Just when you thought the Biden Administration was actually going to do something to fix the border they revealed this weak solution. During a Press Briefing, Press Secretary Jen Psaki claimed the Biden Administration is trying to stop migrants from coming here in what must be one of the most passive ways possible. They are running ads in other countries.
“If I may, I wanted to — I actually had a little bit of an update or just something I thought would be of interest to many of you, which is what some of the steps are we’re taking in these countries to communicate. And a lot of this is through, of course, the State Department and embassies. And so here’s a few things we’re doing — and this will obviously increase over time, but just to give you a sense of our investment:
The State Department continues to — we’ve placed an estimated 17,118 radio ads in Brazil, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras since January 21st in Spanish, Portuguese, and six indigenous languages. These ads played on 33 radio stations reaching an estimated 15 million individuals.
The department has also worked with Facebook and Instagram on an advertising campaign that put out — put our migration messages in the social media streams of millions of individuals who fit the profile of intending migrants. These are very targeted, of course. A total of 589 digital ads in paid search, display, and social media supporting the ongoing migration campaign in Northern Triangle countries have reached more than 26 million people since Inauguration Day.
These ads created over 73 million impressions in the targeted countries, and we’re also taking creative approaches in different countries to make sure we’re reaching people, meeting people where they are; in some ways, how we try to do things in the United States. ”

Don't worry, guys! Jen Psaki says the State Department is publishing ads on Facebook and Instagram telling people in Central America to not come to the United States. Oh, and there are radio ads and even "a comic book and animated show."

They have actual solutions that they know work. Just off the top of my head, they could just reinstate the deal with Mexico that Trump brokered that stopped migrants from coming here. A plan that they know would work, as opposed to running ads that could help, maybe…
