Bidenflation Is Still Sky High

Biden and Democrats’ failed policies are squeezing Americans’ wallets and robbing them of their hard-earned money.

What you need to know:

• January's Consumer Price Index rose by 6.4% compared to last year, remaining excessively high.
• Eggs are up 70.1%; 
• Fuel oil is up 27.7%;  
• Airline fares are up 25.6%
• Electricity is up 11.9%;  
• Groceries are up 11.3%. 
• Real average hourly earnings fell 1.8% since last year, marking the 22nd month in a row under Biden in which inflation has outpaced wages. 
• Year-over-year real wages have now been negative for 22 straight months  - ever since Biden's $1.9 trillion "stimulus." 
• January’s Producer Price Index rose by 6% since last year, coming in above economists’  expectations. 
• This marks the 22nd month in a row that wholesale inflation has been above 5% year-over-year.
• A record number of Americans say they are worse off under Joe Biden.

The bottom line:

Republicans are working overtime to fix the problems that the Biden administration has created and worsened, and thanks to strong Republican leadership Americans can look forward to a bright economic future.    

23 Months Of The Worst Border Crisis Ever

Biden's border crisis continues to set records and only gets worse by the day. 

What you need to know:

• Customs and Border Protection data released in a late night news dump last Friday evening shows 156,274 illegal immigrants were apprehended attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border in January.
• This is the highest total for a January in 22 years. 
• 9,393 unaccompanied children were apprehended.
• At least 53 people on the terror watchlist have been apprehended trying to enter the U.S. between ports of entry so far this fiscal year. 
• 67,690 illegal immigrants were apprehended from countries outside the Northern Triangle and Mexico, showing that Biden’s crisis is global.
• This is the first time in history that monthly apprehensions at the southern border have surpassed 150,000 for 23 consecutive months. 
• With 3,500 to 4,500 encounters daily, this dwarfs the definition of a “crisis” set by Obama’s DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson when he said that “more than 1,000” apprehensions a day would constitute a “crisis.”
• Nearly 6 million illegal immigrants have crossed the border since Biden took office. 
• This includes the 1.2 million gotaways that have escaped past Border Patrol into the U.S.
• Border officials say that the official number of gotaways vastly undercounts the illegal immigrants who make it into the U.S.
• Illicit drugs are flowing into the country at an alarming rate. 
• The amount of fentanyl seized in January is the equivalent of more than 320 million  lethal doses. 
• A recent Yahoo News/YouGov poll found that just 31% of Americans approve of how Biden is handling immigration, a new low.

The bottom line:

The Biden administration is absurdly bragging about the border numbers. This January is WORSE than last January. When he brags, Biden is bragging about the worst border crisis in history.
