ABC News anchor Martha Raddatz interviewed an illegal alien from brazil who is hoping to get asylum in this country. She asked him why he decided to make the trip to the border and he told her it was because of Joe Biden.
Raddatz then asked him if he would have made the trip if President Trump was still in charge. He replied that he definitely would not. That is all we really need to know to see why suddenly illegals are coming in huge numbers.

“Would you have tried to do this when Donald Trump was president?” Raddatz asked.
“Definitely not. Definitely. We have a chance, you know. The same environment that’s been going on today wasn’t there last year,” the man responded. “We used to watch the news and I definitely wouldn’t do this.”
Raddatz followed up,” So did you come here because Joe Biden was elected president?”
Basically, basically,” the man said. “The main thing was the violence in my country. And the second thing, I think, was Joe Biden.”
There is a reason why the borders were operating so smoothly when Trump was directing the country and is now a total disaster two months into his administration. He is considered an easy mark for illegal aliens. You could mug the man by first class mail. But with Trump, they knew he would stand strong and does not give up just because people in the press said nasty things about him.
The other reason the Trump plan worked better is because Trump had a plan and all Biden has is ideology. Trump not only shored up our border but he convinced the leaders of some key countries that did away with the daily caravan heading towards the United States.
Biden campaigned on promises to reverse many of Trump’s deterrent immigration policies. After Biden won the election, migrants said they expected the Biden administration to “honor its commitments.”
Thus far, Biden has made good on his promises. For example, Biden repealed Trump’s “remain in Mexico” policy that forced asylum-seekers to remain in Mexico while their asylum requests are processed by U.S. immigration courts.
Now, because migrant processing infrastructure is being overwhelmed by asylum-seekers, some migrants are reportedly being released from custody without necessary court information.
