Reports have declared that President Biden's administration plans to build around 20+ miles of wall on the southern border, particularly in an area where illegal immigration is at a higher number than others. This decision comes as the administration is facing criticism for its handling of the border crisis.
Congressman Greg Murphy took to Twitter to express his thoughts on the matter, stating, "Biden is finally woken up and realize the southern border is being overrun." He further added that it is a political disaster for the President, who is now trying to cover up the situation with lies.
The southern border has been a topic of concern for many, with America experiencing a historic crisis in terms of border immigration. Former President Trump's wall was seen as a solution to this crisis. The GOP released a report on the issue, highlighting Biden's refusal to meet with members of his own party during a recent visit to New York City. The report suggests that Biden's open border policy is a result of his far-left beliefs.
Since Biden's inauguration in 2021, millions of individuals have crossed the border, and it is anticipated that millions more will do so until the next presidential election in 2024. This immigration crisis has surpassed any other in history, according to the Center for Immigration Studies. They argue that Biden's administration has dismantled one of the most secure borders that previously existed.
Interestingly, BBC reported that back in 2020, Biden stated that he would not build another foot of the wall during his term. However, in late September, he acknowledged that he could not stop the wall from being built due to the funding already approved. This month has seen a record number of immigrants, and there is a lack of housing available for these individuals, which is a direct result of the vulnerabilities created by Biden's policies.
The decision to build a section of the wall on the southern border is likely to face further scrutiny and debate as the immigration crisis continues to be a pressing issue for the Biden administration.
