Probably better aimed at the last guy than the new one.  Crime and cruelty was the point of those policies.  Here again I'd point out that there's actually no shortage of legitimate gripes with this administration to be had, but human traffickers...trafficking humans?  Nope.  That's on them.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust.

I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Seems a bit ludicrous to blame biden for drug dealers dealing drugs, mass murderers murdering, school shooters shooting, or child molesters molesting, exactly.

It would boggle my mind if a person who wants to criticize an admin drew a complete blank, and resorted to any of the above. Especially in the context of immigration, where the biden admin is very much fucking up, but in none of the thematic ways that the curvy couch tells it's viewers to be triggered by. Ironically, the biden admin is fucking up in all of the ways that it's doing exactly what that set wanted them to do with the browns. The things they really, really like. Lock em up.

No, you can't blame Biden for the surge. Yes, you can blame Biden for the inadequacy of the response. Though I suspect Trump had a lot to do with it.

Biden has been in office for two months.  Two.  He has focused on getting people vaccinated for COVID and seems to be checking off the list as quickly as he can.  

He can't unfuck the last four years in two months.  Nobody could.

With all due respect, it is impossible to know what of this has been contributed by Biden. I suspect your suspicions are right, but that's all they are. The facts, are unknown.
