Wasn’t there a bipartisan border security bill presented recently that Republicans refused to even debate because Trump said it wouldn’t benefit him politically to have secure borders?
Sort of. The bill itself actually legalized a certain level of illegal immigration, it wasn't like it was strengthening existing laws.
And on that subject... Illegal crossings went down under Trump then up tremendously under Biden. Why? Because the laws already on the books (which Trump was having enforced with gusto) began being ignored. It's useless to pass more laws (especially lesser ones) when the laws are already being ignored.
So the "bipartisan border security bill" was useless on two fronts: it actually weakened current laws and the current laws aren't being fully enforced.
