If You Think Biden and Harris Were Weak on the Border, Think Again | NYT Opinion

- Immigration is a top issue on voters’ minds. When people talk about President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s handling of immigration, they usually say something like: Record numbers of migrants poured across the border over the past three years, and Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris ignored the crisis until recently. They were weak on the border. Or worse, inept.
I wanted to know how the president and vice president could mess this up so badly. What in the world were they doing?
The Opinion video above tells the little-known story of how Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris worked behind the scenes to get the border crisis under control. I found that they acted strategically, out of the spotlight, since the earliest days of the administration. They even bucked their own party and fulfilled Republican wishes, though they’ve gotten little credit for it.
Their hard work finally paid off when illegal crossings dropped significantly this year.
In politics, there’s the story that gets told in public, and then there’s what really happened behind closed doors. In this case, those two narratives are worlds apart. And Ms. Harris is paying for it. When polled, a majority of voters said they believed Donald Trump would handle immigration better than Ms. Harris.
If voters knew how Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris actually handled the border crisis, they’d most likely have a different opinion of which candidate could be trusted on this cornerstone issue.

Whether it's reporting on conflicts abroad and political divisions at home, or covering the latest style trends and scientific developments, New York Times video journalists provide a revealing and unforgettable view of the world. It's all the news that's fit to watch.
this should've been posted a month ago, not 3 days before the election....
harddd agree
If this was true, with the fact that Harris campaign have never advertised what her administration was doing for years, tell you either they’re incompetent, or he is lying.
@@05350 he's lying on reputable news source where he would lose all credibility if ever found out? pls get out of ur echo chamber the world out here is larger than you think
I agree. Where has the New York Times been during the last four years of the GOP's fake outrage that Biden and Harris were not doing enough at the border? This is irresponsible reporting, and why people are turning away from mainstream media. Harris was not the "border czar"; she was tasked to investigate the root causes of migration. As usual, Democrats are bad at messaging, while the GOP just pumps out disinformation. You had a responsibility, New York Times and you failed.
because it is lies and it would have been fact checked as false because the real numbers of illegal crossings have hit record highs under Biden and Harris they are just getting desperate now to save Harris
the failure of the media to educate people is insane. This should have been posted months ago with follow up after follow up .
theres no neutral media in the US. and thats the problem. there are publicly funded TV stations here in germany wich are essentialy legaly obliged to be neutral.
Yes, it's insane the amount of information on different things came out so close to the election, instead of weeks or months ahead.
Its also a failure on the Harris campaign that they just ignored all of this. If Harris talks about this when asked about immigration, especially during the presidential debate, the media would talk about this too. Instead, all Harris talked about regarding immigration was that Trump blocked a bipartisan immigration bill, almost nothing of any of these accomplishments nor the lowered immigration caused by these policies.
The media doesn't have an obligation to educate people. People have the obligation to educate themselves. Don't point fingers at others because you're too lazy to do the work yourself.
@@valour549 That's ridiculous. The media should at the very least be required to tell the truth and not spread lies. People who want to educate themselves will invariably use the media as their information source. Where do you expect them to get it? A right winger is not going to watch a liberal you tuber. They will always, ALWAYS use a Conservative talking head as their information source. Unfortunately, those are nothing more than a cog in the Republican Propaganda machine and are allowed to lie with impunity and no checks and balances.
And Trump will take credit for all of it
You know he will. Just like Obama's economy
Of course he will
Yeah trump will A hole dump trump is
So document and broadcast it now to refer back to when the republicans morph and tout it as their success..
Trump gifted the most secure border we had, and it was reversed and destroyed on day one by Biden, then they blamed trump for the consequences of reversing his policies that were working.
When people say “do your own research”, they really meant to do what this guy did.
It seems that you fall for cheap propaganda. Actually the way that latins enter America remains the same, they pay thousands of dollars to group of individuals, they pass them to US where they ask for political asylum. Trump proved better stability during his administration while Biden+Kamala=social, political and economic disaster. This is just a fact. Just check the current pulse of the world a bit and compare ;) I'm so happy that people voted right. ❤
Just remember, you cannot believe everything no matter how legit it looks. Trump 2024.
when people say "grasping at straws" this is what they actually mean. remember last week when enforcing border regulation was "literally genocide" according to leftists ?
😂 if people do the basic research that would be great progress, research like that requires a level of understanding and knowledge is simply not capable of
@@antygona-iq8ew dawg did you have a stroke?
Honestly, this type of journalism is what is missing in our country. It's not a click. It's not a short. It's an in-depth lesson and requires more than 20 seconds of your attention. America is truly on it's way to click-click-boom reactionaries! :(

