No president has ever had a lower approval rating for their handling of immigration as an issue than President Joe Biden does today.
A record low 18% of respondents told ABC News they approved of Biden’s immigration policies, compared to 63% who disapprove. According to ABC News, this is the lowest approval any president has ever received on the issue of immigration.
For comparison’s sake, Biden’s overall approval rating is almost double his immigration approval at 33%, while Biden’s approval on the economy is just 31%.
Despite the historic lows in approval for his immigration policies, Biden still refuses to admit there is a crisis on the southern border. Asked by reporters on Saturday if he would call the situation on the southern border a “crisis,” Biden said, “No.”
Since being sworn in as president, Biden has caught and released more than 3 million illegal immigrants into the United States. Countless more have snuck in while overwhelmed Border Patrol agents were forced to process captured immigrants into the country.
The flood of migrants to the southern border from around the world began immediately after Biden became president. On his first day in office, Biden ended the popular “Remain in Mexico” program, which had successfully denied migrants access into the United States. He also instituted a moratorium on all deportations in the United States and has since made it official Biden policy not to deport any migrant whose only crime is illegally crossing the southern border.

As a direct result of these policy changes, migrants around the world now know that if they can just get to the southern border, cross it illegally, and then surrender to Border Patrol, Biden will let them into the United States. They also know that as long as they don’t get caught committing any violent felony, Biden will let them stay forever. This is why millions have already come, and millions more are coming.
Biden does not need more money from Congress to fix the crisis he created. He just needs to rescind his cancellation of the “Remain in Mexico” program and stop letting migrants into the country after they have been caught crossing the border illegally.
