> we don't throw up our hands and give up the idea of border control.

We must reside in different countries. Being in USA, I observe we did drop enforcement on the southern border.

"... administration has ended the Trump-era Migrant Protection Protocol, a policy that forced asylum-seekers to remain in Mexico as they await their court hearings, and has halted construction on a wall ..."

The Biden administration has decided to build the wall, as of fall 2023: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/06/us/border-wall-biden.html

This is confusing. According to that article twenty miles will be built because present administration is unable to stop it.

  "... building up to 20 miles of border wall because he has to. The administration said that it was bound to build this section of new wall because Congress already appropriated the funding to do so in 2019. It had been unsuccessful in convincing Congress to rescind the funding, Mr. Mayorkas said."

Seems other parts will not be built, and materials were sold off already.

It's like USA personality changes every few months, and there are unlimited funds for these games.

It's a choice to not fight it, likely because they realize that this is a losing issue for them (the administration, and the Dems more generally).
