Biden said, “We have — we can do more than merely just make legal immigration more streamlined. But we can also do it by preventing people from wanting to have to leave in the first place, by helping their communities, in fact, better their circumstances. And so, I — I hope — you know, and, by the way, my proposals are supported by the Chamber of Commerce, by the American labor movement, not — I mean, which is an unusual coalition — and a whole range of people. The point here is that my Republican friends in Congress should join us in the solutions.”

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.
