What does "restoring normalcy" mean at the border?

What would "restoring normalcy" at the border look like? Americans in border towns would like to see local cross-border travel resume, with people coming through ports of entry (rather than cutting through farms and ranches) and leaving at their appointed time. They would like to grow unaccustomed to high-speed chases through school zones. They would like to feel heard.
Most voters across the country would be happy to see the blue line below drop down to close to zero (the legal limit for illegal immigration is zero, after all).
By that measure, Biden has so far failed to deliver on his promise. But if you look at the orange line, you can see that Trump faced a similar challenge in 2019 until put measures in place to bring the numbers back down — measures Biden ill-advisedly overturned.
