I’m not even going to address the first and third points because we simply disagree, but you missed what I was describing about the border.
It isn’t more secure, it is less efficient. They aren’t doing a more thorough check, they are checking exactly the same documents twice, and the first time they aren’t even scanning them to see if they are legitimate. They simply stop you and look at them which creates a bottleneck in the line and creates understaffing at the real checkpoint two minutes further down the walkway.
This understaffing has actually caused them to not have enough people in the checkpoint building to man the x-ray machines, so it is arguably less secure than it was before. If I cross at night now, I no longer even get my bag scanned, which used to be standard procedure during the previous administration.

Biden was known for his open border policies, extremely well documented. Everything I’ve read or seen on the news says illegal entry has slowed drastically under Trump. It’s OK that we disagree on the other stuff.

Your information comes from the news, my information comes from personal experience of crossing the border several times per week and seeing it with my own eyes. Which one of us has the primary source?
