You should spend more time researching Bidens actual border policies instead of consuming Right wing pundit talking points. I've already given you links and explanations on what Biden has done and is trying to do at the border, but it seems like you're not interested in reality, just repeating things you find in the rage bait right wing echo chamber. Most of them are obviously false or misleading. Do you even care?

I have only one question. During the Trump regime, number of illegals crossing the Southern border stood at somewhere between 200,000 and 400,000 per year. Most of these were detained and deported. Now the number of illegals crossing stand at 2 to 3 million per year. Once the migrants are detained by the border agents, they are released inside the US (for "processing") rather than deporting them. Do you still believe that Biden doesn't have anything to do with this worsening of the situation? And I am sure that in case Trump wins in 2024, then all this migrant inflow would get reduced to a trickle, as was the case in 2016-20.

If you did your own research instead of buying into right wing rhetoric, like I've suggested multiple times, you would be much more informed about the border and any other political issues and realize that much of what you believe and claim right now is simply not true - and your one question is a great example.

You claim that while Trump was president " illegals crossing the Southern border stood at somewhere between 200,000 and 400,000 per year" and for Biden "illegals crossing stand at 2 to 3 million per year".

I'm not sure who told you this, but my best guess is it was someone referring to the numbers published by the US Customs and Border enforcement, since those are really the single source of truth when it comes to border data.

If you were to google the source instead of just taking the word of someone with an obvious political agenda, you'd learn that the numbers for Trump years were not between 200,000 and 400,000 - in reality the 2017 was the lowest year with just over 300,000 and 2019 saw over 800,000. And for Biden, instead of 2 to 3 million be year it's been closer to 1.5 to 2.5 million.

Further more, you would learn important context on the numbers since every graph from any reputable site displaying this data has an asterisk next the numbers for years 2020 and later. That's because they changed the way the data is recorded starting in 2020. Before 2020, only counted apprehensions. 2020 and on counted total encounters meaning each apprehension counted as one, each expulsion counted as one. And many people were apprehended and expelled multiple times in a year.

So, I have only one question to you. Will you stop parroting political rhetoric as if it were fact and start doing your own research? If so I highly recommend you educate yourself on the actual policies Biden has implemented, and attempted to implement on the southern border. It will be eye opening for you.
