The first clause in the resolution states that "President Biden tasked Vice President Kamala Harris with working to address illegal immigration into the United States, including "Root causes", and came to be known colloquially as the Biden administration's 'border czar'".
The New Yorker goes to great pains to claim: "Border Patrol is on pace to arrest fewer than sixty thousand migrants in July, which would be the lowest number of monthly apprehensions since September, 2020".
While the Border Patrol apprehension total remains relevant, cities like New York, Chicago, Boston, and others haven't been dealing with migrant crises of their own simply because of a spike in the number of migrants that Border Patrol has apprehended or even in the number encountered at the ports.
In FY 2023 alone, according to DHS statistics, Border Patrol agents released more than 909,000 illegal entrants they had apprehended at the Southwest border, while CBP officers at the ports there paroled more than 370,000 more - nearly 1.3 million new illegal arrivals cut loose into the country, free to head to New York or elsewhere.
The New Yorker also takes issue with two other clauses in the resolution, which state that VP Harris has never spoken to current Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens, and that neither the VP nor President Biden ever spoke to Owens' predecessor, Raul Ortiz.
Second, who exactly in the White House would have been in charge of the border if not Harris or Biden? Put differently, why would the "Biden-Harris Administration Announce[] New Border Enforcement Actions" in January 2023 if neither Biden nor Harris were involved in border enforcement?
It's no surprise that the New Yorker would provide cover for the border ineptitude of the Biden-Harris administration to support the presumptive Democratic candidate.
