Border Bill Falters: Biden and Trump Trade Blame

President Biden and former President Trump are blaming each other for the stalling of a bipartisan immigration bill aimed at addressing the record-setting pace of undocumented immigrants at the southern US border. The bill, which includes funding for border wall construction and measures to fast-track asylum cases, faces mounting opposition in the Senate after being rejected by House Republicans. Biden accused Trump of lobbying Republicans to torpedo the proposal, while Trump's campaign criticized Biden's policies and claimed that Trump's actions had created the most secure border in American history. The bill is expected to face challenges in both the Senate and the House, drawing criticism from immigration activists who feel that the Biden administration is not fulfilling its campaign promises.
