Neither aides in the Harris campaign nor the Biden White House would commit to another joint campaign event between now and the election. President Joe Biden speaks during a news conference in the Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House on October 4, 2024. “Joe Biden has delivered a whole lot for Pennsylvania — especially when it comes to infrastructure, energy jobs. “I don’t think president and the vice president are going to be exactly the same on every issue. “The president is all in to help get the vice president elected,” the senior adviser said.

When President Joe Biden took office, he immediately halted border wall construction. “Vice President Harris believes in tough, smart solutions to secure the border, keep communities safe, and reform our broken immigration system,” Ehrenberg said. The border bill would have provided 1,500 more border personnel, upgraded technology and kicked off the “immediate resumption” of the border wall construction that was underway in 2021, according to its text. Del Cueto’s union supported the bipartisan border bill that is the basis for Harris’ border plan. “What I would say to Vice President Harris is she’s been there for 3 1/2 years.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of arrests for illegally crossing the U.S. southern border with Mexico nudged upward February over the previous month. But at a time when immigration is increasingly a concern for voters, the numbers were still among the lowest of Joe Biden's presidency. According to figures from Customs and Border Protection, Border Patrol agents made 140,644 arrests of people attempting to enter the country between the legal border crossing points during February. The numbers come after a December that saw the Border Patrol tally 249,785 arrests — a record high that increased tensions over immigration — before plunging in January. Separately, 42,100 migrants used an app called CBP One to schedule an appointment to present themselves at an official border crossing point to seek entry into the United States.

The Biden administration also allowed nearly 500,000 Venezuelan migrants who are already in the country to seek work permits and protection from deportation. The administration yielded to pressure from leaders in New York, where the recent arrival of more than 100,000 migrants in New York City has overwhelmed shelters and strained resources. Migrants like Mr. Soto and his mother are arriving on a tailwind of stories of friends and relatives who reached New York or Chicago months earlier. Many also believe false claims from smugglers and social media that migrants would definitely be able to remain in the United States if they could make it in. “The smuggling organizations are spreading misinformation with a global reach that they couldn’t do before,” said John Modlin, the Border Patrol’s Tucson sector chief, who is coordinating the response to border crossings in Arizona and California.

But posts on social media read: “The Biden administration welded open the Trump border wall in Tucson, AZ. The floodgates, however, open seasonally and predate the Biden administration. The Tucson Sector of the wall runs through most of the state of Arizona (here). A January 2020 article by the Washington Post, published almost a year before Joe Biden became president, shows floodgates had been opened for monsoon season during the Trump administration (here). Border Patrol agents have opened them during monsoon season since before Biden became president.