Im a conservative guy. And i gotta say, this video is very interesting. I agree with everyone here, that this should have been released earlier. But it should also be known actually good journalists like this guy are few and far between and take a long time to make sure their works are correct and whatnot.
It's because leftiest had nothing substantial to say.
@ThBlueSalamander don't think you read anything I had to say but sure.
The Media is so bad in the US. Why they didnt cover this sooner?
They have staff who knew about it but ratings which directly influence how much money they can charge for adverting time slots was/is more important.
Most of US media is corporate, once you understand that & see that same 3 mega investment companies own a majority of shares of FOX, MSNBC, CNN, ABC & CBS the failure to inform their audiences makes sense.
The media is controlled by the republican and democratic top 2% of donors! Not politicians, as most believe.
propaganda
Simple: Media Manipulation.
It was not the media, the white house and press secretary could have put this out there and explained it every day. I recall when trump was in, the White House RUclips channel was hot every day showing the people all he was doing, and the comments were open, flooded and vibrant with discussion and discourse from both sides.
When biden came in, the white house channel was dud... hardly ANY views compared to before, and worse yet, ALL COMMENTS WERE DISABLED.
Sad, they are the party of no free speech, how dare you disagree with them, and shut your mouth and go away attitude.
NY Times - Too little. Too late.
Not too late.
Yep, it was.
NY times hid or sane-washed all the vile s*** that came out of Trump’s mouth. They can’t convince me they are bi-partisan. I have zero respect for them.
NY Times.. probably a fabricated BS story. Trumps policies were working, the border was secure, the border control loved agreed with and endorsed his policies and him, and Biden reversed and destroyed all of that on his FIRST DAY in office! Can anyone connect the dots? Then when the border crisis happened BECAUSE OF HIM, he tries to blame Trump for it?
@@michelekett8450 I'd say the opposite. It was enough, covered and explained the topic very well, but released so close to the election that I didn't see it until 3 days after the election. And even if I had seen it the day it came out, I had already voted by then.
The Democrats lost because they didn't promote their victories and tried to be fair and didn't exploit the lies/fact check the opposition
Agreed, but it's harder for them by default because people are less prone to believe them. Gas prices have been at their lowest since post pandemic. Inflation went down faster under Joe Biden than in other G7 nations and the overt effects of economic policy happen very gradually, which means conservatives don't have to see the impacts of Trump's bad economic policies, they can just wait for democrats to take office and blame them.
As always . Democrats are their on worse enemy.
@lindseyjohnstone7135 fact checking was attempted, but between the emotional volatility, avoidance of opposition, and amount of lies from many of those highest up in conservative politics, it was incredibly difficult to do so.
Exactly! Maybe being humble isn't always a good thing.
@@Silvia.Sparks you have no evidence or examples
We needed this months ago…but better late than never. Thank you for shining a light on truth.

