reply. They are “cleaning up the mess” the prior administration left behind? It is a ridiculous claim. Trump made every effort to build the wall quickly and did all he could. That it wasn’t completed under his tenure was due to time constraints and obstruction from Congress. Biden still had the opportunity to enter the White House to continue construction. Biden chose to not do so, which is a complete disaster at the border.
Jean-Pierre then asserted that they are building the border wall to “save lives.”

You can’t help but place your hands gently on the face of the person responding to your question, wondering how hypocritical and ridiculous they are. Conservatives, including myself, have been arguing for open borders as a humanitarian crisis. It is also a fatal one. Democrats continue to ignore this reality and act as though open borders are kind, without ever taking into account the loss of life due to their policies. To see the White House try to spin the “save lives” line after deriding anyone who previously made that argument is astounding but not at all unexpected.
Then there’s the problem of Karine Jean-Pierre’s past statements. Being the radical that she is, she spent most of the Trump administration asserting that any type of border wall is “racist.” That’s led to some rather inconvenient side-by-sides.

It’s all fun and games when you are grifting for MSNBC viewers, but Jean-Pierre is learning quickly that actually governing is a different story. Still, I don’t expect the Biden administration to actually do what it takes to fix the border. They’ll just put a few bandaids on, claim they did something, and keep illegal immigration flowing. Jean-Pierre will demonstrate her abject incompetence for the job while she waits.
