And we think we can all agree this is not great. Biden has said that he will pursue "emergency authority to shut down the border" until it can get back "under control." As war funding is bundled up in the immigration negotiations, Biden's been eager to pursue a deal that unlocks this money while also allowing him to get "tough" on the border by restricting crossings and gutting asylum. This cynical negotiation, using immigrant communities as bargaining chips, is both a moral and electoral failure.

Seems like the border is always "out of control" every four years, and you only hear about it from the news or politicians just saying so.

The caravan that's coming to the US cause their countries have been destroyed by the US 🤷🏿‍♂️ funny how they never mention why refugees want to come here, or why their countries were destroyed