I am a subscriber of the NYT. Why didn’t you put this out earlier. I continue to feel let down by NYT. Vote Harris Walz
I feel the same way! Why wasn’t this information put out months ago.
As a Democrat myself I can honestly say that Democrats are not good at strategy and organization. WE need to try harder and better next time. 😢
@@starrcarterfinance I believed that they were still in the final stages in compiling, production and editing.. They could have just started it months ago, and even when Election Day's getting close (after which they are not allowed to vote again from that point after), they just didn't rush. They don't rush.
But i do believe that given the amount of sentiments and polarization they are facing, that would never matter to some anymore... They cannot change the people after they have voted long before this has been released.
@@Peopleareweird20 ik.
In other words Biden and Harris did the work and Trump is going to take credit 😖😤
There's a lot of problem awaiting for trump, the world is not balance that is why they aloud him to win the election, let see what is going to do because he has make allot of noise
As always
Exactly
100% Facts!!!!
Lol no... An unprecedented millions of illegal immigrants are in the country because of their leadership , they refused to deport the vast majority & only started to slowly tamp down on border crossings at the end because of the political blow back during the election year.
The Times should have had this and many other issues on their front page. Democrats are terrible at messaging not governing. Vote blue
Brilliant investigative journalism revealing common-sense solution to immigration. Even if NYT is talking about this late in the campaign, Dems shld be able to blow their own trumpet. Better late than never though. Pls share as much as u can!!!!
The New York Times /= Democrats
You're so right about their terrible communication!
@@joyceeasmon636 terrible at messaging, not GOVERNING
This is so frustrating they are so bad at messaging. They essentially created a lottery system where they made entering the country illegally permanently disqualify you, but a seemingly large-sounding number of people get in legally. I think human nature shows people are susceptible to the idea of a lottery system, especially one where there's hundreds of thousands of winners per year, so this really is a brilliant idea to keep a ton of people out psychologically.
If Trump is elected, he will surely keep it, then take credit for the results, and further entrench his faction.
This should be on national TV.
Agreed!
no it shouldn't
Never because they want Trump to win including CNN
No it shouldn't
Why
I had no idea! Excellent journalism! Like many others here, I wish this was posted sooner!
If that was the only thing you were using as a vote reason a year wouldn’t have been long enough, we’ve seen that four years isn’t enough.
"In politics, the narrative that takes hold is often more important that what actually happened."
This ☝️ defines American politics.
There was a bi-partisan border bill created by Republicans that Biden was prepared to sign, Trump told the GOP not to pass it, so that Trump could use the issue for his 2024 Presidential campaign.
Correct and the person who understands this principle will be wise to capitalize on it and the opponent should’ve known better.
@@sandpeat No I don't want a PR spin person or manipulator or pathological liar for president. I want someone who deals in facts, is accountable based on the facts, and actually achieves a good outcome. You know meritocracy.

This has just raised my respect for them so much more. It's just so sad this journalism didn't reach the public in time and is astonishingly at such a low view rate.
NYT wants an R in the WH. Gunn manufacturers and Frocks want a D in the WH.
It's the fear that drives their sales.
Unfortunately the people that really need to see this clear comprehensive breakdown of the immigration issue are the ones who will vehemently refuse to watch it. Great reporting. Thank you.
You probably believe that our economy and unemployment rate is the greatest it’s ever been because they said they did?
@@michaelreardon303 No, you dont have to think in extremes to dislike Trump. It isn't "the bestest its eva eva been" right now, it would just exponentially worse with Trump. Thinking in extremes is something little kids do...but I guess it's cool that you do it too.
@tystkanin9996 Right but the only reason why I said it is because I’m paraphrasing direct quotes from Biden/Bidenomics + Kamala specifically saying she would do nothing different. There is going to be recovery time, and I don’t expect it to get good over night but don’t keep saying it’s going to be different Because they keep telling us it will be. Accusing someone of being wrong because their philosophical views on politics is something little kids do… But I guess it’s cool that you do it too.
@@michaelreardon303 I didn't say you were wrong, I said you had a bad argument by thinking in extremes. I didn't even say that one side was better than the other in my original comment. All I said was that the people that need to see the video are not ones who will watch the video. I didn't say anything at all specific about either side until you decided to assume the meaning of what I originally said. Futhermore, I am allowed to believe whatever I want to believe about either side, just as you are. Lying and twisting my words that are very clear in the comments is certainly not going to sway me to your side or whatever it is you are trying to do here. I also don't know any little kids who know anything about the philosophical views on politics.
@tystkanin9996 Okay, you’re right. I reacted way too emotionally & irrationally when the video was a calm way to break down how the liberal presidents have handled border patrol and I jumped down your throat on other policies that are basically unrelated. I dont like it when either side lies and spreads misinformation it’s obvious that the left doesn’t like the right and vice versa. It’s more obvious when you look at news & media but people don’t have to be brainwashed to have a certain belief that’s trending or endorsed by desperate celeberities. The problem I have is when a lot of people who don’t live in southern state or work in construction or any job that has an increasing number of illegal immagrants dismisses it as misinformation or non existent because it’s not being reported. I don’t see the crime that illegal immigrants have committed and I believe that even the strictest border policies isn’t going to stop the high level crime from taking place I just can’t stand it when (usually liberals) or politicians want to display statistics that contradict what I’ve actually had to see; I don’t hate them I just think of The Bill Hicks Comedy Special. “Go Back to Bed America, you’re Government is Back in Control. You’re as Free as We Tell You”
This video does a better job of explaining the Biden Administration's immigration policies than anything they have ever released to the public. I have no doubt in my mind that Biden was as good at being President as he was bad at communicating it. I had to do my own research on this topic when I noticed that nobody was talking about Guatemalan and Honduran migration anymore (Harris's primary area of focus) and was shocked to learn how much better the situation is there now. I think Harris still feels wounded by the Lester Holt interview and that has made it difficult for her to stand up for her work on this issue. The media shares some responsibility here, too. They love to cover a problem, but never the work to solve it.
Should be run on prime-time TV. Infuriating this information wasn't more widely broadcast long before now.
If you're doing a good job of governing, nobody notices. Even truly groundbreaking legislative achievements like the first climate bill EVER, the CHIPS Act and the infrastructure bill are not as good in the short-term as someone screaming about hordes of illegals pouring through the southern border. A comedian can then make jokes about Latinos invading with a crude sexual metaphor at a Nazi rally.
Although the same Republicans who opposed those bills were fine with taking the money and the credit when all those bills created jobs. But even the strong economy is still "prices not the same as under Trump" or "interest rates too high" or you mean...before the huge international crisis that killed over a million Americans and that continues to cost the American economy a great deal in lost worker hours that Trump was key in making so bad?
My local coffee shop has closed early twice in the last few months due to multiple 20-year-olds getting sick for weeks with Covid.
Democrats: good at governing, bad at messaging. But especially Biden. Could you even imagine Trump trying to pull off something like this instead of his purely brutal methods?
They love ratings, hence why they don't report on all the good Biden/Harris have done. It's just not as 'click worthy'. The media is to blame for at least 50% of this shitstorm of brain broken conservative talking points.

