How Biden’s Promises to Reverse Trump’s Immigration Policies Crumbled
Bedding for asylum seekers temporarily housed at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago on Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2023. President Joe Biden’s handling of immigration has become one of his biggest potential liabilities, with polls showing deep dissatisfaction among voters about how he deals with the new arrivals.
The funds for the wall had been approved by Congress during Trump’s tenure, and on Friday, the president said he had no power to block their use. “It doesn’t help this administration politically, to continue policies that they were very clear they were against,” said Vanessa Cárdenas, executive director of America’s Voice, an immigrant rights organization. “That muddles the message and undermines the contrast that they’re trying to make when it comes to Republicans.”
In comments to reporters at an event opposing book banning, Pritzker said that he had recently “spoken with the White House” on the matter “to make sure that they heard us.” The president and his aides have responded to the increased number of migrants by calling for more Border Patrol agents. Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, bragged on Wednesday about the surge in border enforcement that Biden has pushed for.
Ben LaBolt, the White House communications director, said Biden proposed an immigration overhaul on his first day in office that he noted has been blocked by Republican lawmakers. In a notice published in the Federal Register on Thursday, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said that easing environmental and other laws was necessary to expedite construction of sections of a border wall in South Texas, where thousands of migrants have been crossing the Rio Grande daily to reach U.S. soil.
