Biden and the border

No, people did not stop trying to sneak across the border, they just couldn’t do it due to movement restrictions across the globe. This isn’t even a matter of opinion or interpretation. It was well documented at the time. https://www.wsj.com/articles/coronavirus-pandemic-slows-illegal-migration-to-u-s-11586481423

 

Still not explaining why if Trump secured the border his first term, there were more crossings in 2019, his third year as President than the prior two?

And COVID was absolutely the reason numbers dropped in 2020. First, people all over the globe were scared to leave their homes. And second, the pandemic allowed the US to enact Title 42, or remain in Mexico.

A policy that remained in effect despite Biden's desire to end it up until he could declare the pandemic over. And a policy that created a humanitarian crisis just over our border. That much trouble building up on our doorstep was one way or another going to spill over into the US. If you care about migrants as human beings, ending Title 42 was the right move.

 

Dumb. But either way, it’s still a problem that was created by Biden-Harris’ negligence at the border. It is also well-documented that Joe Biden made it a point to undo Trump border policy on Day 1 of his administration. Trump didn’t create the problem. Nor does he share any burden for it as a private citizen. A POTUS can invade a country by executive order. A POTUS can secure our border by executive order. Trump proved that. Trump didn’t create the problem, nor did he get in the way of fixing it. A POTUS does not need congressional approval to secure our homeland.