Essentially:
- secure the physical border to prevent illegal immigration
- provide more legal pathways to make it easier to migrate legally
This is how border security should be done. It makes it more safer for migrants while bringing in the economic benefits of migration.

I predict that Harris-Walz will win the election. However, if they lose, the administration's inability and/or unwillingness to explain its border policy will be a major reason for the loss.
You are correct. The real issue is that diplomacy took too long. How many have lost loved ones to fentanyl? How many immigrants have already invaded the US illegally? Those are things in the past you can never take back. Ieath is permanent and you can never bring back the lives Biden and Harris took in taking forever to fix the border. It's a Day 1 issue and they failed. Kamala failed because she was just too inexperienced to do the job. Trump has already 4 years of Presidential experience bad or good. I'd rather have an accountant with 4 years of experience than an accountant coming in Day 1 not knowing what they're doing and messing up my finances. We are not America's guinea pigs. I've lost loved ones due to their inexperience and it's not fair that they took this long to fix the problem.
That means you did not learn your lesson since 2020. Oh well.
Agreed, sadly it's well known that Democrats are not the better party at messaging...
Correct. Economy and illegal immigration are the two biggest issues amongst Republicans…too little too late to get this info out, unless another news organization picks it up as well.

Somehow it wasn't enough to let the electorate know that Trump directed the GOP in Congress to block anything that might solve the border "crisis" so he could run on the issue.

Good info like this is never too late, if you spread it and share this at the right moment, it’ll spread like wildfire. Alot of voters don’t look up info till right before they vote. As I did the last three elections.
Its hard to believe that Harris and Biden wouldnt communicate this better. Why??
they solved migration but couldnt solve communication. I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and say it's more difficult than it sounds for some reason. But yeah, I'd like to know why also... so we can start solving it before things get worse than they already are.
Probably because it was still an overall failure. This video spent a lot of time talking about why immigration is only now declining from the peak levels reached during Biden's presidency. I don't think it spent a single second explaining how we went from record lows in immigration in 2020 to record highs (by astronomical amounts) from 2021 to 2024. Ignoring that single peak in early 2019, I don't think there's a single bar on that chart from Biden's term that's lower than ANY point in Trump's term. Why is that? Why don't we hear about that?
@@Gamer2k4 it was already said here or somewhere else that immigration is lower now than it was when Trump left office. So....

