    And they significantly decreased during his last year in office.

    but I thought Biden said he needed more money and more laws to secure the border.

    who knows, but that would seem logical. I'm pretty sure that doing more things regarding the border is ........ well, more likely to cost more money.

    For example, it probably costs money to deploy thousands of troops along the border. Et cetera.

    True, but to be fair to Biden - he had to follow the Constitution.

    Of course they are.

    Who wants to end up in a foreign country prison?

    That’s strange. Border has been closed without any new laws other than having a new sheriff in town.

    Great news the immigration has stopped, at least for the time being. We certainly won’t need the extra labor during the DTD - Donald Trump Depression.

    Pretty soon immigrants are going to show up at the ICE offices turning themselves in, in the hopes of a free ride back home due to lack of work here.

    In checking the proposed budget , please note huge increases for immigration spending? Maybe they think Biden is still going to spend it?

    Nope. You are seeing large declines in legal immigration pathways as well. For example, international student applications are way down.

    Also, non-immigration travel appears to be down considerably as well.
