I have never suggested migrants were bringing Fentanyl across the border.

The search feature is your friend. Of course that is exactly what you "suggested". #liar

You've just confirmed that it is distraction at the BORDER, the ones we see on TV which are not the legal entry border locations where the vast majority of fentanyl is smuggled through.

Not to mention the fentanyl trafficking that is helped by the Dem's inability to recognize that the border is NOT secure.

conix, Your conservatives repeatedly holds up immigration reform. I believe you yourself have stated you don't agree with giving undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship. Your constantly blaming one side for the problem is frankly getting to be a real fucking burn. Do you whine about the weather as much i wonder. That's something else neither party can control, but which your conservatives work to make worse. Immigration. Not solved by either but made worse by your conservatives.

See, should be again, The Situation at the U.S.-Mexico Border Can't Be 'Solved' Without Acknowledging Its Origins

[...]

Biden’s attempts to address immigration may be new, but the issue is one that has dogged his predecessors for decades. Since the 1970s, Republicans and Democrats alike have tried to address undocumented immigration by constructing ever more draconian policies of border control, deportation and detention—border theater that grabs headlines and sometimes leads to short-term change, but never actually solves the problem.

There’s a reason why the U.S. government has failed for so many years to “control” the border: none of these policies have addressed the real reasons for migration itself. In migration studies, these are known as “push” and “pull” factors, the causes that drive migrants from one country to another.

[...]

A final push factor—with a very important transnational history—is gang violence. MS-13 is now one of the largest gangs in the world .. https://www.justice.gov/eoir/page/file/1043576/download , and has contributed to violent crime across the region. What many Americans don’t know is that MS-13 was founded in poor neighborhoods in Los Angeles in the 1980s, within communities of Central American refugees who had fled civil wars. Many of these gang members were subsequently imprisoned in the United States,

Despite the demand for their labor, U.S. immigration policy makes it very difficult for would-be migrants from Latin America to come to the United States legally. Although U.S. immigration laws allow for family reunification, it can take a decade or more .. https://www.lawfareblog.com/what-are-legal-pathways-central-americans-enter-us .. for U.S. citizens of Central American origin to successfully sponsor family members for visas, and other paths are mostly limited to “highly skilled” immigrants with at least a college degree. Nevertheless, would-be migrants, desperate for a better life, know that if they can make it across the border, odds are they can get a job even without papers. This situation incentivizes risky border crossings and unauthorized entry into the United States.

There is one way that immigrants from Central America can legally migrate immediately—and that is by requesting asylum after they arrive in the United States. To gain asylum, immigrants must prove that they had to leave their country owing to “a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion.” And while many Central Americans could indeed qualify for asylum based on their experiences of persecution, the previous administration made every effort .. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jan/15/invisible-wall-trump-policies-have-curbed-immigration .. to limit their ability to obtain it. Now the Biden Administration must decide whether to restore the asylum framework, which has become the only possible path to legal migration (as well as safety and security) for Central Americans and other migrants who—due to these combined push and pull factors—are desperate to come to the United States.

Another one for you to fucking spend some time on.

conix, If you were really interested in what Biden has done at the southern border you would have come up with something like this

If you did you could even come up with a reply more worthy than for first wasted effort.