People have been distracted by the hatred spread by mostly the far right. Immigrants are very important but it's essential to do it safely and fair.
They have talked about it, Trump has literally been dancing and trying to distract people by doing stunts while Harris has been in many many interviews discussing policies. But people are so polarized that they don't care about the actual truth, they just want to defend their side.
It’s difficult to explain in just a few minutes and people want a short “fix” to everything. Life doesn’t work that way. Most people won’t even take the time to listen to this because it’s longer than 5 minutes and they won’t spend the time to listen and try to understand it.
@@adamduncan5371 🤣
Can't imagine it would have made a difference for the people who care about illegal immigration. The chart shows that the numbers remained higher than they were historically. If suspending asylum is so effective, then waiting until the 4th year to do it comes off as too little too late. If the Biden-Harris admin's strategies further south are so effective, we should see an uptick in people taking their chances with an illegal crossing as soon as they're ended.
Yes, Biden, Harris, and the Dems should have done a better job of letting the public know about this. It would have been great if this video was released earlier but ultimately it’s the democrats who are responsible for their messaging, not the creator of this video.
We need more reporting like this.
Agree. Everyone is putting the responsibility on everyone other than the party that has been in office for the past 4 years. Stop blaming Jill Stein voters, stop blaming Latino and Black men, stop blaming racism and misogyny. This was a messaging and lack of transparency issue. An overwhelming majority of people who think Trump is going to fix the economy don't even understand how the economy works and don't realize he cannot reduce the price of eggs. Maybe it will be a wakeup call, maybe it won't.
The problem was that the whole media universe was packed full daily with Trumps BS. They fed this orange baboon campaign for 10 yrs!
This is journalism at its peak
without any sources? That is what you call a PEAK? What in the right mind makes you think that or are you just a bot?
Lol who are you kidding? The only reason they changed their stance on the border is because they realized they were in risk of losing reelection and the GOP was withholding funding for Ukraine without doing something about the border. And creating an app to allow illegals to get first class tickets into the U.S isn't doing anything to fix the problem! You fool
People that never second guess the “journalism” the media spoonfeeds them have no critical thinking skills.
@@StarWarsExpert_he literally told you where he got his information from in the video go research yourself as NYT did
@@jalend3609 Perhaps it would be more helpful to include links to his sources in the description. I took a closer look at one of his sources and found some intriguing information. I examined the source for the graph at minute 8:03.
I came across the exact graph under the source, which included additional information that he had not included. It would be better if he included the whole graph. After the initial decline in May 2022, the graph shows a rise to 17k in June, 25k in August and almost 35k in September. It seems that the graph has been presented in a way that leaves out a part of the picture, which could make it seem one-sided. There is a further decline in November to just 7k, but in April there is another spike of 25k.
Overall, this should indicate to you that he selectivly chose to only show this portion of the graph, because the other portion of the graph doesn't support his theory.
While the policy may have had some impact, it seems to have been short-lived. By selectively presenting parts of the graph, he gives the impression that the impact was more long-lasting than it actually was.
Why hasn’t this been in the media and played by EVERYONE???
Because most people don’t care about facts and research. They just care about what makes them feel better and what fuels their hate. You can give them the links and articles all day they won’t care. Someone on TikTok said this so they take it as facts.
Hate won in this election
Yeah, they want the show of "build a wall" that doesn't work and isn't sustainable.
They were far too busy calling Trump supporters nazis fascists garbage etc .
Unfortunately thats what the MAGA won't understand.... solving problems is way less exciting and less over fantasized than reality ...
Please give this video's production team a raise. It's incredibly clear, informative, draws data as well as lived narratives. Information like this is what we've been missing for many years.
I only knew this all through my job. Thank you for putting this all together.
This should have been her speeches as well as women rights. WOW this is team work.
Where was this video three months ago? It would have made a big difference.
not likely. inflation hurt every encumbancy in developed countries the world over. voters dont care about facts because theyre just humans with monkey brains. this election was largely doomed before it ever began.
Probably because people can still look at the chart and see that immigration throughout Biden's presidency was two to four times worse (and in some cases 10x worse - 300k vs 30k) than during Trump's presidency. All these "solutions" that the video talks about somehow still couldn't get immigration down to even the WORST part of Trump's term. There was certainly no explanation for how they got so high and stayed so high in the first place.
Why didn't the Biden or the Harris campaign ever explain things this way to the public?
It would come off as demeaning/gaslighting. When an overwhelming majority of Americans believe there is a huge border crisis due to mismanagement of the Biden administration you have to play along if you want to get elected. I can see now why she has always said she stands behind what they did and wouldn't change a thing.
They were too busy working on the issues, not spreading lies.
Incumbent parties have a lot more work to do during campaigning. From juggling current administration to campaigning to turning out effective work. It's a lot. Imagine all that and VP Harris to plunge into a 107 campaign out of nowhere. It's unprecedented and honestly, quite unbelievable what she pulled off. Compare that to trump that all he has to do is show up and talk rubbish and sway to Ave Maria for 40 minutes.
NOw that we have lost, perhaps we need to teach those that had been fed misinformation the truth so we can get out of this mess.
You mean this mess: m.ruclips.net/user/shortsuDIB13ywdQY
@@michaelreardon303 It's as simple as the american people unable to understand inflation vs price gouging. Harris already said the covid pricings on goods are still upheld by corporations even when we're past COVID recession. The price you paid in 2020 is still being the same now even when corporations have bounced back. That's why you're still paying high and that's why she said she'll go after corporations that's price gouging. Inflation is already super low at 2%. What's left was price gouging lol but the educated vs the uneducated seems to be 49/51....because they belief TARIFFS = price decrease 😆
I hope more Americans see this
DON'T JUST WATCH THIS VIDEO...SHARE SHARE SHARE....NOW!!!!!!..this video came out too late

