Over the last several years, the quality of life within the United States has markedly deteriorated. While it is no secret that the American middle class has been slowly shrinking for decades, the governing decisions made by President Joe Biden and his administration following his victory during the 2020 election and his commencement of service in January of 2021 have further exacerbated this decline. Biden and congressional politicians from both parties wholly supported massive spending packages that were authorized early in Biden’s term and brought about trillions of dollars in federal spending and inflation that followed with it. Now, 6 out of every 10 American citizens are living paycheck to paycheck, and the cost of living has skyrocketed.
Biden’s biggest mistake has been at the southern border. Millions of illegals have entered the nation in just three years. Tens of thousands continue to enter by the day, and the federal government appears unable to mitigate the effects of this migration or properly address the issue. The national security of the nation is at a serious risk. This unsustainable pattern of migration also largely has contributed to the poor state of the middle class, as they provide cheap, unskilled labor sources for businesses and help to keep wages stagnant. Recently, the U.S. Head of the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas blamed Texas Governor Greg Abbot for “refusing to cooperate” with Mayors of major leftist cities in the country. Abbot has been having busloads of migrants sent to the cities in protest of the progressive immigration policies that continue to help this crisis to worsen.
As the crisis at the southern border continues to worsen, many progressives can no longer deny that the border crisis must be addressed. After President Biden entered the oval office and began dismantling the border barrier Trump had begun constructing, he also paused construction. Many leftists now believe a wall may be necessary for security.
