TL;DR Summary

President Biden, who campaigned on reversing Trump's immigration policies, has faced challenges as a surge of migration has forced him to embrace or tolerate some of his predecessor's approaches. This includes seeking to waive environmental regulations to allow the construction of additional miles of border wall in Texas, a move that has angered human rights groups and contradicted his previous stance. Biden's handling of immigration has become a potential liability, with polls showing dissatisfaction among voters. Despite implementing more welcoming policies, such as providing legal options for migrants from certain countries, Biden has also adopted tougher measures and called for increased border enforcement. The issue has caused divisions within his own party and strained relationships with Democratic governors and mayors.