A very smart way of working on such a complex problem! 👏
people voted for trump as a vote against deceptive and ignorant reporting like this. allow 15 million people for 3.75 years to change their tune just before the election.
Oh, so they're actually doing a great job. I had no idea! What a mind blower. Boy is my face red. I'm running over to the polls right now to vote for joy.
Who’s Joy? The candidates are Ka-Ma-La and Donald Trump
I never heard of this and would like to know more about it.
No, I think the real issue is that diplomacy took too long. How many have lost loved ones to fentanyl? How many immigrants have already invaded the US illegally? Those are things in the past you can never take back. I understand death and no matter what, you can never bring back a life no matter how long it took to see this change. Although this is good information, death is permanent and you can never bring back the lives Biden and Harris took in taking forever to fix the border. It's a Day 1 issue and they failed. Kamala failed because she was just too inexperienced to do the job. Trump has already 4 years of Presidential experience bad or good. I'd rather have an accountant with 4 years of experience than an accountant coming in Day 1 not knowing what they're doing and messing up my finances. We are not America's guinea pigs. I've lost loved ones due to their inexperience and it's not fair that they took this long to fix the problem.
I voted for Harris And Walz because I know they will secure our Southern Border by making diplomatic agreements with our Neighbors of the South and by Passing a Bill to allow Border Patrol Officers to return back Migrants who cross Illegally
I dont tolerate Family separations, ending Birthright Citizenship, hateful Rethoric towards Migrants wont Solve the Issues at our Borders

They wouldn't. Because it's obviously propaganda
This video would be more fair if the investigation showed some background information on why there was an increasing number of people seeking asylum. My guess is that COVID's broader impact on those countries' economies and the restrictions on previous numbers played a role.
Exactly. The Trump administration was also relying on Title 42 emergency powers to close the border during COVID, and the Biden administration continued do this until the COVID emergency ended.
it did he clearly stated that most of the migrants were fleeing Venezuela. we knows who's in charge there
If you know anything about the Nixon, Reagan, and both Bush administrations, you'd know how much destruction this nation has brought to the political and economic stability in almost all Central and South American countries.
That is why people can't stay and need to come here.
You’re right. This topic deserves the broadest lens. Beyond Covid, there are some American policies and actions in south/latin America over the past century that have had severe negative consequences for the people living in these regions, thus driving much of the immigration we see today.
Or Venezuela becoming a socialist nation? People flee those types of governments for a reason
This is way too complex for the average trump voter.

WHY ARE THEY NOT MENTIONING THIS IN THE CAMPAIGN?
Cause they have ALLOWED the right to hold the narrative. The Democrats do a lot of good for the country. But they don’t know how to relay the message.
Cause it's probably a lie.

