If Obama could secure the border, why can't Biden? The tools available to each are roughly the same - the difference is that Obama wanted to deter illegal entries; Biden doesn't.
Plainly, Obama was doing something to control the border that Biden isn't.
Obama and Trump both utilized border infrastructure - roads, sensors, fencing, lights, and cameras, collectively known as the "Border wall system" - in a way Biden won't.
That said, Obama was also operating under a huge impediment to detention that Biden doesn't face: erroneous Board of Immigration Appeals and Ninth Circuit orders that misread the border detention provisions of the INA) and ordered immigration judges to give aliens encountered at the Southwest border bond hearings for release.
Joe Biden has the same immigration powers and authorities that Barack Obama had, but unlike his old boss, Biden refuses to use them.
Which is why the border was much more secure under Obama than it is under Biden.
I have the receipts - courtesy of Biden's DOJ - to show that President Obama secured the border, and that President Biden won't.
