Biden and Trump at the border

In fact, the 4th year would be a killer for immigrants to come as the DHS isn't allowed to close the border and Biden wanting to give crossers work permits asap, it will be a royal nightmare.

And kinda funny, the crossing numbers might be down in the Tx area's but it's not because of Biden or any of his Policies, it's Abbot. OTOH the SoCal and Ariz crossings are way up now.

Eagle Pass, Texas — In recent weeks, the flow of migrants crossing into the U.S. illegally has largely shifted away from Texas, concentrating instead in Arizona and California, where immigration officials are now recording roughly 60% of all unlawful border crossings, according to internal federal government figures obtained by CBS News.

Overall illegal crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border have dropped sharply since soaring to a record high in December. In January, Border Patrol recorded 125,000 migrant apprehensions in between ports of entry along the southern border, compared to nearly 250,000 in December, preliminary federal data show. But the geographic trends of those migration flows have also changed dramatically.  
Over the past weeks, the Tucson sector in Arizona and the San Diego sector in California have been the busiest Border Patrol regions for migrant crossings. In both sectors, more than 1,000 migrants have been entering the U.S. illegally each day in remote desert areas like Lukeville, Arizona, and Jacumba Hot Springs, California, in recent weeks, taking advantage of gaps in the border wall or holes cut by smugglers.

A few things:

1) I saw an interview last night where it was suggested that Biden should have gone to AZ or CA for that reason.

2) P01135809 could have gone there without an invitation like he got from Abbott.

3) P01135809 took shots that the governors of those two states also because...not republican.

4) This takes nothing away from the fact that Biden and republicans came up with something to help and P01135809 doesn't have any plan, nor does he want anyone else to have a plan.  He wants something to campaign on.
