Quick Glance: Biden shocks allies with border wall revelation
  • President Biden's decision to proceed with border wall construction has shocked allies and immigration advocates.

  • The administration's participation in the roundtable received praise from CHC members; however, there was no mention of plans to restart border wall construction.

  • A notice posted on the Federal Register on Wednesday waived several environmental and historical protection laws to allow for wall construction in Starr County, Texas, using funds appropriated in 2019 for that purpose.

  • When asked if he believes the border wall works, Biden sighed, 'no.'

Quick Glance: Dutch Government Crisis Exposes Europe's New Migration Politics
  • The collapse of a Dutch coalition government over a proposed refugee policy highlights the significance of immigration as a determinant of European politics.

  • The crisis in the Netherlands was triggered by conservative Prime Minister Mark Rutte, who resigned when his centrist coalition partners refused to support his tough new refugee policy.

  • Recently empowered far-right parties have taken control of the migration narrative, capitalizing on public concerns about national identity. Rutte's unusual and strict policy was seen as an attempt to prevent this, according to analysts.

  • Over the past decade, centrist parties have tried to accommodate conservative voters' tough views on migration while keeping far-right parties at bay. However, the collapse of the Dutch government suggests that this strategy may no longer be effective.
