#shorts On 1/10/2023, Joe Biden delivered remarks with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Mexico City. Biden said, “And so, what we found out — and not just in my visit to El Paso, but before that — we found out is that our Republican friends and some — a few Democrats — they were very critical of what’s going on at the border but yet refuse even look at the detail document I submitted for the Congress to consider to reform the process completely.”

“And so we’re trying to make it easier for people to get here, opening up the capacity to get here, but not have them go through that godawful process. And we’re going to continue our efforts to address the root causes of migration to help people stay in their home countries. I’ve asked the Congress for $4 billion to provide for that.”

Biden did not make border security part of his 2020 campaign. In fact, the then-candidate was adamant he was against the physical barriers on the country’s border with Mexico. Biden presided over a record-smashing nearly 2.4 million border-crossing arrests in fiscal 2022, which ended Sept. 30. The figures from October and November show illegal border-crossings are up 40% and 34%, respectively, over the same months in 2021. Biden made his first visit to the US-Mexico border as president on Sunday but drew criticism because he didn’t interact with migrants after El Paso officials cleaned up.
