For the past four years, there has been a significant immigration crisis at the southern border of the United States. The federal government has been criticized for not enforcing border control effectively during this period.

President Donald J. Trump initially declared a national emergency at the Southern Border on February 15, 2019. This declaration was extended on February 13, 2020, as part of efforts to address ongoing challenges related to immigration and border security.

The current situation is described as dire, prompting calls for renewed governmental action to manage the border more effectively.
