TL;DR Summary

The Biden administration has announced plans to build up to 20 miles of border barriers in Texas's Rio Grande Valley, despite President Biden's previous pledge not to build any more border wall. The administration claims that it is obligated to build this section of the wall because Congress had already appropriated the funding in 2019. Border Patrol agents have made over two million arrests at the southwest border this year, with a significant number of arrests in the Rio Grande Valley. Critics argue that a wall is not an effective solution to border security and that it is expensive and dangerous.
