Joe Biden: Border Curbs Needed to Save ‘Nation of Immigrants’ Claim
by NEIL MUNRO 4 Jun 2024
President Joe Biden says his claimed border shutdown is needed to address shrinking support for migration and to preserve the 1950s narrative that America is a “Nation of Immigrants.”
Some limits are needed to muffle the rising public opposition to migration that has been captured by President Donald Trump, Biden warned his pro-migration political allies in a statement at the White House on Tuesday:
We must face the simple truth. To protect America as a land that welcomes immigrants, I must first secure the border and secure it now … if the United States doesn’t secure our border, there’s no limit to the number of people who may try to come here because there’s no better place on the planet than the United States of America.
For those who say the steps I’ve taken are too strict. I say to you: Be patient. The goodwill of the American people is wearing thin right now. Doing nothing is not an option. We have to act. We must act consistent with both our law and our values …
We take the steps today, not to walk away from who we are as Americans [but] to make sure we preserve who we are for future generations to come.
