In the two months since ripping up the diplomatic deals of his predecessor, Joe Biden has faced the first crisis of his own making in his presidency. Donald Trump’s safe-third-country deals secured the border not by border policy itself, but rather by ensuring that refugees from the Northern Triangle, now the source of the majority of the migrants seeking our southern border, must apply for asylum from the first safe country they reach.

Biden rescinded these sensible policies, and within the month, Border Patrol reported the highest border crossings in raw numbers for March, with a record number of unaccompanied children endangering their lives by crossing.
