President Biden tried to ease border chaos by advising migrants to turn around, but Arizona Governor Doug Ducey told ABC News ‘This Week’ on Sunday that he has to do better than that to make a difference.
“He can certainly communicate more often, more clearly and should speak to the president [Andres Manuel Lopez] Obrador, “he said.” He has a big microphone. He needs to use it properly. “
Ducey highlighted the scale of Biden’s immigration campaign, which has so far generated a 460% increase in “illegal seizures” and more than 100,000 migrants in custody, including 13,000 minors.

“This is a historic record for the agency,” he said. “It has been the reverse of the Biden administration of Trump’s policies and needs attention.”
The governor said he believed the Migrant Protection Protocols launched under Trump were the right policy and were “working” to discourage migrants from embarking on a dangerous journey.
ABC hostess Martha Raddatz met with the governor at the border and also with other immigrants who were frustrated by the president’s new directive to reverse the course. A migrant named Ophelia and her 10-year-old son were returning to Guatemala after trusting that under Biden she would be welcome in the states.

“Biden promised that we could breed with minors,” said Ophelia.
