...when DJT took over...before he had the COVID-19 induced "Title 42" ability to refuse entries...our system was not up to the challenge of immigrant surges, as noted in this excerpt from the PEW Research article...
---------------
ICE, which handles the majority of deportations, said in its most recent year-end report that its removal operations have encountered several challenges, including a growing backlog of cases in the immigration courts and “judicial and legislative constraints” that make it difficult to deport minors and family members.
--------------
i.e. the very same issues facing the Biden administration "Judicial and legislative constraints"...which, btw, the bipartisan Senate Bill addressed. There is no Silver Bullet to fix our Border...it takes LEGISLATION...and the GOP...under Trump's direction, is perpetuating the problem for political gain...and allowing dangerous persons to remain in the country. ..does this make sense?...of course not.

that's the headline from "AZCentral"...here are some comments from the linked article...

Border Patrol will need sustained resources
What we do know already is that massive migration isn’t something anyone can solve by pushing a magic button.
Gone are the days when most migrants the Border Patrol encountered were single men from Mexico or central America looking for work.
In Arizona’s Tucson sector alone, nearly 72,000 families were arrested from Oct. 1 to Dec. 9 — roughly nine times as many as the same period the year before. They are coming from all over the world, from countries like Senegal, Guinea and India, and they are seeking asylum.
Yet the White House won’t get the extra 1,300 border patrol agents it wanted to join the 20,205 funded in the current budget — not to mention the 1,600 additional asylum officers, money for additional detention beds, and 1,470 lawyers and support staff included in the failed border deal.
The legislation also included an array of other funding required to carry out border security and mass deportations.
Border Patrol is not set up to interview and detain thousands of families.
---------------
Once again, just a DJT said back in 2019...we need Congressional action to provide funding for Border Security and Processing over the long term...an EO won't do it. Trump knows this and that's why he's instructing Michael Johnson, and other GOP "lawmakers" NOT to act.

As the saying goes, numbers don't lie.
I look forward to the links explaining this all away.
Yes, let's get real.
EDIT: typo
That headline (with my accentuation) was from a 2019 White House Press Release...i.e. HE COULDN'T JUST FIX THE BORDER HIMSELF....it takes CONGRESSIONAL ACTION...yet, Lo and Behold, he's refusing to allow his GOP to do what needs to be done...how do you spin that bizarre move?

Somehow border incidents reached a 47 year low during the Trump presidency. Regardless of what Congress did.
Nobody is buying this narrative of blame shifting.

Biden opened the floodgates to illegally acquire millions of lib voters. Texas is forever changed. Now he's pretending he's a guardian at the gate. He's blaming the Republicans for
allowing illegal immigration to flourish. That's another hideous lie.

to finally secure the border and create the lawful and safe immigration system Americans, and those wanting to become Americans, deserve".
I don't need to spin anything...just repeat what he said himself...i.e. Congress needs to act...same thing Biden is saying...because that's the ONLY WAY this issue can be brought under control...yet your boy...for obvious political reasons...won't let that happen.

In point of fact, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, as well as several GOP governors...are emphatic in their call for MORE immigrants, so JB is 100% correct in making his invitation...BUT, it can't work without Increases in Border Security...Processing Personnel...Facilities...and Policy Changes",/b>...and that's what the Senate Bill has in it...Just What We Need...
And Trump is standing in the way...even thought HIS OWN administration called for the same solution back in 2018 (there's documentation on that).
And exactly WHY do we need more resources, as you put it? Because your hero Biden told everyone to come to the southern border and we'll let you in. Convenient for you to ignore that.
Look at the PEW Research paper and chart in my OP, Mark...whole families are being uprooted due to chaos in their home countries...we can take millions of them over the next few years, so long as we.have the resources to process them and ensure that only those who qualify under our laws are allowed entry...and that's what the bipartisan bill would do...
As Trump, himself, said in 2019...the only way to solve the problem is through Congressional action...
Maybe we can find a way to sneek it through unconstitutionally... again.

Why we need immigration
Immigration fuels the economy. When immigrants enter the labor force, they increase the productive capacity of the economy and raise GDP. Their incomes rise, but so do those of natives. It’s a phenomenon dubbed the “immigration surplus,” and while a small share of additional GDP accrues to natives — typically 0.2 to 0.4 percent — it still amounts to $36 to $72 billion per year.
In addition to the immigration surplus, immigrants grease the wheels of the labor market by flowing into industries and areas where there is a relative need for workers — where bottlenecks or shortages might otherwise damp growth.

Put your Big Boy pants on and see what needs to be done...then act accordingly.
