"Biden Acknowledges Insecurity at US Southern Border, Calls for Massive Changes"

President Biden admits that the US southern border is not secure, stating that he has been requesting funding for the past 10 years. He defended his policies and expressed confusion over House Republicans' push to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Biden denied that his policies have contributed to the border crisis, despite facing criticism for his handling of the unprecedented levels of illegal immigrant crossings. U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported a record-high 300,000 migrant encounters in December 2023.
