Biden’s Border Policy Shift: Rebuilding the Wall
In a significant policy shift, President Joe Biden, who had previously dismissed the idea of a border wall as a “waste of money,” has given the green light to the construction of a new border wall in Texas. This decision comes in the wake of a staggering surge in illegal border crossings, reaching an all-time high in August.
The New Wall: Biden’s approval covers the construction of approximately 20 miles of border wall in Starr County, Texas. The move was prompted by the observation of “high illegal entry” in the area, as stated by DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
A Walk Down Memory Lane: During his 2020 presidential campaign, then-candidate Biden unequivocally stated, “It is a waste of money that diverts attention from genuine threats to our homeland security… it shall be the policy of my administration that no more American taxpayer dollars be diverted to construct a border wall.”
The Bigger Picture: Border Patrol has documented over 260,000 encounters with illegal immigrants in August alone, marking the highest monthly total on record.
The Left’s Perspective: Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez expressed her discontent with Biden’s decision, urging him to “take responsibility for this decision and reverse course.”
The Right’s Take: Former President Donald Trump, who championed border security during his tenure, didn’t hold back, stating on Truth Social, “Will Joe Biden apologize to me and America for taking so long to get moving, and allowing our country to be flooded with 15 million illegal immigrants, from places unknown. I will await his apology!”
Zooming Out: Biden’s policy pivot is a response to the border crisis increasingly encroaching on areas where his own voters reside, such as New York City and Chicago. These cities find their resources stretched to the breaking point due to the overwhelming impact of the illegal immigration crisis.
