Has the Biden-Harris strategy of “stopping migration to the southern border” been successful?
In 2020, before Biden and Harris took office, Encounter with the Border Patrol 400,651 people attempted to cross the southwest border illegally; According to Data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Harris spoke in Arizona last month. Spoke Securing the Border: “We know our immigration system is broken, and we know what it takes to fix it: strong border security and comprehensive reform that includes a path to citizenship.”
It is reasonable to believe that President Harris will seek to open a “path to citizenship” for illegal immigrants.

Given her record in the Biden administration, this is not the case.
