Remind me again how many tanks were involved in the attacks of 9/11.  Mexico is not a threat, nor has it ever been one.  Terrorists don't use tanks, and with an open border, we have no way of knowing how many may have already entered the country.  That is a threat to national security, a threat that Biden and most of the Democrats have ignored, sacrificing our safety as they pander for votes.

The border was never "open".  There are degrees of openness.  The 9-11 terrorists all had legit visas.  They came to the US by plane. These hypothetical new terrorists could sneak in from the Canadian border too, you know.
What are you trying to argue for?
That Biden should build a wall? Across which border?
Or are you arguing that he should use emergency powers to do something else at the border? What, and why?
