#2 could not be funded under Trump even with a Republican Congress. But there might be more support for it today than when Trump was in office. It is still debatable as to how effective a border wall will be in stopping illegal immigration...

...#3 would require manpower increases of a huge magnitude. The main problem with Biden's asylum policies is that there are not close to enough judges to assess the validity of the claims for asylum. People are let into the country and given a court date possible years in the future to return and get a decision on their asylum requests...

....#4 -- Okay, we tell those people coming to our borders in the thousands to "remain in Mexico" while their asylum requests are processed. Where do these people live while they await for the asylum requests to be processed? As pointed out in #3, these asylum requests could take years to be processed unless, once again, a huge number of judges are hired and sent to the border to work. It is so easy to say "That's their problem"...

....#5 -- Yes, the number of illegals entering this country has certainly increased exponentially under Biden but deportations have also increased...

During the course of the 24 months of the 2019 and 2020 fiscal years, the DHS documented 1.4 million arrests under Trump. On the other hand, in less than 26 months, the Biden administration's DHS has made over 5 million arrests. Furthermore, the Biden administration has deported the majority of individuals apprehended, but the Trump administration deported a minority of them. Specifically, the Biden government is deporting people at a rate that is 3.5 times higher each month than it was under Trump."

(See item #4 above) As far as deportations go (as stated) total BS.
