Overrun and overwhelmed

Wall Street Journal: "Why Immigration Is Now the No. 1 Issue for Voters - The topic—a weak spot for Biden—ranks as more important than inflation and the economy, polls show."

Heck of a job, Joey:

The Cato Institute, Nov. 2023:

According to new data published last month, the Biden Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has removed a higher percentage of arrested border crossers in its first two years than the Trump DHS did over its last two years. Moreover, migrants were more likely to be released after a border arrest under President Trump than under President Biden.

In absolute terms, the Biden DHS is removing 3.5 times as many people per month as the Trump DHS did. These figures are important for understanding how each administration has carried out border enforcement.

Of course, the absolute numbers of releases have been higher under President Biden, but that reflects much higher arrivals, not any meaningful change in policy.


But how much faith can we put in a woke, far left organization like the Cato Institute?

You've convinced me - there is no actual border crisis. Biden has it well under control.

But that means we need to find some explanation other than a "border invasion" for why Biden's campaign is circling the drain.

Do you have any suggestions?

Scurrying from facts to feelings. Your premise needs a rethink.
