Making a border wall was a very important policy of Donald Trump when he was president. Democrats strongly disagreed with it.
In 2020, Mr Biden said he would not construct any more wall if he won the election.

In a statement to Associated News on Wednesday night, the US Customs and Border Protection explained that they are using funds that were already set aside for a border barrier.
The Congress gave money for building a border wall in the Rio Grande Valley. The Department of Homeland Security must use that money for building the wall as intended.
The president is very worried because there are more and more people crossing the border illegally, and this is a big problem.

Many cities in the US are saying that they are struggling because of the increase in people coming in.
The Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, said that it will cost $12 billion in the next three years to provide housing for over 100,000 new people who have come to the city since last year.
This week, Mr. Adams is going to Mexico, Colombia, and Ecuador. He wants to convince people not to leave their countries to go to other places. “We don’t have any more room,” he said on Tuesday.
