Just look at net migration, the numbers speak for themselves; Biden & Obama allowed in a lot more people and they deported some of them
What evidence shows that Obama and Biden wanted to actually maximize illegal immigration, as opposed to having different enforcement priorities or failing to control immigration effectively? Noting again that they were ready to pass a bill and sign it into law, but Trump tanked it.
It seems to me if there's a problem, and people want to fix it, but someone says "no", it's that person who wants the problem to persist.
That's the most brainwashed thing I've read all day
Don't trust what the politicians say, look at what they do:
- Illegal migrants under Biden: +7.3 million net illegal migrants
- During Trump's first term? It's -34,000 (yes, that's a negative number)
- How about the tally for Obama's second term? That's +493,000 net illegal migrants
As shown by those numbers, border enforcement does not need special legislation. If the people in power want to curb it, they can do so. If they want to turn on the tap of illegals, they can. And the Democrats did turn up the tap to the max.
Numbers and facts speak for themselves, but you speak a different language
Plus, I never used the word "invasion", you're the only one using it, perhaps you're feeling invaded?

The first characterization of this process as an invasion in this thread was your post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50306566
> your claim is "the numbers look bad for the Democrats, but they never explicitly said they want the country to be invaded with illegals, they just did it"
"Invaded with illegals" is the characterization you chose. Please don't put your words in my mouth. Have a nice day.
Anyway, my larger point was proven by the numbers and still stands. You conceded that Biden's immigration numbers are awful and then came with with some logical contortion that basically said "someone that rapes women without officially declaring he's a rapist, is not really a rapist, because he didn't officially declare it" (if I may use another hyperbole). Someone has to be really brainwashed to believe what you're saying. Border enforcement does not need special legislation, any Administration can just do it if they actually want to.
