Joe Biden and his minions are entirely responsible for the record breaking illegal immigration since he’s been in office. Ask the Border Czar, she knows. What a joke.

Actually, during his 2016 campaign, Biden lashed out about any notion of a closed border, which gave foreigners a belief that the border was open to immigration. While it is to a certain extent, he really implied it was open to all.  This was clearly a miscalculation on his behalf and has not been addressed, and may have worsened by placing Kamala in a key role to resolve the border issues.  

I think the good thing about some of us is that we're willing and able to recognize mistakes of our administration, whereas, many people cannot clearly see mistakes of the politician that they voted for or support.

If we hope to ever bring this country back from its political polarization, this is what we all must do. Unfortunately, most either attempt to equivocate with talking points or, more commonly, stay away from the conversation altogether because they don’t want to admit fault with their party’s position. 
 
I’m guilty of this myself, however, I have leveled criticisms at Republicans as well. We all need to step up and start holding politicians and policy makers accountable because the divisiveness of strict party lines is what empowers them.
