How is the border less secure than it was 4 years ago?

Birm's fav question. I'll give you a couple of reasons.

In Biden’s first 100 days in office, he took more than 94 executive actions on immigration. Those actions included:
1. Stopping the construction of the border wall.
2. Attempting to halt deportations for 100 days.
3. Suspending new enrollments in Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP, aka “Remain in Mexico”).
4. Terminating Asylum Cooperative Agreements (ACAs) with Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.
5. Ending Prompt Asylum Case Review (PACR) for non-Mexicans, and Humanitarian Asylum Review Program (HARP), for Mexicans. Now he’s going even further.

And then.....
1. Biden’s new FY2023 budget proposes cutting border security funding.
2. He’s ended Title 42.
3. He’s ended “Remain in Mexico”.
4. He’s giving USCIS officials the authority to grant asylum to migrants who cross the border without an immigration court/judge reviewing that claim.
5. He’s undermining immigration enforcement (ICE) in America with a flurry of bad policies, including:
a. Rolling back the scope of DHS’s expedited removal authority.
b. Limiting ICE’s immigration enforcement activities.

And covering his actions (lying to the public). The Biden administration released FY2021 ICE enforcement data after months of delaying the annual, public-facing report.
* The report revealed the lowest number of removals and arrests in the history of ICE, while still omitting standard data that is generally included this annual report. One ICE officer called the arrest and removal numbers “an acknowledgment that ICE officials are being paid not to do their job.”

Under Biden, ICE:
1. Arrested 48% fewer convicted criminals
2. Deported 63% fewer criminals
3. Issued 46% fewer ‘detainer requests to other’ law enforcement agencies” in FY 2021 compared to FY 2020.
4. On deportations, ERO recorded “just 39,149 convicts removed in 2021 — down 62% compared to 2020, when 103,762 convicts were ousted, and far below the pre-COVID rate of 2019, when 150,141 convicts were removed.”

The real numbers.
1. Deportations have dropped by 70 percent since the pandemic.
2. ICE agents are averaging fewer than one arrest per month.

Just admit that your daddy has an open border, and move on to a topic that you are right about "liberals hate America".
