Trump urges a return to his policies as Biden acknowledges country’s invasion. DHS bypasses laws to construct border wall.
Former President Donald Trump Slams Biden Administration for Border Wall Flip-Flop
In a surprising turn of events, the Biden administration has echoed one of former President Donald Trump’s signature policies by emphasizing the “immediate need” to construct a wall along the southern border. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently announced the waiving of dozens of federal laws to build a border wall in Texas, citing an “acute and immediate need.” Trump, speaking to Fox News, suggested that Biden’s change of heart is due to finally recognizing the reality of the crisis at the border.
According to the former president, Biden now sees that our country is being invaded. Trump questioned what the administration plans to do about the millions of people who have already entered the country, including those from prisons, mental institutions, insane asylums, and even terrorists.
Trump emphasized the importance of returning to his policies to address the border crisis. He called for the reinstatement of “Remain in Mexico” and “Title 42,” along with other measures that were implemented during his presidency.
To combat the surge in illegal entry, Mayorkas stated that he is waiving 26 federal laws to construct a border wall in Starr County, Texas. This area, known as the Rio Grande Valley Sector, has already seen over 245,000 migrant encounters in this fiscal year alone. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary justified the need to waive certain laws and regulations to prevent unlawful entries into the United States.
Shortly after taking office, Biden halted construction of the border wall, despite promising during his campaign that there would be no further construction. He criticized Trump’s wall as a “misplaced priority” and a failure to manage migration in a safe and humane way.
The president is now facing pressure, even from within his own party, to address the border crisis and stem the flow of illegal immigrants into the country. Daily illegal border crossings have reached record highs, overwhelming border facilities and leading to the mass release of illegal immigrants into the interior of the United States. The strain at the border is being felt by communities from small border towns to major cities.

During the Trump administration, significant progress was made in border wall construction. Over 85 miles of new border wall were built in locations where no barriers previously existed, and 373 miles of outdated designs were replaced.
Trump’s campaign celebrated Mayorkas’ announcement, claiming that “President Trump is always right.” They highlighted the nearly 500 miles of powerful new wall that would have been completed by now if not for Biden’s policy changes. The campaign spokesperson criticized Biden for turning the country into a sanctuary for dangerous criminal aliens.
How do supporters of the Biden administration justify the waiver of laws and the construction of the border wall in Texas in the context of the evolving situation at the border
37 environmental, public health, and safety laws to expedite the construction of the border wall in Texas. This decision has sparked controversy and backlash from environmentalists and advocates for immigrant rights, who argue that the waiver undermines environmental protection and human rights.
Critics of Biden’s border wall flip-flop argue that it exposes the administration’s inconsistency and lack of a clear immigration strategy. They claim that Biden’s initial decision to halt construction of the wall was simply a political move to distance himself from Trump’s policies without considering the practical implications. By now endorsing the construction of the wall, Biden appears to be capitulating to political pressure rather than making decisions based on comprehensive immigration reform.
However, supporters of the Biden administration argue that the situation at the border has evolved since Trump’s presidency, necessitating a more nuanced approach. They point to the record number of unaccompanied minors and families attempting to cross the border, overwhelming immigration facilities and resources. They argue that waiving certain laws is a necessary step to address the urgent humanitarian crisis at hand.
While the construction of the border wall remains a contentious issue, it is clear that both the Trump and Biden administrations acknowledge the challenges posed by illegal immigration. However, their approaches and rhetoric differ significantly. Trump’s “tough on immigration” stance was centered around deterrence and physical barriers, whereas Biden’s focus is on addressing the root causes of migration and creating a more humane immigration system.
As the Biden administration continues to navigate the complexities of immigration policy, it is crucial that they strike a balance between security and compassion. The construction of the border wall, while divisive, should not be the sole solution to the immigration challenges facing the United States. Instead, efforts should be directed towards comprehensive immigration reform, addressing the underlying causes of migration, and creating a fair and efficient asylum process.
In conclusion, the Biden administration’s decision to waive laws and endorse the construction of a border wall reflects a change in approach compared to their initial stance. Former President Donald Trump, while criticizing Biden’s flip-flop, contends that it is an acknowledgment of the crisis at the border. The debate surrounding the border wall and immigration policy highlights the complexities of the issue and the need for comprehensive and compassionate solutions. As the situation evolves, it is crucial for the Biden administration to implement policy measures that prioritize both border security and the protection of human rights.
