Joe Biden inherited what his first Border Patrol chief, Rodney Scott, described in a September 2021 letter to Senate leadership as "Arguably the most effective border security in" U.S. history.
Scott complained that Biden quickly allowed things at the border to "Disintegrate" as "Inexperienced political appointees" ignored "Common sense border security recommendations from experienced career professionals".
The former chief did not go into detail about what those "Recommendations" entailed, but Biden quickly ended most of the successful border policies that his predecessor had put into place to bring control to the border.
Keep in mind that a month before taking office, Biden had promised to reverse those Trump policies but averred that he would do so "At a slower pace than he initially promised, to avoid winding up with '2 million people on our border'" and only after erecting "Guardrails" to prevent a border surge.
Border Patrol agents have been facing a human tsunami at the Southwest border since Biden took office, setting new yearly records for apprehensions there in FY 2021, and again in FY 2022, as apprehensions soared past 2.2 million.
Even then Biden attempted to end Title 42 on May 23, despite DHS warnings that up to 18,000 aliens would cross the Southwest border illegally per day once Title 42 ended, up from an already unsustainable average of just over 6,045 per day in FY 2022.
As noted, the White House is also asking Congress to give ICE $2 billon for "Transportation, removal, detention, and Alternatives to Detention" to deal with the disaster Biden has created at the Southwest border.
