That wasn't praise at all he was being diplomatic with some snark thrown in.

"He wants to claim credit for it" HE WANTS is the key word, and his sycophants will fall all over themselves to praise him as they do at the briefings where he falls asleep. So of course, they will give him credit for something he urged congress to halt during his campaign so he ALONE could solve it.

Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

Jefferies is a good solid Congressional Rep.
