President Biden, I believe it’s time to safe america’ southern border (“Rush hour,” Dec. 13).
It has develop into a disaster, and America has misplaced its credibility with the remainder of the world. We're displaying the world we can't maintain our residents, nation and border.
Why don’t you, as president of america of America, go all the way down to the border and converse to the Border Patrol, the landowners, native politicians and law-enforcement officers to essentially perceive the injury that's occurring on our border?
Our southern border shouldn't be safe, regardless of who tells you in any other case.

When Title 42 expires, the border fiasco will attain a calamitous apex of untold proportions.
The ensuing, impending burdens on the schooling, housing and hospital sectors shall be unsustainable and, consequentially, an unparalleled detriment to our economic system as a complete.
As well as, the incalculable human struggling related to these unmitigated migrant surges is despicable.
What makes this absurdity extra revolting is the woefully neglectful and cavalier attitudes Biden and his administration have displayed relative to this colossal debacle.
