Priceless
And yes I believe this is 1000% his doing.
1. We were building walls/fences.
2. We had agreements with other nations to stop the caravans and hold people in their nations as the process went through.
3. He stopped both of those.
4. He all but invited them in and MANY democrats actually campaigned down there and weren't refuted.
5. Neither he nor Harris has bothered to tour the mess.
6. We are breaking records on the southern border NOW and not the good kind.
Of course it is.
We are up 5X over last year this time in terms of border encounters.
5X.
Biden really fucked this up.
Bad argument. Our nation was shut down last year. If you’re going g to blame him for a 5x increase at the border then you also have to give him credit for the economic boom we are going to see this year. You gonna do that?
Still 1.6X over 2019 and 3.4X over 2018
Biden owns this nonsense lock, stock and barrel.
Your stats show a 2x surge between 2018 and 2019. What’s up with that? If Trumps policies were so good then shouldn’t the numbers be trending down?
Biden rang the dinner bell, rolled back Remain in Mexico, which was an obvious deterrent, and they came a-runnin'.
Even NPR acknowledged Trump's record:
"Overall, immigration plummeted by almost half in the first three years of his presidency."
And indicated "Vice President Joe Biden, meanwhile, promises to systematically undo nearly every one of the changes Trump has made to the nation's immigration system."
"Apprehensions at the
southern border fell dramatically from more than 40,000 per month late last year to 18,754 in February, and just 12,193 in March. The administration is going out of its way to highlight those numbers.
"Last month was the lowest month for immigration illegally into our country in 17 years," said Attorney General Jeff Sessions at a news conference in El Paso, Texas, last week. "That is a remarkable thing to accomplish.""
17 year low. Let me know when Biden comes close to that number.
Trump wasn't right on everything, but his policies on immigration were effective. Of course rolling those things back caused a surge.
Biden owns this. His words and his actions spurred this, and clearly so. He said he was going to do these things. He did what he said he'd do and the numbers spiked. Pretty clear cause and effect.
