"“I want to make it clear … I’m not making new law; I’m eliminating bad policy,” Biden said when he signed several immigration-related executive orders on Feb. 2, 2021, less than a month into his presidency. “What I’m doing is taking on the issues that — 99 percent of them — that the president — the last president of the United States issued executive orders I felt were very counterproductive to our security, counterproductive to who we are as a country, particularly in the area of immigration.”
Reality soon hit home, as the reversal of Trump’s border policy prompted an unrelenting flood of illegal crossings. To date, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has encountered more than 10 million illegal aliens — so many that even the hard-left Democrat mayor of New York warned that the unchecked stream of illegal aliens would “destroy New York City” and affect every part of it."
