Joe Biden recently discussed immigration on the southern border with
the president of Mexico. On Friday, Biden spoke with Andres Manuel Lopez
Obrador to outline his plan to reduce immigration by addressing its
root causes.
Part of the new administration’s goal is to increase “lawful
alternative immigration pathways.” Biden’s efforts includes a drastic
overhaul of President Trump’s immigration policies, including stopping
construction on the southern border wall.
“If President Biden says that a wall is no longer being built, that’s
what he means,” stated the Mexican president. “In four years, zero.”
Meanwhile, Republicans are slamming Biden’s decision to halt progress
on the border wall. Specially, House Minority Leader Kevin McMarthy
(R-Calif.) accused Biden of putting illegal immigrants before
Americans.
“That is why I was disappointed to see within hours of assuming
office, the new administration was more interested in helping illegal
immigrants than helping our own citizens,” stated the Republican leader.
“These are the wrong priorities at the wrong time; Americans need our
help at home and that’s where our focus must remain.”
Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Ariz.) took to Twitter to express her
disappointment in Biden’s executive order, noting the wall helped
prevent human trafficking and strengthened national security.
