I'm so pissed at President Trump for using Covid-19 as a lame excuse to close the border and deport twice as many refugees as he did last year! How racist! And then the media is pretending the camps are emptying out because people got help! Oh, wait! That was Biden!
According to the article President Biden asked Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to crack down on deportations. He said, himself, earlier this year when Republicans were pretending to be pro-refugee, that they were being deported.
He's also continued building Trump's wall, even going so far as taking people to court to confiscate their land through eminent domain, to build sections of wall, despite promising "Not one more foot of wall will be built during my administration".
The vast majority of the refugees are coming from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras and are trying to escape terrible poverty and crime that has resulted from the US propping up dictators in those countries in order to get cheaper prices on their resources for US corporations. According to international law, they are legally entitled to apply for asylum. Our government pretends they are ordinary immigrants to avoid its responsibilities.
