What I would say to this is how much does Biden deserve blame for the surge. Biden was clearly “hawkish” on the border. He never wavered from that under lots of pressure from the left. This may be as much a matter of political rhetoric from the republicans as anything else. Regardless of that. Biden expelling migrants is the best message he can send both at home and abroad.
The children are reported more because their goal is to cross into the country and then be apprehended. So that works fine. They want to sign up to be released into the community. Not the goal for the adults who came with the children and plan to either abandon them or meet up in the interior or traveled with other adults. Their goal is to enter the country and not be apprehended or detected. The Border Patrol is massively overwhelmed and fully admits that it has large areas now which they cannot cover because they are off dealing with the kids in cages or something. If you believe that there is not increase of crossings in the areas that are more or less wide open now, then that is Bagdad Bob stuff on your part. I am sure there will more to come. More illegals, and more Bagdad denials.
When you say there is more illegals to come, what do you mean? Are you trying to say there will be more “illegals” under Biden than under Trump? If so, no. Biden will have CBP running much better than Trump ever did. It was the same thing with Obama. On the right they cried everyday about illegal immigration but when you drill down the number he was very effective on the border. Much better than Bush or Trump.
It is the same scam you and your ilk are running in the cities. You will argue that crime is down because you are decriminalizing everything- well, frigging duh. Do I think there will be fewer "illegals" under Biden, well, frigging duh to that too. The concept of an illegal is gone. If you are living in Honduras, you are a legal pre-Democrat. We get your gig and script though. It's all good. Joe is just having trouble splainin it. You too. giggle.
You have the imagination of a 4 year old. Biden will mange the border and illegal immigration better than Trump by any metric because it’s almost impossible to do a worse job than Trump did on the border.
Here are some of Biden's "hawkish" immigration policies. https://cmsny.org/biden-immigration-executive-actions/ Demonstrating his hawkish border policy more recently, Joe clearly tells migrants 'don't come over'
Biden elected: 1) China dancing in the streets. 2) Iran dancing in the streets. 3) Drug smugglers dancing in the streets. 4) Human traffickers dancing in the streets. Yup. Biden is doing "better" by your standards and the standards of the usual dem supporters. If you call those "standards."
Those seem like common sense executive orders. Please tell me which ones you have an issue with in relation to the southern border.
1. China expanded its global influence and the trade gap with America in the last 4 years. 2. Iran developed more nuclear material and increased capacity to build more material in the last four years. 3. Violent crime and drug use both increased in the last four years - violent crime by over 15%! 4. human trafficking increased with Trumps mismanagement of the border. These are very good metrics to judge Biden on. As Biden isn’t even 100 days in, it’s a bit early to judge but you should keep track of these and other thing year over year. And we shall see.
