Democratic Senator Bob Menendez called President Biden's plan to send 1,500 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border 'unacceptable,' arguing the move signals that migrants are a military threat.
Immigrants keep warm by a fire at dawn after spending a night alongside the U.S.-Mexico border fence on December 22, 2022 in El Paso, Texas. A spike in the number of migrants crossing over to seek asylum in the United States has challenged local, state and federal authorities. The numbers are expected to increase as the fate of the Title 42 authority to expel migrants remains in limbo pending a Supreme Court decision expected after Christmas.
"As you know, on the first day of walking into the White House of his administration, the president put forth a comprehensive immigration legislation and so that we could have resources and so that we could be able to help the men and women of Border Patrol to do their jobs," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said."And so if Congress would act and again, do their jobs and meet us halfway and do this in a bipartisan way, we would not have to do this.
