    So pray tell... how did DT get the #s down to 40k per month?

    Tell me the full list of EO your turnip did to undo his effective plan?

    Here's a review of your turnips f-up

    From DAY ONE:

    The list of orders includes reissuing protections established under the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, halting further construction of a border barrier and rolling back interior immigration enforcement priorities put in place by the previous administration.

    Joe Biden knowingly and purposely blew up the border in 2021 — don’t believe his blame game now

    The new president set out in his initial days and weeks in office to destroy what President Donald Trump had built, most consequentially in the Feb. 2 executive order.


    By then, mind you, there had already been significant action to loosen up on the border, including on his first day in office.

    The Feb. 2 order emphasized an effort to “enhance lawful pathways for migration to this country” and revoked a slew of Trump rules, executive orders, proclamations and memoranda.


    The sense of it was that there’s nothing we can or should do on our own to control illegal immigration; rather, we had to fix deep-seated social, economic and political problems in Central America instead.


    It called for getting more refugees into the United States, using parole to let more migrants join family members here, enhancing access to visa programs and reviewing whether the United States is doing enough for migrants fleeing domestic or gang violence, among other things.


    And it put on the chopping block numerous Trump policies that had helped establish order at the border, from Trump’s expansion of expedited removal, to his termination of a parole program for Central American minors, to his memorandum urging the relevant departments to work toward ending “catch and release.”


    Most important, it targeted two of the pillars of Trump’s success at the border: the Migrant Protection Protocols, better known as Remain in Mexico, and the safe-third-country agreements with the Northern Triangle countries that allowed us to divert asylum seekers to Central American countries other than their own to make asylum claims.


    After a few fits and starts thanks to legal challenges, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas indeed ended Remain in Mexico.


    Although he’s now attempting to portray himself to sympathetic journalists as an innocent bystander to Biden’s border policy, he killed the policy knowing exactly what he was doing.


    “After carefully considering the arguments, evidence and perspectives presented by those who support re-implementation of MPP, those who support terminating the program and those who have argued for continuing MPP in a modified form, I have determined that MPP should be terminated,” he said in an October 2021 memo.

    He acknowledged, by the way, that the policy “likely contributed to reduced migratory flows.”

    For his part, Secretary of State Antony Blinken moved expeditiously.

    On Feb. 6, 2021, he announced the end of the asylum agreements.


    And just like that, the carefully crafted suite of Trump polices that had given us control of the border were demolished.


    It didn’t require esoteric knowledge of border policy to realize how this would play out.


    During the transition, Trump officials warned of a catastrophe if Biden followed through on his promises, and in April 2021, the Washington Post ran a piece headlined “At the border, a widely predicted crisis that caught Biden off guard.”


    Now the Feb. 2 memo feels almost like an artifact from another era, as the open-borders orthodoxy begins to show cracks.

    The White House sent Biden to visit the border and is considering measures to curtail illegal immigration and calling on sanctuary cities to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while Mayor Eric Adams criticizes aspects of New York City’s sanctuary regime.


    The executive order, though, is a stark reminder that the current chaos is the product of deliberate policy.


    It’s all there in black and white, a prelude to a disaster that has roiled the country and could well play an outsize role in Biden losing the presidency.
