Migrants back or not

For many years most Americans (polls show 80%) agree that the immigration system is broken but politicians knew that if they brought up the issue, they would be accused of being uncompassionate or worse being racist so they remained quiet. Obama changed the way they count deportations by including turn arounds at the border. This increased his numbers to the point where he could offset the claim of racism by suggesting the children who were born here should be citizens (DACA). People were still upset with the migrants and Trump came along and capitalized on the issue and got elected. The press who didn’t like Trump considering him racist went after his border stance but the people held firm. On day one when Biden took office, he reversed Trump’s border policies and migrants poured in by the thousands. Defenders said these people were just the poor trying to have a better life but these poor were around long before Biden made the changes. As the number of migrants passed the 200,000 per month mark nothing was said in the press except for Fox news who had a reporter on the border with a drone showing nightly pictures of migrants streaming across. Then in August of 2022 one man stepped up to the plate and everything change. Governor Abbott of Texas started sending migrants to northern cities and the press had to cover the situation. This then led to Trumps elections and the fight has now switched to whether the migrants should be sent back or not.
