No.
It's got nothing to do with Biden or Trump.
The asylum claim laws were passed in the 1950's and are essentially unchanged. Biden attempted to cap them as a pre election move, but Trump blocked him. Every administration has had claimants from Latin America.
The #'s vary up and down. This is driven by home country conditions in Latin America. The early 2000's featured a huge spike in claims from Mexico, which then subsided. The current massive numbers are because of crime in Central America.
It's got nothing to do with who the president is. It's not as though Biden jerked off one day and said "I'm going to let in millions of Hondurans" because I feel generous. These claims are legally mandated by the Refugee Claims LEGISLATION FROM THE 1950's.
Trump can either cap the #'s or revoke the legislation entirely. That would stop asylum claims, or reduce them. I don't think he's serious about doing that because the GOP likes "the Border is broken" as a scare tactic political issue. If they "fix it" by revoking the legislation, then the issue dies. And simply becomes a question of how much funding the administration gives to Immigration police to hunt down and deport illegals who don't make asylum claims.
It's also a two-edged sword. Hypothetical: - Manuel and Juanita are legal immigrants in El Paso. They might resent illegals flooding in. At the same time, their daughter Viviana wants to marry a long-term illegal guy Jose who's a hard worker and a good guy and who came to the US with his family when he was 3 years old. So they don't want Jose deported and they want him to get US status.
So the political aspect is complicated and could both help and hurt polling.
