The Issue: President Biden’s comments about the lack of security at the southern border.
President Biden says his administration needs more funding — and Congress’s help — to solve the southern border problem (“Joe: border insecure,” Jan. 20).
But a change in policy via executive order would be a better course of action.
Biden’s border overhaul should include hiring more Border Patrol agents, finishing the wall and increasing deportation efforts.
That might prove to Republican lawmakers that he is serious about the border.
Sadly, I fear these measures will not come to pass, and the influx of migrants entering our country will only continue.

Now Biden wants to fix the problem? If by some miracle border security is improved, Biden deserves no credit.
And it sure looks like Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas will be taking the fall soon.

Biden finally announced that the border is not secure.
After three years of terrible border security and the absorption of nearly 8 million migrants, Biden has called for extensive changes to his immigration policy.
It’s like he watched his house catch fire, but waited until it had fully burned down before calling the fire department.

It is discouraging to read Miranda Devine’s piece on President Biden’s border talk (“Biden’s border blather is late in the game,” Jan. 22).
Joe’s rhetoric on migration is misleading.
I thought Bill Clinton was a big fibber, though he was surpassed by Barack Obama.
Biden outshines them all.
He’s been at it now for 50 years — and it feels like he’s no longer held responsible for his comments on border security.
He has effectively invited migrants into the country. It is hard to make a rational case for such policy to be considered “tough on the border.”
Biden’s lies are not a side effect of dementia.
He is simply exercising the license that the leftist media has allowed him.
It’s a disgrace.
But he’s just not clever enough to fool us.

The Issue: TSA allowing migrants without official ID to present alternative documents at airports.
Days after The Post reported Biden’s admission that the border was not secure, it broke a story on migrants not needing ID to board planes for domestic travel (“No ID, no problem,” Jan. 24).
If the border is not secure and identification is not required for non-citizens to travel, then it would seem that nowhere in the country is secure.
Many of these migrants come from countries that hold anti-American sentiments.
If they want to travel, they should have to at least present valid ID.

My question regarding these migrants: Were they also handed voter registration cards at TSA?
Perhaps with the ballots already filled out?
One wonders . . .

I read with utter dismay The Post article about some migrants not having to show proper ID at the airport.
The Biden administration treats these migrants so much better than American citizens.
I need to have my ID on hand to buy beer, but they get to waltz through TSA without a driver’s license?
They get food, shelter, education and health care on the taxpayer’s dime.
Meanwhile, the cost of living has shot up in recent years due to inflation.
This open border spells disaster and is a bane on the American checkbook: a complete slap in the face of every citizen, born here or naturalized.
Shame on you, Joe.
