Biden backtracks on another campaign promise while DHS changes stance on need for border wall!

During his presidential campaign, Joe Biden made a promise not to build a border wall, a pledge that garnered attention. However, upon assuming office, President Biden attempted unsuccessfully to reallocate funds that Congress had initially designated for purposes other than a border wall. This move stirred controversy, as many Americans and members of Congress were in favor of building a border wall with the funds that had already been appropriated prior to his presidency.

Despite President Biden's initial stance against a border wall, Congress maintained its support for the project, leaving him with no choice but to proceed with the construction. In both 2022 and 2023, there were record-high numbers of illegal border crossings, with the record set in 2022 surpassed in 2023. This situation has raised concerns and led to criticisms of President Biden's border security efforts, given the backdrop of Congress's appropriation of funds for the border wall before his term began.

Amid these challenges, the Biden administration has faced additional issues, including soaring inflation rates, high gas prices, and increasing living costs. These economic pressures have added to the discontent among those who had originally supported the border wall and have intensified the scrutiny of President Biden's handling of these matters.
