President Joe Biden shuffled into the East Room of the White House on Tuesday, June 4, blamed Republicans for starting the border crisis he created, announced new executive actions he could have taken at any time in the last 3 1/2 years to fix it, and then shuffled out again without taking any questions about why he was acting now, in an election year, rather than earlier.

It was a standard performance by an 81-year-old who has either forgotten his past immigration policies or is in denial about what they caused.
