    At the time, the whirlwind of Biden's deleterious actions made my head spin so that I quipped I needed a scorecard. Thanks for the scorecard.

    Yes it was and suddenly Mexico thought it was a good idea not to be letting so many people through their country. The numbers dropped dramatically during that period.

    But of course the idiot who has the current president saw fit to end that policy and so we have what we have now

    Not nearly in the numbers they do now. Suddenly Mexico thought it was a good idea to not let so many people pass through their country since they would actually be staying.

    Now since they can just pass right through again, the numbers are on the increase.

    If only there were still a policy where they had to remain in Mexico.

    That also gave Mexico plenty of incentive to not let them pass through their country since they had to keep them.

    That was working pretty good so therefore we must put a stop to that

    I prefer they stay their ass in Mexico or part south of there but evidently Democrats prefer that they are in this country.

    How about 10 additional actions for you non-believers . . . Biden was on a roll.
    ---
    21. June 15, 2021: The Biden Administration announced expansion of the Central American Minors (CAM) program to broaden the list of illegal aliens who can sponsor family members through the program, including illegal aliens who claim asylum.

    22. June 16, 2021: Attorney General Merrick Garland rescinded the Trump-era decision In Matter of L-E-A-, thereby expanding asylum eligibility to allow nuclear or immediate familial relationships to be treated as a “particular social group.”

    23. June 16, 2021: Attorney General Merrick Garland rescinded the Trump-era decision in Matter of A-B I and A-B II, thereby expanding asylum eligibility to include gender and domestic relationships as certain social groups, reverting to policy under in Matter of A-R-C-G.

    24. July 2021: The United States Border Patrol (USBP or BP) released at least 50,000 aliens without giving them a “Notice to Appear” (a court date), instead advising them to self-report to ICE on their own. Unsurprisingly, 87% of aliens fail to report.

    25. Aug 5, 2021: The USBP authorized the use of parole plus alternatives to detention (ATD) in the Del Rio Border Sector.

    26. Aug 17, 2021: DHS announced an expansion of alternatives to detention (effectively reinstating and expanding catch and release) and announced the expansion of taxpayer-funded services to illegal aliens in removal proceedings.

    27. Aug 31, 2021: The Biden administration released over 100,000 aliens into the United States between March 21, 2021 and August 31, 2021, without giving these aliens a “Notice to Appear”, instead advising them to self-report to ICE on their own. Of those, nearly 50% of them did not check-in with ICE within the 60-day deadline.

    28. Sep 24, 2021: The Administration falsely accused Border Patrol agents on horseback in Del Rio, Texas of whipping aliens at the border. President Biden condemned the agents, saying the aliens had been “strapped” and vowed “consequences.” Vice President Harris piled on the false allegations, comparing them to oppression and slavery. In fact, DHS Secretary Mayorkas knew the claim was false and even though the agents were exonerated in July 2022, the Administration proposed punishment for the agents.

    29. Sep 30, 2021: DHS Secretary Mayorkas issued a memorandum that states “the fact an individual is a removeable [alien] should [not be the sole] basis of an enforcement action”, effectively using prosecutorial discretion to give deportable aliens a pass to stay in the United States, thereby granting a form of amnesty to many illegal aliens.

    30. Fiscal Year 2021: Throughout Fiscal Year 2021, the Biden Administration distributed more than $300 million in federal law enforcement grants to Sanctuary Cities under SCAAP, Byrne, and COPS programs (amounting to 43% of total awards going to sanctuary cities), financially rewarding cities whose policies encourage illegal immigration.

    Anyone reading this list does not have the ability to dispute even one portion of it..... So they go but the source but the source.... And keep pretending like this administration is not openly for open borders

    When Biden intentionally opens the border and lets the world flood in, do you really think he would enforce any kind of limits?

    Everyone needs to remember that Obama's ghost writer said he didn't like America's exceptionalism and it's probably Obama telling Biden what to do.

    Why won't Schumer bring HR2 up for a vote? It's only been sitting on his desk for nearly a year.

    Because the list is garbage. It is nothing but bullshit that rightists eat up in order to remain angry.

    Well, fewer and fewer people, it would seem.

    'according to Gallup, Joe Biden's reputation among Americans keeps getting worse, while Trump is still doing pretty well... The fact that 39% of people think Biden can manage the government effectively is' odd.

    'GALLUP: does the following apply to Biden or Trump? (+/- shift since September 2020)'

    'Can manage the government effectively:
    Trump 49% (+1)
    Bribed Joe Biden 39% (-13)'

    'Displays good judgement in crisis:
    Trump 45% (+1)
    Bribed Joe Biden 40% (-9)'

    'Is strong and decisive leader:
    Trump 57% (+1)
    Bribed Joe 38% (-8'

    'What is striking about these numbers is that Biden has spent years being fluffed by the media, and Trump has been enduring a nonstop barrage both in the media and in courtrooms across America.'

    'The fluffing hasn't helped, and the barrage against Trump hasn't hurt. One has to wonder what things would look like if the MSM and the establishment weren't doing everything they can to control the narrative. Of all the figures they have helped or hurt over the past few years, the biggest victims have been the media themselves. '

    'People--at least a large number of them--have come to see through the smokescreen.'

    Of course because of Democrats don't have their way they'll stamp their little feet and be obstinate

    I will agree that both sides are doing nothing about immigration to use as a campaign issue.

    There is a huge difference in "doing nothing" an "encouraging it to happen"..
