In 2020, Biden promised there would “not be another foot of wall constructed” in his administration. In 2021, Karine Jean-Pierre said a border wall “doesn’t work” and “is not an effective policy.”
Amid the worst border crisis in American history, they’re suddenly singing a different tune.
BIDEN (2020): "There will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration!"

After a staggering 7.5+ million illegal border crossings since Biden took office, the Biden administration has suddenly declared an “immediate need” for miles of new border wall in south Texas.
Why the about-face? Politics.
Biden’s approval rating on the southern border is just 23 percent and voters say he’s “ignoring” the crisis. Meanwhile, an overwhelming majority trust Republicans to do a better job on one of this election’s most important issues. Biden is also feeling intense pressure from Democrat mayors and governors in blue cities and states, whose taxpaying residents are FED UP with the flood of illegal immigrants — and drain on public services — in their own backyards.
The reality is Biden created an unprecedented humanitarian disaster at the southern border — and now he’s scrambling so voters won’t blame him.
It won’t end well. “Open borders” is in Democrats’ DNA.
