MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
But with tens of thousands of migrants now attempting to settle in blue states and cities around the country, the ground has shifted in the national immigration debate, with Democrats increasingly calling on President Joe Biden to take action on the border.
Late Wednesday, the Biden administration took an extraordinary step of waiving a slew of environmental laws to move forward with construction of a roughly 20-mile stretch of new border wall in southern Texas.
Though the White House says the decision to move forward with new border wall construction was not tied to calls for action from blue state governors, it comes after their agitation grew to a crescendo.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, has lashed out at the Biden administration and the Department of Homeland Security, which in turn criticized his handling as “not an operationally sound effort.”
For its part, the White House has said that it’s deployed 800 new active-duty military personnel to increase enforcement at the border, as well as recently granting Temporary Protected Status to Venezuelan migrants who arrived before July 31, allowing them easier access to work permits.
In an interview, Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas — who has long accused the federal government for not paying enough attention to border communities — said Democratic officials in northern cities like New York and Chicago had underestimated the problem that migrant influxes pose.
