Regarding immigration, I find it difficult to criticize Biden too strongly for his actions. The surge of unaccompanied minors at the border was the result of a compassionate and ethical border policy which largely refused to turn away children without processing their claims. Due to the infrastructure being decimated by Trump and the sudden surge of unaccompanied minors, the system couldn't handle it, but there was really no winning solution here. Either you continue Trump's awful policies or you don't and deal with the surge. I am glad the Biden administration chose the latter.
Now the question becomes, "how exactly did they deal with it?" I agree that the Administrations PR side of managing this was pretty garbage. They seemed to try to sweep it under the rug, which is not a tactic I agree with.
But as for their actual actions towards facing this crisis, I have less to complain about. In March, there were about 5750 kids in CBP custody. That is a lot. As of about a week ago, that number is down to 954. Average time is CBP custody has dropped from 133 hours to 28 hours. While there is still more work to do, the situation is largely under control as of now and that is due to the work put in by the Biden Administration.
I agree with most of what you said (and I'm sure you know where our disagreements lie), but since there hasn't been much conversation about these updates, I figured I'd chime in here.

Yeah, but did you see him sneeze on Fox?

Bernie busters did this exact same thing to Elizabeth Warren. So the stupidity is in both of the American cultures. But, I do agree, this sort of thing is mostly on the pro-Republican side.
