restripe, You are obviously still not seeing the southern boarder situation with any real recognition of reality either. As others had said your
ugly partisanship makes you look ignorant. One i just bumped into while on another mission is perfect for treating your border problem.

"Sick, I wonder how much they are giving our new friends coming over the border"

Biden in a bind on the border: 'The politics finally got the better of their policy'
"Putting the U.S.-Mexico ‘border crisis’ narrative into context
[...]
It may seem ironic, but even as it carried out the cruelest anti-migration policies in decades, the Trump administration presided over the largest flows of migration at the U.S.-Mexico border since the mid-2000s.

This continued through Donald Trump’s last months in office, which saw migration rise sharply even as stringent pandemic measures made the pursuit of asylum impossible. This shows the futility of declaring war on asylum, and the inevitability of large migration flows at a time of overlapping security, economic, political, public health, and climate crises.
P - The jump in migration of Trump’s final months continued accelerating during Joe Biden’s first two months in office. This is happening even as Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) keeps in place “Title 42 .. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-03-26/pdf/2020-06327.pdf ,” a probably illegal Trump-era pandemic provision that expels most migrants within hours, regardless of their protection needs.
Is there a “crisis” of people attempting to cross the border?
The increased numbers of people crossing the border right now is something that border experts have predicted .. https://www.wola.org/analysis/5-regional-migration-strategies-covid-19-united-states/ .. for some time now. The roots of what is happening are in the Trump administration policies that caused massive numbers of people to be stuck on the Mexican side of the border—policies like “Remain in Mexico” (which forced over 70,000 asylum seekers to wait for their U.S. court dates in Mexico border cities) and “metering,” a practice under which U.S. border authorities place severe limits on who is allowed to approach ports of entry and ask for asylum, in violation of U.S. and international law.
"

After promising to "undo the moral and national shame of the previous administration," Biden is finding it easier said than done.

And Republicans are still insisting Biden is promoting “uncontrolled illegal immigration into the country,” as Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley said during a hearing with Mayorkas.

For some, like Frank Sharry, the longtime head of the immigration advocacy group America's Voice, it’s all too familiar to see a Democrat have their dreams — and backbone — crushed by a media firestorm over an immigration flashpoint.

“I’ve been in this debate for 40 years, and it feels like groundhog,” Sharry said, noting every president for decades has dealt with surges of Haitian and Central American migrants.

On 2nd thought, since i'm here this could further enlighten you IF you had what
it takes to accept it in the spirit the authors of the articles obviously put them in:

The Situation at the U.S.-Mexico Border Can't Be 'Solved' Without Acknowledging Its Origins

"What a Reagan-era law can teach Democrats about legalizing undocumented immigrants
[...]

In the years after its implementation, it mitigated unauthorized immigration and improved socioeconomic mobility for the immigrants who were legalized and their families, leading to a new surge of Latino political power. But it still didn’t resolve the challenge of unauthorized immigration for good, given that the undocumented population in the US has more than quadrupled in the intervening years.
P - Though some have argued that a similar bill could never pass in today’s partisan environment — particularly following former President Donald Trump’s efforts to stir up anti-immigrant sentiment — IRCA’s prospects seemed similarly bleak. It was the result of more than 15 years of negotiations, with the anti-immigrant and pro-immigrant camps in Congress drawing strict battle lines. And it was declared “dead” several times before it ultimately passed, earning it a reputation as the “corpse that would not die.”
P - That should serve as a lesson to today’s lawmakers, who could be doing more to exhaust the option of bipartisan legislation rather than staking their hopes on managing to keep their caucus unified enough to pass a bill through budget reconciliation without any Republican votes, said Charles Kamasaki, a senior cabinet adviser at the immigrant advocacy group UnidosUS who wrote a book about IRCA .. Immigration-Reform-Corpse-That-Will/dp/194213455X?ots=1&ascsubtag=[]vx[p]22321654[t]w[r]google.com[d]D" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer ugc" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/Immigration-Reform-Corpse-That-Will/dp/194213455X?ots=1&ascsubtag=[]vx[p]22321654[t]w[r]google.com[d]D .
P - “These kinds of bills are really hard to pass. Before they pass, they almost invariably die,” he said. “You have to be in a constant search for where you can get the votes. And that inevitably involves trade offs and compromises that aren’t necessarily fully satisfactory to either side.”
P - Partisanship has risen sharply since the mid-1980s, but some immigration experts believe that it’s still worth it for Democrats to pursue serious bipartisan negotiations on immigration — if not to actually identify room for compromise and achieve an agreement, then to convince their caucus that budget reconciliation is the only way forward. Failing to act will leave millions continuing to live in the shadows as kind of permanent underclass, vulnerable to exploitation and to removal from a country where many of them have laid roots.

[... to end ...]

Instead, if Americans are serious about changing the situation at the border, we need to address the push and pull factors behind Central American migration. We need to acknowledge the reality of the U.S. economy (in particular, that it demands immigrant labor to work low-wage jobs) and work to construct new legal frameworks .. https://www.cato.org/blog/mexican-president-amlo-proposes-new-guest-worker-visa-based-bracero-program .. that reflect that reality. We need to target financial and logistical support to encourage Central American countries to address the poverty and inequality that fuel migration, rather than cutting foreign aid .. shorturl.at/cfzDR , as the Trump Administration did. We need to do all we can to end the pervasive gang violence that pushes so many migrants out of their homelands. And of course, we must continue to evaluate our own historical and contemporary role in creating the longstanding problems that are pushing Central Americans to migrate.

Republicans are offering immigrants free plane rides to northern states with the promise of a home and a job. Governor Desantis using his state funds to fly them from Texas. Governor Abbott is sending chartered buses to northern cities, been doing it for months.
