Biden
President Joe Biden.
  • Biden continues to struggle with voters over his handling of immigration at the US-Mexico border. 
  • A new Washington Post-ABC News poll showed that 62% disapproved of his efforts on the issue.
  • Biden's relationship with NYC Mayor Eric Adams has noticeably cooled as the city struggles to house migrants.

Throughout his presidency, Joe Biden has grappled with the surge of immigrants at the US-Mexico border, with members of both parties seeking divergent solutions to the crisis.

Former President Donald Trump has long advocated for a border wall, and Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas has bused migrants to Democratic-led Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York to protest what conservatives have long said are the outsized costs that border states have had to shoulder in addressing illegal immigration.