Thank you for the real investigative journalism. History will look back favorably on the work of Biden And Harris 💙🇺🇸
Yeah, for sure. History will look back at Biden-Harris as the administration who caused record high inflation and who let in 14 million of illegal immigrants in 3.5 years.
Biden openned the border
WOW! Wished I’d had this video months ago to share with my trump supporting friends. But I have been sharing my point about Biden -Harris Humanitarian Parole program as a result of Kamala’s travels to the sources of the problem thank you Kamala Harris!
what's weak is that Biden/Harris don't have the vernacular to inform us of this and it takes the NYT to tell us.
Best of luck America. Hope you all are not going back to Trump. 🍀

@@vincelemaire Come up with a new line. Maga's are so uncreative.
I live in Southern California, I work and talk with many Mexican people.
Believe me when I yell you this, people are not coming here like before, its probably at 75% down from how it was un the 90s. People dont eant to come here knowing there is no work, they do not want to pay 10k to come here and look for work for months. The immigrants coming here are from South America and Caribbean countries, and Asians.
Still not too late. The national election is a loss, but we still have a local government to work on. Spread this to your communities. It's easier to change a few people, rather than millions.
This is incredible!!
I had no idea that they were doing this!!
Keep sharing this as much as possible!!

Isn’t it the campaign’s job to ensure that you know this? They failed miserably.
Same
Are you telling me CNN don't have these "facts"?
I have heard that she travelling a lot as a VP and met several leaders but never full details like this .
Closing a border doesnt need a bill!!
She should closed when its already out of hand!!
Now I understand exactly what happened. Thank you. I will share this video
Whoever did this should receive an award for Excellence in Journalism!
I've never heard, seen or knew these existed, this is ridiculous. Where are these articles? Why are they not getting out to the American public, reasons like this are kind of why we lost.
Best video ever made on border crisis....a must watch ,👍
The Biden Harris campaign needs Journalist like this RUclips. The are horrible running their campaigns and maintaining social media presence. There's a reason people are saying if Democrats lose blame it on their trashy campaigns.
I like how he never stated the absolute millions and millions of border crossings that happed and just because one person said no means the border is "secure".
This is basically 16 minutes of complete word salad by highlighting superfluous things and anecdotes with little proof that their policy actually worked long term. The first graph claims that Venezuelan border crossings were reduced to less than 5k per month thanks to Biden's "astonishing" diplomatic negotiations with southern countries to regulate the flow of Venezuelan migrants. Yet in the second graph, it immediately jumped back to 17k and up just 2 months later? What happened? Even with all of Biden and Harris's policies, illegal immigration was STILL noticeably higher than previous administrations in the latter half of 2024 according to the graph shown in this video. And yeah, this video never addresses the fact that they undid Trump's border policies and led to a record number of border-crossings and migrant crime. Not to mention the fact that democrats opposed voter ID laws during the election, because nothing says being tough on immigration like making it easier for them to vote illegally in national elections.
Very telling that according to this video, Biden only got tough on migrant crossings in June 2024, you know, the month of his first debate with Trump. It's almost as if he wanted to appear tough on immigration only when it was close to re-election because everyone knew that it was a contentious issue. But ignore your eyes because Biden's administration was secretly just as tough on illegal immigration as Trump's! It was just invisible and we just couldn't explain it to you with tangible proof until now!
POST this everywhere! This is well done! 👍
Too late
It's too late now. Democrats are finished
One of the biggest things that people forget is that being found to cross the border illegally means that you have to wait to enter legally for much longer than that person stayed in the US. (Up to ten times the year then spent in the first place, I believe.) It used to be much easier for people to *leave*, but now that risks being found out and being barred entry in the future make that a scary proposition.
So basically, they're smarter than people realize and their solutions are more complex and effective than people will ever understand.
Just in time for trump to take credit.
The NYT held vital information to voters.
10 million crossed into the US every year, but the border was secured. Who are their targatwd audiences?
To spread false narrative is strategy to
smear the opponent and those who are not well

