Biden's migrant invasion leads to border closings
Wall Street Journal:
U.S. Closes Several Southwest Border Bridges to Contain Migrant Surge
I blame Biden and the Democrats who are trying to invite illegals in who might someday vote for them.

Pollsters asked voters whether they support or oppose “making it a state crime for an undocumented immigrant to be in Texas in most circumstances.” The results showed support for this idea sitting at 56% — with 39% saying they strongly support it and 17% of respondents saying they somewhat support it. Opposition to this particular query registered at 33% among the voters (14% somewhat oppose, 19% strongly oppose). At least 11% said they did not know enough about this or had no opinion.
When the findings are broken down along party lines, though, the poll found 84% of Republican voters said they supported this proposal, while only 27% of Democratic respondents said they did. Opposition was higher among Democrats — with 59% saying they did not support it.

The story does not indicate why Democrats border control, but I suspect it is because they think the illegals will eventually become Democrats.

The Biden administration is risking American lives with two failing policies. One has left the southern border open. The other has failed to deter attacks by Iranian proxies on our troops in the Middle East.
The two may seem largely separate, but they share one common danger: both involve deadly threats from Islamic extremists. Terrorists like those who fire at American servicemen in the Middle East and ships in the Red Sea can also sneak across our porous borders to attack Americans at home. They aim to kill.
The failure on the southern border is obvious. The Biden administration methodically dismantled Trump-era policies that limited illegal migration. Those included requirements to remain in Mexico while applying for asylum, building a barrier wall, and convincing the Mexican government to station troops near the border to prevent transit.
The new policies have encouraged a flood of illegal migrants from around the world. US Customs and Border Patrol has officially counted 6.9 illegal border crossings during the administration’s first three years. Among them, the gravest danger comes from the 1.5 million “gotaways,” who were detected but never caught. They must have strong reasons to evade Border Control. Of course, we still don’t know how many were never detected at all.
This influx has affected the country in two palpable ways: deadly drugs brought in by Mexican cartels and crushing financial burdens imposed on state and local governments. The latest evidence of those burdens comes from Arizona, where Governor Katie Hobbs presented fellow Democrats in Washington with a bill for over half-a-billion dollars, the cost of services her state has provided for illegal migrants so far.
...
The idiocy of the Biden open borders policy is difficult to defend. The costs to state and local governments are enormous.
