President Biden was dumped for no reason

92. This is just not true.

Biden did many good things during his presidency, but he failed to act at the border until the last few months he was president. This was a huge mistake. There were lots of people, dems and repubs alike, who were frustrated by that. Border states were greatly impacted, obviously, and then when Abbott began bussing migrants to blue democratic cities in democratic states, and overwhelming support systems and taxpayer resources, many other groups (lower income citizens, for example, who wanted to know why they weren't getting resources) were very frustrated to see migrants put up in hotel rooms, or migrants getting all these things when homeless US citizens or veterans were out on the street.

And yes, I fully understand that most of these people are hypocrites who would have turned their backs on a homeless vet in an instant and just wanted a reason to be angry, but the optics were not good. Marginalized groups had reason to be frustrated so much taxpayer resources were being spent while their communities were being ignored and they were directing it at Abbott (who no one likes, including me), but truly, the problem should not have been solely for the border states to deal with either. Immigration is a national issue, not a Texas issue, not a Delaware issue. If the US could not handle that inflow of migrants per year (which we clearly couldn't) then harsher measures should have been taken to shut down the border, which Biden failed to do until it was clear it would likely cause us the White House in summer 2024, which it ultimately did.
