NY Times “Discovers” Illegal Immigration
Segment #699
We have covered immigration and Biden’s failure on the border for almost 5 years. The Biden Administration consistently maintained the border was closed and immigration was not a problem. Video tape told the story as between 10 and 20 million illegals poured across the border. This was purposeful as Biden even flew migrants directly to interior cities in the middle of the night. Now the New York Times has suddenly discovered that illegal immigration was a real thing. This article is nonsense as they downplay “mistakes” Biden made. The New York Times is engaging in major CYA as they now see the crime and fraud that was caused by policies they endorsed in the past. I dumped my subscription to the New York Times years ago and I again understand why I did.
Key New York Times Article on Biden's Immigration Policies
A prominent New York Times article from December 7, 2025, titled "How Biden Ignored Warnings and Lost Americans' Faith in Immigration," examines how President Biden and his advisers rejected recommendations to address the border crisis, contributing to Donald Trump's 2024 reelection. The piece details early warnings from policy aides about potential chaos from lenient policies, yet Biden prioritized reversing Trump-era measures like halting deportations and wall construction. This led to migrant encounters doubling at the southern border, overwhelming facilities and cities.nytimes
Policy Decisions and Outcomes
Biden's administration created legal pathways like the CBP One app and programs for migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela (CHNV), allowing over a million entries to reduce illegal crossings. Despite these efforts, the number of migrants released into U.S. cities awaiting hearings rose from 3 million to 7.6 million. Critics, including former officials, noted misjudgments on migration scale and political impact, alienating voters including Latinos.nytimes+3
“In this compelling interview, Michael Smerconish sits down with New York Times journalist Christopher Flavelle to dissect Flavelle’s latest piece: how President Biden’s immigration policies — despite their ambitions — ended up eroding public trust and paving the way for Donald Trump’s resurgence.”
Listen below to how the buffoon from the NY Times discusses his analysis of Biden’s immigration policy.
Thank you Megyn for bringing some real journalism to reporting of the news. Megyn’s right - this is about plausible deniability, CYA, and sheer cowardice to do the right thing.
