The vice president's comments come just weeks after President Joe Biden said there are "more important things going on" than visiting the border amid a record surge in illegal immigration. Many Republican lawmakers blame Biden's policies, including attempting to repeal Title 42, a Trump-era rule that lowers the number of asylum seekers permitted into the United States due to the pandemic, as contributing to the surge
Republican governors have tried to compensate for the lack of federal support.
- Texas governor Greg Abbott (R) is resuming wall construction and has deployed 400 National Guard members to help with the border crisis
- Arizona governor Doug Ducey has installed hundreds of shipping containers along his state's border
