Let's do a check shall we.
Are you happy about our new border policy that has new record numbers of entries of un-accompanied minors , many of whom are being held past the 72 hour law that says they may not be held beyond that timeline? You know, the law that Trump was criticized for doing until he came up with a better policy of telling them they had to wait in Mexico while their asylum case was looked at?
Are you happy that due to the record amount of entries and not enough personnel to test every one for Covid and quarantine every one that tests positive and they are being released without quarantine to go where ever they want?
Are you happy with this new "gender neutral" policy that in essence, does not recognize the difference between men and women and where that will lead? Are you happy that biological males that feel like they are girls will be allowed to compete against biological females and what that will mean for girls sports? Are you ready for gender neutral bathrooms in all of America including high school locker rooms and private gyms?
Where you OK with all the pork in the new Covid bill that had nothing to do with Covid like Nancy's tunnel and Schumer's bridge? Millions given to foreign countries to increase their gender studies programs?
Do you think sticking our biggest trade ally Canada with billions in loses on the XL pipeline but saying nothing about the Russia, Germany pipeline is OK?
Do you think ignoring the science and siding with the teachers unions to not fully open schools is a good idea?
How about forgiving farm loans if you are Black but not White? That sound OK to you?
What exactly has Biden done other than replace Trump that makes you "happy"?

Regarding immigration, it will take a while to reverse Trump's draconian immigration policies. Biden has withdrawn Trump's "Muslim ban". He will raise the number of refugees that will be alllowed to enter the country from the ridiculously low number allowed by Trump. He has set up a task force to reunite children who were separated from their parents under Trump. He will offer a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants, a group that was ignored by Trump. I think Biden will show compassion towards immigrants that Trump never showed and there will be bumps along that road which will be resolved.
Regarding gender neutrality. The problem can't be ignored. The NCAA has already ruled on the "problem" and will not allow men to compete against women. The problem is so insignificant compared to real problems in this country. FWIW I do not in anyway support males competing against females in most sports.
There is pork in every spending bill. The overwhelming amount of the $1.9 trillion will go towards COVID related issues. I would prefer the non-COVID money be in another bill but that is how Washington has worked for many decades, if not centuries.
The building of the Keystone XL pipeline has been contested since at least 2014. Trump made no progress in getting it built in his 4 years in office.

Opening schools is a state and local issue. Teachers want to feel safe when in school. Most colleges are still remote learning for the most part. We have a very short time until school is out and by September the pandemic should have much less impact on everyday life than today. Proceed with caution,
Forgiving black farm loans and ignoring white farm loans? Here's an article which supports it.

I've stated more than once why I think Biden in a short 6 or 7 weeks has shown improvement over Trump. The relief package which has many more pluses than minuses. Changes to the Trump immigration policies, some of which are certainly in limbo and need adjustments. Incredible focus on the COVID-19 pandemic and getting the vaccine available to all. Getting back into the Paris Accord. Back to supporting WHO. Restoring fractured relationships with other countries.
