During the State of the Union speech on Thurday, Biden didn’t really say what he’d do about the border.
His main talking points were his usual talking points.
Blame Trump. Blame MAGA.
‘Those are the bad guys’, is the general theme of any of his speeches.
That’s how he stays away from talking about what he’s planning on doing to benefit America.
And he does that because he doesn’t have any plans.
It seems all the Biden Administration seem to be focused on is how quickly they can take out this country.
Border Patrol union boss commented:
“He didn’t address what he could do. All he did was blame it on President Trump. But look, I have the opportunity to speak with President Trump. I know that the reason why he didn’t support that bill has nothing to do with politics. It has everything to do with — the president understands it from day one, he could step into office and do a lot more than what that bill does,” Judd said on Fox News’ special coverage of the State of the Union.
“He also understands that if a bill were to be passed today, that there would be no appetite to pass a better bill when he’s in office.”
Fox News reports:
The head of the National Border Patrol Council believes President Biden “slapped every American in the face” during Thursday’s State of the Union address.
It took Biden roughly 40 minutes to get to the issue of immigration, and Brandon Judd said he didn’t believe his remarks were up to par.
“He didn’t address what he could do. All he did was blame it on President Trump. But look, I have the opportunity to speak with President Trump. I know that the reason why he didn’t support that bill has nothing to do with politics. It has everything to do with — the president understands it from day one, he could step into office and do a lot more than what that bill does,” Judd said on Fox News’ special coverage of the State of the Union.
“He also understands that if a bill were to be passed today, that there would be no appetite to pass a better bill when he’s in office.”
Last month, the Senate failed to pass a supplemental spending agreement that included aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan as well as an ambitious border security and immigration package that drew widespread opposition from conservative Republicans in both chambers.
But while the Biden administration and negotiators talked the bill up as a tough but fair way to tackle the border crisis, Republicans in the House immediately declared it a non-starter and conservative opposition in the Senate quickly stacked up. More than 20 Republican lawmakers in the upper chamber argued the provisions would not sufficiently reduce the historic number of illegal migrant crossings, and warned it would normalize record-high levels of illegal immigration.
During his State of the Union address, Biden called the bill “a tougher set of border security reforms than we’ve ever seen,” which drew groans from Republicans in the crowd.
ADVERTISEMENT“Oh, you don’t think so?” Biden said. “Oh, you don’t like that bill, huh? That conservatives got together and said it was a good bill? I’ll be darned. That’s amazing.”
“Look at the facts, I know you know how to read,” the president quipped when Republicans continued to voice their displeasure with his description of the failed legislation.
udd said Trump feels he would have actually hurt the country by supporting the bill. He also believes that the bill only received the support that it did because of the situation President Biden has put the country in. The National Border Patrol Council supported the bill, but Judd wanted Americans to know it’s simply because of how bad things are under Biden.
“He has put us in the situation that we’ve never thought that we would ever be in. We’re apprehending seven times more people than what we normally apprehend. We have more than 10 times the got-aways. We’ve got more fentanyl coming into this country than we’ve ever seen before. We’ve got more dangerous criminals coming into this country than we’ve ever seen before. We’ve got terrorists on the terrorist watch list that are coming into the country,” Judd said.

Here’s Judd last week commenting on Biden’s visit to the border:
Border Patrol union head Brandon Judd SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT:
"The reason why Border Patrol agents are so upset about [Biden's] visit is because he's not going to any location where he's going to be able to evaluate what he needs to do!"

But this next post is from a guy that is so upset about Judd not being an actual Patrol Agent.
Trump can’t pull a fast one over on him. He knows a ‘militia group’ when he sees one.
What a joke these people are.
Yeah, that’s the priority here, it’s not securing the border but making sure the guy is an agent and not with the union.
This guy is not a US Border Patrol Agent, he's President of a Union that represents "Non-supervisory Border Patrol Agents" aka !Militia Groups! 😡 not real US Border Patrol Agents. Its another Trump Tx GOP Gov Abbott Scam. Pres Biden was with the Real US Border Patrol Agents 🤨 pic.twitter.com/CGTtOdjZRM
