Border Crisis
Mayorkas to Build More Miles of Border Wall
President Donald Trump has left numerous gaps open since 2021, but President Joe Biden's pro-immigration border commander claims he will build several more miles of wall to keep migrants away.
The additional border kilometers are not meant to deter job-seeking economic migrants. Instead, Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security and a native of Cuba, is urging migrants to register in a secure manner at the authorized border crossing points in order to be swiftly integrated into American society.
When the extra walls will be constructed is unclear. Democrats may exploit footage of the building, nevertheless, in the elections of 2024.
The government's Federal Register of Regulations published the following plans on Wednesday from Mayorkas' Department of Homeland Security:
“There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project areas pursuant to sections 102(a) and 102(b) of IIRIRA.”
The short gaps are listed in the six-page paper, but the entire length of the wall that needs to be built is not specified.
According to the letter, funds allocated by Congress to Trump in 2019 would be used to fix the funding shortfalls.
Mayorkas has the legal right and resources to erect miles of wall. Instead, he has permitted over 5 million rent-hiking, wage-cutting migrants to sneak, fly, or walk across the border since January 2021. For instance, media reports from September claimed that he permitted at least 260,000 migrants to cross the border.
Employers in the United States can use Mayorkas' migrants to replace undesirable older and sicker workers, parents with children, or Americans with a history of criminal activity or drug addiction.
