President Joe Biden's administration has taken steps to address the ongoing issue of record migrant crossings from Mexico by adding sections to the existing border wall. This move, aimed at curbing unlawful immigration, represents a continuation of the policies implemented by former President Donald Trump.

When President Biden assumed office, he issued a proclamation outlining his stance on the border wall construction, emphasizing that no further taxpayer funds would be directed towards it. Nevertheless, given that the allocated funds from the previous administration were required to be spent promptly, this recent action aligns with the president's earlier commitment.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas clarified that this decision does not signify a new administration policy concerning border walls. Since the beginning of President Biden's term, it has been abundantly clear that a border wall is not the ultimate solution to addressing immigration challenges.

The construction project was initiated during the prior administration, and the law compels the use of the allocated funds, as mandated by a previous announcement. While the Mexican President, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, considers this move a step backward, it demonstrates the administration's accountability towards fulfilling legal obligations.

With the impending U.S. presidential race, immigration is likely to remain a central theme, particularly as a majority - 54% - of Americans believe that immigration is placing additional burdens on native-born citizens.
