Since then, President Biden has failed the American people repeatedly through his inaction. Members from both sides of the aisle have traveled to the border, spoken with migrants and border security agents, and developed a plan. We have listened to the American people, and we are putting our plan in action with this legislation,\" Guest said.\n\nResuming border wall construction is one of the five pillars of the Republicans' plan to address the Biden border crisis. The others include reinstating the Remain in Mexico Policy, protecting Title 42, requiring a negative COVID test from migrants, and adopting clear messaging to discourage illegal immigration.\n\nIf adopted, the Finish the Wall Act would:\n\nImmediately resume border wall system construction;\n\nProhibit cancellations of border wall system construction contract in place; and\n\nRequire allotted funds be spent on construction of the border wall system.\n\nRead the full text here.\n\nCongressman Michael Guest represents Mississippi's Third Congressional District.
