Republicans have said it’s because of the Biden administration’s weak immigration policies.
The government has said it’s a symptom of the unprecedented displacement of people worldwide. Biden has pursued a two-fold immigration policy: punishing undocumented border crossings and expanding legal avenues to apply to get into the U.S.
Migrants say the long wait for appointments to request asylum tempts them to cross the U.S. border without papers.
Funny how this problem magically resurfaces every 4 years leading up to the election. Surely you’ll all remember the “migrant caravan” of 2019/2020 that was never mentioned again once Trump lost the election.
