Salazar: Biden woke up too late on border crisis, pushes Borderlands Platform

Former U.S. ambassador to Mexico and ex-Interior Secretary Ken Salazar says the Biden administration woke up too late to address the border crisis, criticizing its neglect of Mexico and the Western Hemisphere, lack of urgency, planning, and a coherent communications strategy. He argues this allowed Trump to capitalize on the issue and outlines a Borderlands Platform—advocating a border/migration czar and a New American Alliance with Mexico and Canada, plus renewed USMCA—to treat immigration as both a national security and economic priority.
