With eight months to go before a likely election rematch, President Joe Biden turned his State of the Union address into a platform to demand that Congress pass a series of measures to 'fix the border,' reminding Congress that Republicans would rather stall progress, as evidenced by their actions last month in which they "killed" the initiative.
Speaking before a Joint Session of Congress on Capitol Hill, Biden criticized alleged actions of former President Donald Trump to block the bill. He accused Trump of operating politically to persuade Republican lawmakers not to support a bipartisan initiative aimed at improving security along the border with Mexico.
