Susana Martinez warned Tuesday that it is "very wrong" for the Biden administration to halt the construction of the southern border wall, calling the fence a "piece of the security of our nation.".
"We're certainly going to have the same problems that we did at the very beginning of President Trump's administration," Martinez told "America's Newsroom." "There was not enough wall, there weren't enough tools to make sure our borders were protected.".
President Biden last week signed an executive order that ends the construction of the wall at the southern border and issued a 100-day "pause" on deportations of illegal immigrants.
SUSANA MARTINEZ: We'll have the same problems we did at the very beginning of President Trump's administration where there was not enough wall, there weren't enough tools to make sure that our borders were protected.
The fence was a piece of the security of our nation.
I think it is very wrong to bring a halt to the construction of that border because of the thousands and thousands of people that are being invited to come to the United States to become citizens of the United States..?
I know the people who are already charging people from Honduras, El Salvador, charging them to bring them to the U.S
