      “Biden, who has clamped down on unauthorized border crossings, steered clear of mentioning the victims’ status in the country, instead focusing on their contribution to their community.”

      I think my definition of “clamped down” is different than that of USA Today’s. Even noted lefty “fact checking” web site http://www.snopes.com admits that Biden has allowed in six times as many illegal immigrants as Trump did.

      Talk about putting lipstick on a pig.

      “The Biden administration has struggled to draw attention to its significant immigration successes, instead contending with the ever-present pressures at the border. Changing the national narrative may be its most difficult challenge to confront.”

      Reading bios for the Board of Trustees, there is good reason to think a little bias might be in play.

      Both Biden and Trump hurt the country as President. Biden for immigration, job creation and inflation; Trump for voting rights, abortion and climate change:

      Climate change – true; and I am grateful.  If you’re saying he had an adverse effect on abortion, I need some clarification about how.  His judicial apointments?  Seriously?  Do you really think Roe v Wade was a clean ruling?  You really think returning the decision to the voters and taking it away from unelected lawyers is wrong?  And I really have no idea how Trump impaired voting rights inappropriately.

      I’m not even a huge fan of Trump.  I still support DeSantis (sigh).  But the damage done by Biden that you list is accurate; albeit only a partial list.

      The governor of Texas stated (understandably) that northern cities to which Texas had been transporting undocumented immigrants were having difficulty with an influx less than 5% of what Texas had faced.

      The WSJ has an article on what happens when there is a significant influx of undocumented immigrants to suburbs and small towns. Even Utah, where the LDS has historically welcomed illegal aliens, has distributed an alert stating that there’s no shelter available and food banks are at capacity, and undocumented individuals should “consider another state to settle.” Herriman is a suburb of Salt Lake City, population about 60k. Foreign born population has increased ninefold to 5,300.
