Granted the current admin would just cut holes on the wall. Needs to be 3 foot thick reinforced concrete and 50' high.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who narrowly escaped impeachment last week, said Sunday that the Biden administration doesn't "bear responsibility for a broken system," demanding Congress enact legislation to mitigate what has become an illegal migration crisis during this election year.
"No doubt there is gridlock in Congress. But do you bear responsibility for what is happening at the border with the president himself? It's called a crisis," NBC host Kristen Welker asked during an interview with Mayorkas on "Meet the Press."
"It certainly is a crisis. And we don't bear responsibility for a broken system. And we're doing a tremendous amount within that broken system. But fundamentally … Congress is the only one who can fix it," Mayorkas said.
"There is no question that we have a broken system," he added. "There is no question that we have a challenge, a crisis at the border. And there is no question that Congress needs to fix it. And we're doing everything we can within that broken system, short of legislation to address what is a not just a challenge for the United States but one throughout our region."
Since Mayorkas took the helm at the Department of Homeland Security three years ago, Welker noted, the asylum case backlog has more than tripled since 2019 and more migrants have crossed the border illegally in 2023 than ever before. She pointed to how Mayorkas himself has said that more than 85% of migrants crossing the border illegally are being released into the U.S. as they await their court dates.
"Let's just put impeachment aside for a minute. Why do you deserve to keep your job, Mr. Secretary?" she asked.

More damn lies frim this a$$hat!
Impeach the SOB...NOW!
He’s been saying the same th6for 3 and a half years. Nothing new.
As I understand, it is illegal for people to cross the border like that. I also understand it is his job to enforce the laws. What is there for Congress to do? Do your job. Enforce the law. Close the border. What is so hard about that?
Were they sent home after the war?
Lock
Him

All of a sudden it’s a crisis??!!? 🤬
I, for one, do not feel safe with that creep as head of Homeland Security.
The dem mayors are only enabling the situation by providing services for the illegals.
The blame is not ALL on Congress. The mayors are encouraging them to stay by providing for them. The president could also order the border closed and illegals deported on contact as soon as caught. Detain them and send them back by the planeful ASAP. It would be far cheaper than what we’re doing now.
Congress passed the laws to fix this long ago.
GENERATIONS of politicians have ignored and perverted the laws for their own benefit, and to the detriment of taxpaying citizens since then.
These people need to stop yakking about immigration reform, new laws, etc. All that has to happen is for Biden to put Trump’s policies back in action. The Stupid Party fails to point this out to these worthless, corrupt lawmakers and the uninformed, dumbed-down American public.
