President Joe Biden is calling on Republicans to stop “weaponizing” his decision to allow millions of economic migrants to cross the southern border, speaking at a mayor's meeting at the White House on Friday. He emphasized this at the meeting.
“We'll be able to work something out next week, at least in the Senate, and I'm hopeful that it will pass in the Senate as a bipartisan bill,” he told attendees, adding:Now, the question is [House] Speaker and House Republicans: Are they ready to act too? They must choose whether they want to solve the problem or continue to weaponize it to score political points against the president. ”
Over the past three years, Mr. Biden and his delegates have admitted about 5 million illegal immigrants, along with about 3 million legal immigrants. His mass immigration (about one illegal immigrant for every two American births) suppressed American wages and raised housing costs.

Therefore, Biden's mass influx poses major problems for his 2024 re-election campaign. For example, more than half of Americans say his influx constitutes an invasion, according to two polls. In January, a 37% majority recently told CBS that immigrants are “making the economy worse” for the country.

So far, there is no evidence that Biden's lawmakers want to stop illegal labor immigration. For example, media reports say Biden's lawmakers are refusing to curb the flow of migrants through emergency “parole” entry points at the border. Last week's leaks also suggested that the deal would legally authorize significant additional immigration beyond current legal immigration limits.
But Biden Said The mayor and others said, “We want to resolve the issue,'' and said:
I would like to talk about another most important issue: borders.I love it [when my TV is] turned on, [I see that] “Biden supports free and open borders, destroy them.” [the wall], anyone can come, there are no restrictions. ” It used to be a bipartisan issue in this country. We should become one again.
I was clear from the beginning. [immigration] The system is broken. On my first day in office, I delivered to Congress a comprehensive plan for immigration reform. [and amnesty]. My friend on the other side did nothing. I have repeatedly asked for resources to strengthen action at our borders. In October, I asked Congress to add 22,000 additional Border Patrol agents and staff, hundreds of new immigration agents to make decisions in the field, and new detection equipment to stop fentanyl from entering the country. Requested funds. By the way, I've been working with China and Mexico to slow the flow of fentanyl into the United States. It's descending as I speak.
So let me be clear. My team has been at the table in recent weeks with a bipartisan group of senators to negotiate an agreement that includes the border. [legal] Officials, we need to control our borders, and I'm ready to act…I think we'll be able to work something out next week, at least in the Senate, and that it will be a bipartisan package. I hope that, God willing, the Senate will pass it.
Now, the question is [House] Speaker and House Republicans: Are they ready to act too? They must choose whether they want to solve the problem or continue to weaponize it to score political points against the president.
I'm ready to solve the problem. I really am. Massive changes. I sincerely believe so.
