America’s Biden administration is facing criticism over its migration policy. Now taken an important U-turn at the policy level to stop infiltration from the Mexico border.
The Biden administration’s Home Office has underlined the urgent need to build a section of the wall in South Texas to stop the rising levels of illegal migration from Texas.
This border of about 32 km will be constructed in Starr County on the border with Mexico, where a huge increase in infiltration has been recorded in the past few days.
According to the department’s data, so far in this financial year, about 2 lakh 45 thousand immigrants without documents have entered from this area.
To ensure that the rapid construction of this wall is not hindered, permission has been given to bypass 26 federal laws such as the Endangered Species Act, Clean Water Act, etc.
Biden on Trump’s path to stop infiltration
The executive order issued by the Biden administration states:
“There is an urgent need for the rapid construction of physical barriers (wall) and roads along the US border to prevent the entry of immigrants without documents into the project areas”.
Such orders with wide impact were issued during Trump’s tenure.
Now for the first time during Biden’s tenure, these orders are been used.
It is noteworthy that before the elections, President Joe Biden had been saying that he would not build a wall on the Mexico border. Not only this, even after assuming office, the Biden administration had announced that construction of a wall on the southern border is not a serious policy solution to the problem.
But seeing the U-turn of the Biden administration, now former President Donald Trump is the attacker.
An 80 km wall was built along the southern border and barriers on the remaining 643 km were improved during the previous administration.
“Biden is responsible for creating a crisis in front of the nation by repealing my strict border policies. President Biden is responsible for creating an infiltration crisis in front of the nation. They had to do all the work we were doing”.
– Donald Trump, former President, of America
