I'm just asking why the narrative is that the Biden administration isn't doing their jobs when the numbers being used to say that are evidence of them doing their job...

Illegal crossings, yes. An increase in individuals? Not necessarily. The evidence on crossings since the implementation of Title 42 has been that more of the border crossers are attempting multiple times and we are seeing more repeat offenders in the numbers.

Not really. I'm using information from research on these topics. I've done a class on immigration policy and learned a ton about all of this.
