I'm listening to a Fox News clip of Ted Cruz whining about the border rn. He's complaining that the wall wasn't completed and there's piles of rusted rebar.. ummm, trump said he was going to have the entire wall built in his first term and Mexico was going to pay for it ?? Why is he whining about Biden not building it? So stupid.
Also rather hypocritical that none of them complained about putting kids in cages and losing track of who their parents are, but now that there are migrant minors held in detention facilities under the Biden administration it's suddenly some major crisis and all Biden's doing. 
IMO, no US administration has ever had perfect border/immigration policies and the USA has an opportunity to do better humanitarian work within central American countries that'll make them more stable so people are able to stay there vs. risk their lives heading North.
It's also funny af that they complain that their Southern border is the "least protected," in the world when something like ~90% of US Border Agents are stationed along their tiny Southern border, and their Northern border with Canada is literally the largest unprotected border in the entire world.. 
I mean, yeah, there are ports.. but in between? More cameras and infrared sensors and such than ever before, but still, thousands of miles long and anyone can cross cross almost anywhere almost any time they want! We road our motorcycles down a long stretch of 0 Avenue last Saturday and saw one US Border Patrol truck parked on the US side, but for miles and miles and miles all you'd have to do is walk across a ditch into a farmer's field and then just keep on going.. there may be surveillance cameras and technology in the area (and I Know they have a monitoring station just South of the border in Blaine where they watch the cameras from the region.) but there's sweet f**k All for physical security -> and this is in/near a populated area.. imagine what it's like in the middle of the country where there's No One around!! Anyways, besides all that, truly beautiful country!! Quite the visual treat of sprawling countryside farmland w/ nice green trees & blue skies/mountain backdrops. Def would ride again! 
(and if I was on a dirt bike it'd take all of a split second to cross into 'merica and be there if I wanted.) *shrug* I guess the order of desirability of places to live is North > South.. we should probably plant a hedge or something at least.

It just makes the Democrats look like the hypocrites and racists they are. They built the cages and starting putting kids in them but then blamed their opponents when they used those same cages for the same purpose. Now they've purposely create chaos at the border which is leading to death, violence and exploitation of unaccompanied children. A secure border and well managed immigration process is all that is required. Dems and R's can then argue all the want about whether the number of legal immigrants should be 2M or 500M a year or something in between. Until we get their, they are both responsible for this ongoing, senseless tragedy.

I'm curious what the death stats are. Probably similar in the desert, but I mean at the border/detention facilities - which party in power is more humane and which is less?
None the less, the entire system is f*****g garbage. American agribusiness and other industries rely on 12 Million undocumented immigrants to operate. The entire system isn't a failure. it's working as designed. The "right people," are getting rich of the labour of immigrants with little to no rights - exactly what the wealthy of both parties seek or they wouldn't keep perpetuating this same system of nonsense. All of this "crisis at the border," BS is just a smokeshow to point fingers at the other party and play the blame game to get the general voter base all riled up about nothing so they'll keep electing their party of choice to not solve these problems with any sort of meaningful solution & the rich keep getting richer.

..all coming from right wing anti liberal/democrat/democracy news sources.
Meanwhile, I heard on some news clip that migrant crossings at the US' Southern Border were steadily increasing under the trump administration and today's numbers are in line with what they expected, not some huge surge that Biden is responsible for causing via any policy change.
It's all just spin that's spun to sound like you want it to depending on whether you're watching Fox or CNN.

Won't happen; not with the leering ghost of Donald Trump present to serve as an example of that failure.
