Border crossings

Looking back many agree that Biden/Harris loss was caused by the immigration policy. During Obama’s two terms the migrant population grew by 1.7 million and in Trump’s first term the population declined by 1.5 million. Under Biden there was a net increase of 8.5 million migrants not counting got a ways and including 425,000 with criminal convictions and 222,000 with pending criminal charges. During Biden’s first year, Fox News had a reporter on the southern border using a drone to film large caravans of migrants crossing into the country but the rest of the news media ignored the problem. Then in the spring of 2022 the governor of Texas began to send migrants to cities in the north and the press then started covering the border. At first the northern cities welcomed these migrants but in time they changed their view. As the migrants caused a shortage in apartments, overloading schools and medical facilities the locals started to question the sanctuary city policy. New York City had a change of heart. Mayor Eric Adams' stance evolved significantly from initially welcoming asylum-seekers to taking a much stricter approach, particularly focusing on deporting migrants accused of crimes and working with the federal government.
