I don't think he did strip her of the responsibility.  I was only asking to
make sure I covered my bases in case I missed something.

I don't believe that crossings are down.  I would find CBP data to be more
reliable than what the politicians are saying.

You find the root causes so you can try to solve the issue.  If you don't
know the root causes, or just try to use a bunch of buzz words to placate
people, you won't ever figure out any proper solution.

Supposedly, she has stated that the one of the issues is poverty in the
other countries and, rather than close the border, we need to leave it open
while we try to solve that issue in those other countries.

My take on that is that there are not enough resources to fix that issue in
all of the countries in question; getting involved in the politics of other
countries usually does not go well for us (especially countries in Central
and South America); the only way to fix this by going down her path is to
make ourselves poorer; and this means the border will never be closed.
