This is where he either severely restricted or repealed nearly all policies put in place by his Republican predecessors. <\/p>\n<p>The entire trip had all the characteristics of a politician who wants to make a show while trying to avoid accountability. Biden\u2019s meant to present himself as an assertive commander-in-chief who takes the border seriously with his brief appearance, but in reality, it was a pretend performance all along. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/01\/08\/politics\/joe-biden-border\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">According<\/a> CNN described the presidential visit as &#8220;a wonderful experience.&#8221; \u201ctightly controlled visit,\u201d Biden is the headline of its coverage \u201cresponded to a few questions from reporters, saying that the government would provide every resource at the border.\u201d The network did not extrapolate from what was asked and reported that Biden met workers at a detention center for migrants. The small selection of reporters who traveled with the president generated no news from the visit beyond photos and facts about the president\u2019s general whereabouts. <\/p>\n<p>Fox News reported that the president was able to polish the areas he visited before arriving.

Biden&#8217;s critics have repeatedly criticized his inability to visit the border. Meanwhile, overwhelmed law enforcement fails to stop the surge of migration. <\/p>\n<p>CBP reported approximately 3.5 million in October <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/10\/22\/migrants-southern-border-records\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2.3 Million<\/a> The CBP set a new 12-month record for migrant encounters in 2022 fiscal year.
