Republicans have said it’s because of the Biden administration’s weak immigration policies.
The government has said it’s a symptom of the unprecedented displacement of people worldwide. Biden has pursued a two-fold immigration policy: punishing undocumented border crossings and expanding legal avenues to apply to get into the U.S.
Migrants say the long wait for appointments to request asylum tempts them to cross the U.S. border without papers.
Always struck me as a tad silly that conservatives are simultaneously hardcore against immigration but also don’t give a shit about climate change. Those guys sure are a heap of cognitive dissonance.
