CNN — President Joe Biden called on House Republicans to take up the bipartisan border deal, calling it the “strongest border deal the country has ever seen,” and urged governors to push Congress to move the bill. Speaking to a gathering of governors at the White House on Friday, Biden underscored bipartisan efforts to reform the immigration system, including the most recent round with Senate negotiators and administration officials that culminated in some of the toughest border security measures in recent memory.

“Over time, our laws and our resources haven’t kept up with our system and it’s broken. And our politics has failed to fix it,” Biden said. “The bipartisan agreement represents the most fair and humane reforms in a long time. I didn’t get everything I wanted. It also includes the toughest set of reforms to secure the border ever in history.” Each of the tables where governors are seated have a fact sheet with details of the border deal, Biden said.

Governors nationwide have had to contend with the record level of migrants at the US-Mexico border, in part as a result of GOP Texas Gov. Greg Abbott busing migrants to Democratic-led cities unannounced. The White House has faced fierce criticism from states as they seek additional resources and policy changes.

“It’s a positive step, a significant step. You know that. You deal with this every day, some of you deal with it every single day. You have real skin in the game,” Biden said. “Tell your members of Congress who are standing in the way, show a little spine.” Biden put the blame on Republicans for coming in the way of funding for governors whose states are receiving migrants.

3. Thought Biden

was going to announce his own restrictions today. And what happened with the deal with Mexico where immigrants were to be interviewed at their southern border instead of taking the dangerous trip through Mexico.

4. "And what happened with the deal with Mexico"

They do have offices set up in Mexico, Central, and South America for legal processing - https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/biden-us-processing-centers-migrants-guatemala-colombia-rcna81751

One of the issues is the existence of traffickers who take their money with "promises", bypassing those centers, and will then deposit people at the border and run off with the $$$.

And in addition, what the media also isn't telling you except every once in awhile, is that many of the migrants are not from there. Many are now coming in from Haiti, Cuba, and even some African countries, as well as China. Mexico has been tacitly watching migrants coming through their country on the way here and has basically told the U.S. that if financial assistance to those countries is given to stabilize them, then maybe that would help "solve the problem".
