    Was the Republican gov outraged at Trump averaging 28,000 more border crossings under Trump compared to Obama as well?

    Even if Biden managed over 100k per month, every month for the rest of the year he still won't match Trump in 2019.. Keep in mind 2019 was post the 2018-midterm migrant caravan issue.



    Data from:

    Maybe if they could just cut the partisan crap for 5 minutes they could actually work on a solution.

    And regarding claims that his EO's have somehow caused a flood since he took office?

    He has 3 EO's that involve immigration and the border:
    1. "Proclamation on the Termination Of Emergency With Respect To The Southern Border Of The United States And Redirection Of Funds Diverted To Border Wall Construction" - Pauses funding of new section of borderwall and directs "The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Attorney General, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and the heads of any other appropriate executive departments and agencies, and in consultation with the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, shall develop a plan for the redirection of funds concerning the southern border wall, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law. The process of developing the plan shall include consideration of terminating or repurposing contracts with private contractors engaged in wall construction, while providing for the expenditure of any funds that the Congress expressly appropriated for wall construction, consistent with their appropriated purpose. The plan shall be developed within 60 days from the date of this proclamation. "
    2. "Executive Order on Creating a Comprehensive Regional Framework to Address the Causes of Migration, to Manage Migration Throughout North and Central America, and to Provide Safe and Orderly Processing of Asylum Seekers at the United States Border" - Build report on "(i) the United States Strategy for Addressing the Root Causes of Migration (the “Root Causes Strategy”); and(ii) the United States Strategy for Collaboratively Managing Migration in the Region (the “Collaborative Management Strategy”)." also "The Secretary of Homeland Security and the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in coordination with the Secretary of State, shall promptly begin consultation and planning with international and non-governmental organizations to develop policies and procedures for the safe and orderly processing of asylum claims at United States land borders, consistent with public health and safety and capacity constraints."
    Again, this has time frames of 60-180 days to review migration.
    3. Proclamation on Ending Discriminatory Bans on Entry to The United States - End the 'muslim ban' EOs, supply report in 45 days on backlog of immigration applications, and provide plan to work through this.

    Literally none of them are immediate actions that impact the southern border.

    I don't have an issue with having different opinions about how immigration should work on the Southern border, but at least argue the actual facts rather than making up 'fake news' to suit your narratives.
