A recent incident involving a Border Patrol Special Tactical Unit killing a criminal who preys on migrants has sparked discussions about border security and immigration policies. The congressman from Missouri expressed concerns about the current administration's approach to border control, attributing the rise in criminal activities to President Biden's policies. He criticized the executive actions taken by Biden, stating that they have made it easier for migrants to enter the country and have empowered criminal organizations.
There are expectations that President Biden may address these issues during the upcoming State of the Union address. The congressman called for an apology from the president, emphasizing the impact of illegal immigration on American families. He dismissed a bipartisan bill proposed in Congress, arguing that it failed to address the root causes of the border crisis and merely glossed over the issue.
The congressman highlighted the need for stricter border enforcement measures, suggesting that detaining all asylum seekers until their hearings would be a more effective approach. He expressed willingness to take drastic actions, including shutting down the government, to secure the border and address national security concerns.
The discussion also touched on the blame game between Congress and the president regarding the border situation. While some polls indicate that the majority of Americans hold Congress responsible for the issue, the congressman reiterated his commitment to taking decisive action to protect the country's borders.
As the nation awaits President Biden's State of the Union address, the congressman's remarks underscore the ongoing debate surrounding immigration policies and border security. The call for accountability and concrete solutions to address the challenges at the southern border remains a key point of contention in the political landscape.
