‘Huge issue’: Joe Biden ‘feeling more pressure’ on illegal immigration

Sky News Washington Correspondent Annelise Nielsen says the Biden administration is “feeling more pressure” on the “huge issue” of illegal immigration at the southern border. According to US Customs and Border Protection, over 2.56 million people illegally crossed the border in the 12 months to the end of January. Biden delivered his third State of the Union address on Thursday (local time). “He certainly brought the energy, and a few stumbles in an hour speech not to be unexpected,” Ms Nielsen said. “I think this will come up again as this huge issue that’s been very much in the Republican strength about the issues at the southern border. “You can see that the Biden administration is feeling more pressure on this. “We’ve had Joe Biden go to the southern border, but I don’t think that was covered off well in that speech at all.”
