September 12, 2019. That’s the date Joe Biden’s mouth wrote a check payable to Central and South America migrants that his new Administration cannot cash.

September 12, 2019. It was on this date the DNC held its 3rd debate for 10 contenders, moderated by Univision anchor Jorge Ramos, focusing on immigration.

Ramos went after Biden’s record: "As a presidential candidate in 2008, you supported the border while saying, 'Unlike most Democrats, I voted for 700 miles of fence.' This is what you said."

"Then, you served as vice president in an administration that deported 3 million people — the most ever in U.S. history. Did you do anything to prevent those deportations?"

Ramos then chided Biden for previously deflecting the question, putting the Democrat in the rare awkward position of being held to account for his actions and his words.

"So, let me try once again. Are you prepared tonight to say tonight that you and President Obama made a mistake about deportations? Why should Latinos trust you?"

And that’s when Biden fell into panic mode. First, he defended himself by falling back on bogus media narrative:

"We didn't lock people up in cages, we didn't separate families, we didn't do all of those things," Biden falsely claimed, conveniently omitting that it was the Obama/Biden Admin that built the cages in the first place.

But it’s what shot out of his mouth next would prove two years later to be his undoing:

If President "I would in fact make sure that there is, that we immediately surge to the border — all those people are seeking asylum. They deserve to be heard. That's who we are. We're a nation that says, 'If you want to flee & you're fleeing oppression, you should come.'"

This was the shot heard all the way down to Central American. This is made crystal clear by a statement issued by migrant rights group Pueblo Sin Fronteras, on behalf of an oncoming caravan:

"We recognize the importance of the incoming Government of the United States having shown a strong commitment to migrants and asylum seekers, which presents an opportunity for the governments of Mexico and Central America to develop policies and a migration management ...

...that respect and promote the human rights of the population in mobility. We will advocate that the Biden government honors its commitments."

The Biden Administration is searching for a working narrative that deflects blame for the border crisis they created. Were there hurricanes in Central and South America? Absolutely. Has there been drought? Yes. Trump’s fault? No.

Trump's Acting CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan told Fox News in January: “We’re looking at two groups that are well over 5,000. It’s coming. It’s already started, just as we promised and anticipated it would with this rhetoric from the new administration on the border.”

This is happening bc Joe said what he had to to gain the support of the hispanic community to win an election. Now it's a crisis & Joe has nobody to blame but himself.
Now watch the left/media predictably spin a narrative making Biden the victim & Orange Man Bad.
