(SERGIO FLORES\/AFP via Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>According to local officials in the border city of Rio Grande City, Texas, migrants are overwhelming the small community. Mayor of Rio Grande City, Joel Villarreal, said in a June interview that ineffective leadership is to blame for the migrant influx.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe truly have not had a true comprehensive immigration plan or reform. We haven\u2019t had it,\u201d stressed the mayor. \u201cWhether it\u2019s Republicans in power or Democrats in power, that has not occurred.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Rio Grande Valley is particularly susceptible to illegal border crossings due to open gaps in the border wall. During his recent visit to the southern border, President Trump slammed Biden for not continuing to build the border wall.<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Villarreal said it\u2019s time for Americans to finally address the immigration issue and stop \u201ckicking the can down the road.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/mcconnell-gop-will-put-up-hell-of-fight-if-dems-use-reconciliation-to-pass-infrastructure-bill\/\">McConnell: GOP Will Put Up \u2018Hell Of Fight\u2019 If Dems Use Reconciliation To Pass Infrastructure Bill<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A migrant family watches the sunset while waiting to be accounted for and taken to a border patrol processing facility after crossing the Rio Grande into the U.S. on June &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2314198,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/trumppppp-654x437-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Local officials: Unfinished border wall allows illegal immigrants to enter U.S. easily","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-585466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/trumppppp-654x437-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"Local officials: Unfinished border wall allows illegal immigrants to enter U.S. easily","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=585466"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585466\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2314198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=585466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=585466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=585466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
