Push and Pull

"Biden officials tend to discuss the 'push factors,' the conditions that prompt migrants to flee their countries in Central America. But changing those underlying conditions, even if doable, is a long-term proposition. What we have much more direct control over is the 'pull factors,' our own policies and practices that create an incentive to come here."

Rich Lowry at Politico says that President Biden's "border policies are creating a migrant surge that risks running out of control."