This Needs to be aired on Primetime television; not once but three ,four, five times. Yes this still needs to be aired ; it doesn't matter who has supposedly been elected.
In 2017 when I retired I took a part time job in a small, unfamiliar city. I was baking, part time as a way off learning the ins and outs of the town, while working side by side with a crew of Latino workers. Nothing new for me as I had taught culinary arts at a college and cooked in the restaurant industry for years. What I learned there upset and shocked me. All of the Latinos had social security numbers as they were recorded by the owner/manager of the restaurant. Later I learned that funding to verify those numbers as authentic was not available. Now 7 years later and many fraught political revelations; the GOP doesn't want our agencies funded so they can say they are observing the law but allow business to pocket profits.
The saddest part of this story is the stress on the faces of the guys I worked with. They lived together in a broken down trailer in a broken down trailer park that had siding around its perimeter so the community wouldn't have to see the shabbiness of the place. A place where misery lived in a city where others could live believing they were lawful and good citizens. This is the true face of who we are as most of us benefit from this system.
This video is extraordinarily clear on the surgical nuances of the issues at the border and immigration.
Are you telling me CNN don't have these "facts"?
It's actually not, it's barely scratching the surface.
The guy omitted a lot of information to try and spin his narrative.
The most egregious example is Strategy 3. He's talking about the humanitarian parole expansion- CHNV- He shows you a chart about the drop off of Venezuelan migrants, slow rollout. CHNV was fully implemented Jan '23. through executive action which allowed up to 30,000 migrants from the countries of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to be flown into the United States on the dime of the US taxpayer. Tens of billions of dollars
-Since the expansion the DHS has flown in over 520,000 migrants total.
-DHS recently had to shut the program down in June, when they "noticed" that for every 30 migrants, there was only 1 sponsor. These numbers indicated that there was not only MASSIVE FRAUD, but potential HUMAN TRAFFICKING facilitated by our own US government. It's garbage, can't believe this guy called it creative.
So, in 2023 there was a small drop in encounters at the Southern border (2.7 mil to 2.3, both record shattering years) but total encounters increased to 3.2 mil (air, Northern border, sea). On top of the 3.2 mil, CHNV flew in 360,000 that first year.
To put this in perspective, under the 4 years under Trump, there were only 1.95 mil border encounters.
If you guys want me to debunk the rest of this video, let me know.
Cute video though
This should be put out to the public. Noise does not get the work done. Strong thinkers followed the best path for all. Republicans will undo all this administration did, and it worked. Biden and Harris can walk away knowing that they did it the right way with their heads held high. I also believe that the media let the public know and did not support this administration.
Basically the same thing that ended up happening in this video, is what Trump did with the remain in Mexico policy. He had people remain in Mexico until their court date and then they could be vetted for asylum. It's basically the same exact thing you ended up with in this video. He's just making it sound a lot more persuasive. Lol 😂
For generations, these boarders have been illegally crosses. From the north south east and west. Let's not forget, these people have been getting work under the table. Who hired them? Can't complain about the "crisis" while benefiting from it.
They crossed to come and work in the fields so who brought them here. Without immigrants America can’t get food to their table thanks to immigrants. Another thing if Americans were working the immigrants couldn’t come here and get jobs there wouldn’t be any vacancies. So lot of ppl are speaking of things they don’t know about
@@annbarkley5284Let’s talk about young Americans, that’s the problem, they don’t wanna work, I’ve been a hotel manager in Florida for many years and Americans show up 1 or 2 days and then they’re gone, no skills but demanding a raise in less than a month and a lot of attitude/threats when it comes to certain American demographic.
This country is going downfall, old Americans is what made this country great, new generations are ruining it, they just wanna smoke pot and have fun.
This guy is in denial.
At the last minute, they drop a video - not an article - explaining how Biden/Harris were not "weak" on the border. This was needed three months ago. On the digital front page you'll always find an article, opinion or podcast analyzing Trump and MAGA. It's tiring. We've had enough!
ITS TOO LATE NOW!! WE ARE IN DANGER WITH TRUMP!!

Bidens messaging on the border was horrible.
Great research and journalism. These kinds of policy changes do not happen overnight...thank you for putting these pieces together for us!
Biden had three years, he basically handed republicans a weapon and could doom kamala.

@@lorenzlorenzo1975 Nope
Okay, they don't happen overnight. So what was going on from 2021 to 2023 when illegal immigration absolutely skyrocketed in a way no other presidency ever experienced?
Harris should have explain this in her conference in a simple way..
Because she didn’t.
Good job...3 days before the freaking election.
