Yes, a POTUS can’t close the border, but he can do things like try limit catch and release, and reinstate ‘Remain In Mexico’ for so called asylum seekers.
Remember in 2019 Trump tried to end catch and release for OTM family units caught at the border? Due to the Flores Consent Decree https://www.justsecurity.org/61144/flor ... hdraws-it/
The govt can’t detain illegal minors longer than 3 weeks. Since they can’t process the illegal parents that quick, the children were getting separated from the parents. Makes sense- you don’t let people take their kids to jail with them. The left (amd some Rinicans) lost their collective shit. So it was back to catch and release for the OTM families with minors.
The Remain in Mexico as I understand it was the Trump admin saying you have to claim asylum at a POE. POEs were only processing a limited number per day, so the rest of them would have to ‘Remain In Mexico’ for long periods waiting. Also got a 1st Country agreement with Mexico: https://bipartisanpolicy.org/blog/requi ... -crisis-2/

Looking at historical numbers, its not that Trump was that great on the border, its that Biden has been HORRENDOUS. Going back over 30 years (amd probably going on 250) he is in a class by himself. And it was all intentional.

Yes indeed, Biden has no self awareness and never thought it would explode like this… these migrants can smell his festering weak corpse
Majority of Texas Hispanics support building border wall, sending troops to border

Hispanic voters and officials have shifted right over the years, with more officials leaving the Democratic Party to become Republicans.

This happens when they realize the total loss of common sense that has exposed the Dems as anti American
They didn’t come here for more stupidity and many are realizing that being a Dem is far from what it used to be.
And many where never part of the pathetic US education system meaning although many Latinos might be Dems on arrival, they soon realize something is just not right with Democrats today
Is it a good thing that the governor of Florida is spending Florida's tax revenues to send the Florida highway patrol to the Texas border? This is in addition to spending those same tax dollars to fly immigrants all over the US.
If you lived in Florida wouldn't you be mad about this while paying for the most toll roads of any state. While schools are underfunded.

No
I’m more upset with Joey Rotten Biden letting everything fall apart with his idiotic vindictive globalist policies

Saves FL taxpayers $$ but not having the newly arrived illegals in their state.

Supreme Court Won’t Block Texas From Arresting, Deporting Immigrants Justices reject Biden administration’s request to prevent Texas from exercising new border enforcement power
WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed Texas to begin arresting and deporting noncitizens on its own, rejecting an emergency appeal from the Biden administration that argued states can’t interfere with federal authority over the border.
The court declined to block a Texas law known as SB 4, which makes illegal border crossing a state crime and allows state officials to conduct arrests and deportations. The measure had been on hold as the high court weighed the federal government’s request to halt implementation during ongoing litigation. A federal district judge had enjoined the law after it was challenged by the Biden administration and immigrant-rights groups, but the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in New Orleans, allowed SB 4 to go into effect at least for now.
The Supreme Court’s order, which split the justices along ideological lines, isn’t a final decision on the law’s constitutionality.….

The biden administration has completely and utterly screwed up the border and immigration policy.
There you go CH, you should be so happy I criticized biden that ...
And the Republicans are doing everything they can to assure it remains that way - they have zero interest indealing with the problem.
If Texas wants to do things their way, let them. We'll spend their share of federal funds on the rest of the border and they can pay for the system they want. We should of course continue to urge them to secede and so we can build the wall on the Oklahoma side
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

I’m proud of you but don’t stop yet…. So much more to expose.
Really if Trump got elected, he wouldn’t even need to do that much on the border. They were just stop coming by the millions … and he has promised to close the border on day one! Hell, even Latinos US citizens want the border closed at this point
when a democrat wins the White House, immigration always picks up because it’s like the blue light flashing at Kmart…. They can smell Joe bozos rotting weak festering corpse on the other side of the world

Anything to deflect from the point, as usual.
Fact: Trump never closed the border.
We do have however a golden opportunity for Texas to show us how its done. Let Texas handle their own border at their own expense this year while the Feds handle NM, AZ, and CA.

Was it ‘millions?’ The below #s, which don’t include estimated gotaways, are illegal immigrant encounters at the southern border.
