> Again, objectively, it does look bad that bill was to secure the border but Trump Admin seems to have done that without a bill.

This is a matter of simply breaking the law.

The border is secured in the sense that Trump has made the US such an unappealing destination that fewer people want to risk it. It's a valid strategy (if awful) except in that doing so essentially requires the government to violate laws.

Turns out it's easy to "solve problems" when you aren't constrained by laws. Not an insight whatsoever.

Specific laws being violated:

* Due Process protections

* Equal Protection

* Asylum laws

Actually towards the end of the Biden administration, they engaged in similar law-breaking because immigration was obviously going to be such a political liability going into the election. Those moves have since been found to be illegal: https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/district-court-strikes-d...

Most of the Trump admin's moves to make the US so unappealing that no one wants to risk coming here will also ultimately be found to be illegal.
