Biden immigration policies have created 'disorder at the border,' GOP lawmakers say

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and other GOP lawmakers called on President Biden to admit fault and work to reverse changes to immigration policies that they said have caused a dangerous surge in migrants at the southern border.

"This is where he should bring Air Force One. This is where he should look the people in the eye," McCarthy said. "This is where he should talk to the border agents and let them know that this is beyond a crisis. He can continue to deny it, but the only way to solve it is to first admit what he has done. If he will not reverse action, it will take congressional action to do it." U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported encounters with more than 100,000 migrants in February alone, stretching capacity at border facilities and requiring the diversion of CBP personnel from other checkpoints. The number of migrant children in custody at border facilities tripled to more than 3,250 in recent weeks, with many held longer than allowed under existing immigration law.
