I dispute the characterization. He does not want to "throw open the southern border". He has rescinded the less humane measures Trump implemented, and is calling on Congress to enact reform. There is also the Dignity Act of 2023, which is both bipartisan, and is a little reform. I'd be surprised if Biden doesn't sign it (assuming it reaches his desk). It's not perfect, but it's a start.**

Yes, you have to train border patrol agents. Once you hire them, and start paying them. That is the tricky bit when Congress (especially the red side of the aisle) wants to cut everyone's budgets.



**Why does Congress always have to do things piecemeal? Just knuckle-down and overhaul the whole system in one shot. A lot of times, some measures don't work without other measures in tandem, but they won't pass those tandem measures at the same time.
