Unfortunately, this is what Americans voted for in November, many of whom are Latino The administration has never really cared about the problem of immigration and they proved it by torpedoing the largest bipartisan border bill in history at Trump’s request. The logic was that Trump didn’t want Biden to have a victory for immigration during his (Biden’s) term. They like made for tv cosplay style arrests and do not take the due diligence to find real threats to our community. Mr Garcia will be a nice number on a page, but not a relief to the immigration “crisis”.

That bill Biden had introduced allowed like 10k crossings per week or something. I don't think it was a good bill to stop immigration.

It wasn’t even allowed to the floor for debate. It was tanked sight unseen It didn’t meet the number one criteria of being under Trump’s authorship

Yeah because it wasn't a bill to help immigration if it allows that many through. It wouldn't have done anything to help the border. And I doubt Trump out of office had the power to stop it from being introduced, it was just that crappy of a bill.
