That the best you got? Why did border crossings spike in 2019? Why didn't Trump include Nicaragua, Venezuela, Haiti, and Cuba in title 42, they not get Covid in those countries? What happened to the wall Mexico was going to pay for? Eat some facts,
Brown noted that migration started to increase in April 2020 and “continued to rise through the Biden inauguration. So it is not true that the increase started under Biden.” But the decision not to expel unaccompanied children “sped up the increase.”
“A somewhat new phenomenon, being reported by attorneys for migrants in the region, is that it seems that some unaccompanied children actually arrived in Northern Mexico with family members who sent them into the US alone since the U.S. was letting them in, and then the adults would try to come in later,” she said.
At the same time, Title 42 may have artificially inflated the problem of single adults being apprehended, because some are trying to cross repeatedly in short time frames.
“We know that single adults have driven the majority of the total increase in encounters at the border,” Brown said in an email. “But we also have been told by CBP that as many as 1/3 of those are repeat encounters with the same person. We believe that because Title 42 results in rapid expulsion of migrants back to Mexico within a very short period of time, and no immigration process (and therefore no immigration bars being applied), the opportunity cost of migrants to repeatedly try to cross the border is low.”
Brown said there are reports that smuggling operations “are charging rates for ‘up to 3 attempts.'”
Democrats and Republicans are pointing fingers over an increase in illegal immigration at the southern border, and notably an increase in children traveling alone.

I have mentioned all those things in other threads. First, it is the economy stupid. Illegal immigration always ebbs and flows with the economy. When times are good, the economy is booming, they come like flies to honey. When we are in a recession, Covid generated or otherwise, they drop significantly.
Second, Title 42 exacerbated the problem, either because simply kicking someone out and providing no alternative means they are just going to try again. If at first you don't suceed, try, try, again. That distorts the number. But third, the illegal immigration movement merely changed tactics as demonstrated by the unaccompanied children problem.
Finally, I missed the part where you showed me anything that Congress has done to attempt to solve the problem. You Republicans don't want to fix shit, you just want to complain.
