The outlet says that despite the administration\u2019s rhetoric, however, very little concrete action has been taken.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn its apparent desperation to fashion an immigration strategy that will impose order on increasingly out-of-control migration, the Biden administration has unleashed a torrent of words and goals untethered to specific policies and timetables,\u201d begins the Post piece, written by the Post\u2019s editorial board. \u201cTo date, on immigration, officials have effectively reversed and rolled back some of the Trump administration\u2019s most pernicious policies, but without a clear road map to address the immediate crisis \u2014 a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/illegal-border-crossings-near-two-decade-high-mayorkas-says-11615910892\">decades-high surge<\/a>&nbsp;in illegal border-crossing \u2014 or the long-term challenge driving migration: dysfunction, disorder and decay in Central America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In July, Harris laid out a five point plan to address \u201cthe root causes of migration from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras\u201d that focused on combating economic insecurity, corruption, crime, human rights violations, and other widespread and systemic issues in those countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s fine as far as it goes,\u201d the Post said. \u201cIt\u2019s also a list that anyone with a passing knowledge of the region could have compiled. What is mostly missing from the sweeping rhetoric and broad-strokes analysis is an actual plan for action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMs. Harris and administration officials have also described short-term steps designed to get a handle on deterring the current tsunami of migrants and asylum seekers at the border,\u201d the outlet continued. \u201cBut the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/03\/26\/981190646\/rejected-by-1-mexican-port-of-entry-migrants-are-flown-by-u-s-to-another\">convoluted messaging<\/a>&nbsp;\u2014 telling migrants not to seek entry to the United States while at the same time relaxing or scrapping an array of measures that would actually dissuade them, and providing relief to migrants on both sides of the border \u2014 has been a failure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Post notes that not only is the Biden administration\u2019s approach to the border resulting in record numbers of illegal immigration, but that the administration\u2019s failure is also \u201cpolitically toxic.\u201d Border officials arrested a monthly total record of 190,000 illegal immigrants in June. As of mid-July, border agents had arrested 1.1 million illegal immigrants in the current fiscal year that began in October, months before Biden took office and immigration spiked.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration has \u201cdriven a policy whose incoherence has yielded pressure at the border that may cost the Democrats control of one or both houses of Congress in next year\u2019s midterm elections. So far, there is nothing in the administration\u2019s short- or long-term strategizing that is likely to shift that dynamic,\u201d the Post says.<\/p>\n<p>As the Biden administration has failed for months to contain the flood of illegal immigrants, some governors of border states have stepped in to try and stem the tide. GOP Governors Greg Abbott of Texas and Doug Ducey of Arizona <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/arizona-texas-blast-bidens-border-security-request-back-up-from-other-states-amid-crisis\">requested<\/a> in June assistance from other governors in policing the border.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecuring our border with Mexico is the federal government\u2019s responsibility. But the Biden administration has proven unwilling or unable to do the job,\u201d the governors wrote, ripping into the Biden administration. \u201cThis failure to enforce federal immigration laws causes banns that spill over into&nbsp;<em>every State<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
