The Issue: President Biden’s efforts at striking a deal with Congress on securing the southern border.
Americans are well aware of President Biden’s mishandling of the southern border (“Joe bid to shift border blame,” Jan. 29).
Of course, Biden tells us he need more agents and judges to enforce immigration law. But Biden does not need new legislation to shut the border down. Reverting back to Trump-era policy would be in the best interests of this country.
The border wall construction ended on Biden’s first day in office. That wall would have reduced the amount of border agents needed by Homeland Security.

It seems that Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas think the American people are idiots.
Now that we are in an election year, suddenly Biden is admitting that we have an immigration problem.
Yes, we do have a problem, thanks to Biden’s open-door policy and Mayorkas’ mismanagement of the border.
Time and again, politicians have had the nerve to stand before the American people and deny that there was a problem. Election time brings out the truth.
If the American people don’t vote these completely inept Democrats out of power, then they will only have themselves to blame.

This is a bad joke (“Panel OKs Mayorkas impeach,” Jan. 31)?
The far-right Republicans in the House have denied the Biden administration the funding to do the job. They are preventing the federal government from accessing the resources to properly enforce immigration at the southern border. House Republicans are entirely at fault.

Biden speaks the truth when he says he’s done all he can do (“I’ve done all I can do,” Jan. 31)
He now claims that he needs the Republicans to work with him on the border issue because he lacks the power.
As I remember, Joe never sought any input from Congress when he dismantled Trump’s border policy or when he undid various laws implemented by Trump’s administration. Now he needs Congress’ help?

The Issue: NYU prof’s suspension following false claims about Hamas violence captured on video.
agree with The Post that Amin Husain’s New School talk was unquestionably vile and antisemitic and deserves to be called out (“Why Was This Guy Hired?” Editorial, Jan. 26).
I’ve always thought that actions speak louder than words, so I assumed that NYU’s suspension of Husain would clearly convey NYU’s position: Such abhorrent and antisemitic language has no place at NYU and will not be tolerated.
Where I disagree with The Post is in portraying NYU as the problem.
NYU condemned Hamas’ terrorist violence, suspended members of our community whose conduct broke our rules, rejected calls for boycotts and closing our Tel Aviv site and established a new Center for the Study of Antisemitism.
All of those actions have been critical to enabling NYU to act in the best tradition of American higher education — to enable learning and scholarship, and to encourage constructive dialogue.

The wonder is not that Husain was hired, but that he was finally fired.
NYU is just trying to cover its rear end. Institutions like NYU lost their way decades ago. Getting rid of one hateful rape-denying adjunct is only scratching the surface.
