When President Joe Biden was campaigning in 2020 in front of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, he promised, “There will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration.”
The border construction announcement came late at night and consisted of a single notice posted to the Federal Register identifying 26 laws the Biden administration will have to waive in order to begin construction. The money for the wall was appropriated by Congress before Biden was president in 2019, and that law required the money must be spent by the end of fiscal 2023, which occurred on Sept. 30. Even in trying to do the bare minimum, Biden is four days late of the law's requirements.
Thanks to current policies, more roads and border walls are undoubtedly needed to help bring a semblance of order back to the southern border. But until Biden’s other border policies are changed, building 20 miles of new barrier between isn’t going to solve anything. This should be obvious, and it is to more and more Democrats. In a moment of honesty, New York City Mayor Eric Adams aide Ingrid Lewis-Martin recently told reporters, “We need the federal government, the Congress members, the Senate, and the president to do its job: Close the borders.”
