It was actually a pit stop on his way to Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>He never met an actual migrant or got to see what the streets really looked like. Everything was sanitized and clean and orderly.

I now know the president not only lies when he talks but also wants the cameras to lie for him.<\/p>\n<p>The mainstream media will now tell the public: Don\u2019t believe your eyes, only believe what we tell you.

His visit was just a photo-op, since he plans to run again for president in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>What bothers me as a proud American is how politicians seem to revel in their hubris and incompetence. Biden never admits when he has made a mistake, and Vice President Kamala Harris thinks she is doing a wonderful job.<\/p>\n<p><em>Martin Garfinkle<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Staten Island<\/em><\/p>\n<p>After two years of the agonizing southern border invasion, little did we know how easy it was to fix the problem.
