The closing of the Lukeville border crossing is a direct result of Biden’s liberal definition of legitimate amnesty, and then Biden using his presidential power to enforce that definition. Trump had a conservative definition for legitimate amnesty, and he also used his presidential power to enforce his definition.
These two diverse approaches show that appealing to Congress to solve the “immigration problem” is ridiculous. Both presidents hired administrators to enforce their policy without waiting on an impotent Congress to do something.
I think the conservative policy by Trump was far superior to the disaster we have now under Biden’s policy. But the purpose of my letter is to point out that blaming Congress is childish, because they will never come to an agreement. So when our Democratic senators and governor complain about the disaster at Lukeville, they just have to tell their President that he should shift back to Trump’s conservative policies to fix the problem.
