> Ignoring the magnitude of the lies makes that comparison an act of self-deception Joe Biden ended Trump-era policies for the express purpose of facilitating the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States. When this drove border crossings up to 4-5X the historical rate, he told Americans that he lacked the power to seal the border, and that we should pass new legislation to empower him to do so. Then they put provisions into said legislation which would have only required the actual enforcement of border laws if/when the rate of illegal immigration exceeded a set level (which was ~5X the historical rate). I can't think of a single case in human history in which a leader had so much contempt for his own people that he created a problem for them, then used their frustration with said problem to garner their support for a proposed "solution" which was clearly designed to exacerbate the problem.
