Lol.
Unprecedented numbers. Yeah.
"Straining resources" is a polite way of saying the Biden administration caused border issues we haven't seen before.
2/3-3/4 of the country wanted border control. The Biden administration would have nothing to do with that until they determined that it was a losing proposition.

Biden’s border security policies didn’t go far enough, but it’s not like he sat on his hands during the last four years.

In particular, it was a mistake on Biden’s part not to have pushed for a bipartisan border deal at the very beginning of his term.   This is a systemic problem that won’t be solved with more piecemeal executive orders.  Our immigration system needs a major overhaul, which has been the case since the early aughts.

They destroyed what every previous administration has used for border policy.
The House had a border deal. It was DOA on arrival in the Senate.
The administration reverted to some semblance of border control when it became obvious to them that their border policies were a failure. But the country had seen thru their failures.
People who fail on the issue should not be given input on addressing border policies.

Have you lost your mind? Biden campaigned on relaxed borders. For his administration the open borders were a feature, not a bug. As Mn said, it wasn’t until it became clear that it was going to cost them the election that anything was done.

Objectively true.

Were England, Ireland, Italy, China, and Germany “bringing their best?” Or simply bringing people looking for opportunity?
"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

Biden went too far no matter how anyone tries to frame it and the House gave the Senate a border package that was DOA at the Senate.
The American public saw thru it and rejected his border policies much the same as Schumer rejected the House border package.

Currently, the 1st comment on the article. With the last sentence including "where did you get the data ?"

Every time Mn posts I think of William H Macy's character in Fargo, then add 30 years.

Say what you want about Trump - Biden's legacy should be complete shit. And no, not because of all the tin foil hat "HE BRRRR OPPENNNEDDD THE BORRRRRRDERRRR" which is mostly bullshit, or INNNNNNFLAAAATIONNNNN - which is mostly Trump's response to COVID.

Dude was way too old to be running in 2020, and WAY to old to run again in 2024, depriving us all of a competitive primary which may or may not (right) have resulted in a different nominee on the Democratic side.

Delusional. Mn literally posted a video from 2019 of Biden saying “Surge the border.” Under his watch, they surged the border. Even left leaning legacy news was laying it at his feet before they turned on him after the debate.

Agree that he didn’t cause inflation.

Disagree he didn’t open the border, it’s not even debatable. It seems you and alum and Ray have resorted to arguing the meaning of “open” rather than actually refuting the massive influx of illegals under his watch.

Yes he shouldn’t have been the candidate and your party and it’s propaganda arm lied to the American people for months to hide his condition because they didn’t have anyone else with a prayer of beating Trump.

Don't give a shit.  He wasn't in charge in 2019.  Will readily admit there was a surge in immigration under his watch, which had a lot to do with an ultra-hot labor market.

I will say this.  I'm looking forward to Trump's inauguration next week. Time to move on.  Soon Mn and you will be issued new immigration talking points from your Orange God Emperor.

I was told the surge in immigration was due to asylum seekers and that the border was under control.
I must have missed the labor arguments presented by Biden and/or Mayorkas after Biden assumed office. But I doubt it.
