During the State of the Union (SOTU) address, President Biden emphasized the urgency of addressing border security, urging Congress to pass the bipartisan border security bill currently stalled. He highlighted that the bill represents the most comprehensive set of border security reforms in U.S. history. Biden criticized former President Trump for undermining a bipartisan Senate deal, which contributed to the current impasse. The President's call to action was echoed by various stakeholders, including House Democrats and Texas Democrats, who rallied support for the legislation at the SOTU24. The situation underscores a critical moment for U.S. immigration policy and the administration's efforts to navigate a politically charged issue.
Biden once again used tonight’s SOTU speech to chide Republicans — and Trump — for the collapse of the bipartisan border deal. He urged lawmakers to send him the bill “now” as the crisis remains a lingering challenge for the White House. https://t.co/l60SLwenCS
