During his presidential campaign, Biden strongly criticized Trump’s immigration policies, particularly the construction of the border wall, viewing it as divisive and ineffective. However, a significant surge in migration from Central America has complicated the issue. This surge has forced Biden to grapple with record numbers of migrants, prompting him to adopt some of Trump’s anti-immigration strategies. Surprisingly, this includes allowing the construction of an additional 20 miles of border wall in Texas, an action that was once vehemently opposed by Biden and Democrats. The funds for this wall had been previously approved by Congress during Trump’s presidency, and Biden now claims he lacks the authority to prevent their use. This marks a significant shift in Biden’s approach to immigration.
