Of course they were country shopping. If you were migrating out of Haiti, wouldn't you choose a destination? Yes, the USA is a destination of choice for hundreds of millions of would be immigrants, and that is a real concern for us. But it is not an excuse to gin up hateful lies against President Biden by blaming every increase on him. Some of you-uns talk like there were not times when a hundred thousand people crossed our border illegally every month during Trump's Administration, and you ought to know that there were.
We also know Trump forced many wannabe immigrants to stay on the other side of the border and didn't automatically let them cross and then distribute them. If you make a tough policy and stick to it, things will change; if you flip flop, then people don't believe you mean or stand for anything. You should also remember the courts have had plenty of input into this matter affecting all administrations - they tied Trump's hands more than once.
