I had one person oppose us politely, saying "You're on the wrong side of history." and "Biden let in illegals who raped people." There was no time for a real discussion, but I'm glad he felt safe to express his opinion. Everybody should get the chance to speak, that's how democracy works.

Experts have attributed the increase in attempted crossings to pent-up demand, changes in global migration patterns, a change of perceptions by migrants about the ease of crossing, and incentives for migrants to try to cross again after Title 42 expulsions. The number of migrants sent back increased as a result, though the percentage sent back decreased. Border apprehensions fell back to 2020 levels in mid-2024.
