After years of the Republican Party dominating the immigration conversation, President Joe Biden urged Congress to help secure the nation’s southern border with Mexico.
“If you won’t pass my comprehensive immigration reform, at least pass my plan to provide the equipment and officers to secure the border,” he said last week during his State of the Union address, adding that he also wants “a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers, those on temporary status, farm workers, and essential workers.”
“America’s border problems won’t be fixed until Congress acts,” he said.
