So much to (continue to) be angry about here:
“Encounters” — where? At official crossing locations? Are ALL border agents supposed to be able to compare notes on a minute-by-minute basis and be able to instantly declare “open” or “closed”? What about unofficial crossing places?
“Re-open” — I truly don’t understand the “encounters fall below 1,500” thing. That just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever since anyone actually denied the ability to cross over isn’t going to simply turn around and go home.
Overall: clearly, the proper number is “zero” illegal crossings per day. How is any of this acceptable? Do they think we’re that naive? (I guess so).
Unfortunately, Biden’s policies make all the people who come through at border entrance points legal by giving them an asylum claim document that says ….. please show up in a few years at an immigration office.
Dems only want to process (mostly dishonest) asylum claimants into the country faster without having any visuals of crowded entry points. They do not care what happens to the United States of America. It is outrageous and disgusting.
