Biden should have pardoned all those border violators that had no other criminal convictions.

I think we should remember that something like half of all people in the country “illegally” are here through visa violations, ala Musk, which are civil, not criminal, violations. (Some are allowed to stay regardless, and are later inexplicably awarded citizenship and high positions in government, through which they eneavor mightily to pull up the ladder behind them).

BTW, the Guardian has an interesting, first-person account of what it’s like to be arrested in a visa office when you’re trying to work out a snafu, handcuffed, and eventually thrown in a communal cage in a private, for-profit prison, where you sleep on the concrete floor with 30 others.
All without anyone giving you any information about your fate.
It’s worth a read.

I'm only surprised that they haven't put the immigration prisons in northern Alaska to copy the Soviet Gulags.

Trump doesn't recognize the Biden pardons. So it's a moot point now.

Note how the front-line officers dutifully and, dare I say, with vigor enforce injustice at the slightest opportunity.
