**Dismantling the Narrative: CNN's Premature Celebration of Biden's Border Successes**
In a curious display of preemptive triumphalism, CNN pundits have suggested that the Biden administration has already resolved the border crisis, cleverly anticipating President-elect Donald Trump's ascent to power merely as the figurehead who will take credit for their alleged success.
During a recent segment, CNN's senior national security analyst, Juliette Kayyem, claimed that the “Southern border numbers are down,” implying that the Biden administration's policies have somehow transformed a deeply-rooted crisis into a manageable issue.
Kayyem predicted that Trump would make grand proclamations and enact “shock and awe” tactics, overshadowing the reality that major policy changes are needed to secure the border effectively.
This assertion conveniently glosses over the stark reality of rising migrant encounters during Biden's presidency, which consistently exceeded 100,000 monthly, in contrast to Trump's tenure, where numbers plummeted under stringent immigration policies.
Moreover, Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Homeland Security, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, expressed her commitment to re-implementing these effective border policies, disregarding the CNN narrative that the problem has faded.
As Noem aptly pointed out, despite a slight dip in border crossing numbers, the situation remains a “war zone,” highlighting ongoing challenges that necessitate a robust response from the incoming administration.
While CNN attempts to paint a rosy picture of diminished border activity, facts bear witness to the necessity for strong, decisive immigration enforcement—a cornerstone of Trump’s strategy.
It seems that mainstream media is reluctant to acknowledge the overwhelming evidence: the Biden administration's policies have not resolved the border crisis but rather perpetuated it.
As Trump prepares to take office, the American public watches closely and waits to see how he will tackle the border issues that have remained largely unaddressed by his predecessor.
With a renewed commitment to security and order, the incoming administration signals a shift from the chaos of the past four years towards a more disciplined approach to immigration and border control.
