The criticism extends to the New York Times, which surprisingly published an op-ed penned by someone who previously served as a Biden border advisor. The author suggests solutions for fixing the immigration system, despite having been part of the administration that denied the existence of a border crisis.

Here’s how to fix our immigration system"—was mocked relentlessly for its audacity, especially given the author's own role in downplaying the crisis at the time.
