Border

President Biden asked VP Harris to investigate the root causes of the problems at the border. The main conclusion was that the dangerous life in the Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala was causing people to flee to the United States. This is questionable since migrants are coming from 149 countries. Her short term plan was to hire thousands more border agents and crack down on fentanyl and human trafficking and her long term policy was to send billions to these countries to try and help the government to control the criminals. The result was a continuation of the record numbers of immigrant crossing along with record amounts of fentanyl. Migrant crossings under Biden went from 50,000 per month to 250,000 under Biden. If they had just left the Trump policies alone the problem would not have worsened like it did. The new Harris may give the old Trump policies a new look starting with the wall.
