Behind the Poll
The current border crisis is one of the most pressing issues facing the Biden administration. With over 100,000 migrant children in U.S. custody and hundreds more arriving each day, the situation is dire. Critics say that the root cause of the problem is President Biden’s decision to rescind Trump’s hardline immigration policies, which they argue were effective in deterring illegal border crossings. They also point to the fact that many of the children arriving at the border are unaccompanied, which they say is a direct result of Biden’s policies.
Supporters of the administration argue that the border crisis is not new and predates Trump’s presidency. They argue that the root cause is poverty and violence in Central America, and that the only way to solve the problem is to address those underlying issues. They also point out that many of the children arriving at the border are unaccompanied because their parents have been deported or detained, which they say is a direct result of Trump’s policies.
It is clear that there is no easy solution to the current border crisis. However, it is also clear that the situation is dire and something needs to be done. President Biden has proposed a comprehensive immigration reform plan that would address the root causes of the problem, but it remains to be seen if it will be effective. In the meantime, the administration must continue to deal with the immediate crisis at hand.
