Shifting Immigration Enforcement Landscape

• 📉 Homan attributes the current situation to the Biden administration's policies, which he claims led to an "open border" and over 10.5 million illegal entries.
• 🏛️ He suggests that the Democratic party may have pursued these policies for potential future political benefits, such as increased census counts and more Democratic congressional seats.

Media Coverage and Political Rhetoric
