One of the current problems the country is facing that was severely lacking from Biden's speech was the ongoing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. It's no surprise why Biden did not want to talk about the situation in-depth because his administration's open border policies and rhetoric have been one of the major contributing factors to the current surge of illegal immigration.
