The Remain in Mexico policy, which Mexico agreed to and Biden undid, would have kept nearly all of the heat of the border crisis off of Democrats.
Yes, it is true that the bi-partisan border bill was stopped by Republicans to keep the border an issue for the election, but stopping bills, for political reasons, isn't an entirely uncommon practice.
This has been explained to you many times. That you still seem to cling to this nonsense raises that question again about the intelligence of Trump supporters. One more time I will explain. I'll even give you citations.
1. What you're talking about was actually two different programs. The first was Remain in Mexico, promulgated in 2019. The second was the restriction popularly known as Title 42, as it was promulgated by the CDC pursuant to the statutes in the federal code giving it emergency powers under a national health emergency.
2. Remain in Mexico is illegal. Only one appeals court has addressed the matter -- the 9th Circuit court of appeals. It found that the program violated US statutory law (which is clearly does). It declared the policy illegal and also entered an injunction. The Supreme Court stayed the injunction but otherwise did not comment. The only way Remain in Mexico could be implemented now would be to defy a judgment by a federal appeals court. God damn that Biden for following the law! Anyway, people stopped talking about it because Trump got what he wanted with Title 42.
Citation: Here is the 9th Circuit's order:
The American Civil Liberties Union, Southern Poverty Law Center, and Center for Gender & Refugee Studies filed a federal lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s new policy forcing asylum seekers to return to Mexico and remain there while their cases are considered.

3. As for Title 42, Biden kept it in place well into 2022, when it became clear that the policy had grave problems. Then rogue federal courts enjoined him from lifting it, because reasons. But anyway, it could haven't survived after the pandemic emergency ended, because the CDC was rule based on the pandemic. Once Biden declared the pandemic to be over (as it clearly is), the authorization for Title 42 disappeared. Title 42 cannot be resumed, because there is no public health emergency.

4. Mexico made it clear that they weren't going to renew their cooperation -- but that's not the main problem. The main problem is that it is illegal under federal law. That was what the bipartisan bill that Trump tanked was going to address.
This has now been explained to you as clearly as possible. Citations have been provided, including a citation to the most authoritative source about the 9th Circuit's ruling -- namely, a link to that ruling itself. If you continue to persist with your nonsense about it, the only possible conclusions are a) you are not sufficiently intelligent to comprehend; or b) you are engaging in bad faith without any interest in learning what you don't know. Either way, it should cause you to reexamine some things.
