Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna rips GOP border bill as ‘extreme,’ claims Biden ‘doing everything he can’

Rep. Ro Khanna defended President Biden, claiming Congress hasn't given the White House enough resources to secure the border, and a GOP bill is "extreme."
"Nothing has gotten done since President Reagan signed by bipartisan immigration reform in 1986. And instead of throwing fingers at each other, why don't we come together on some common principles?" Khanna said to host Shannon Bream, rejecting the idea that this is new problem. "We need a safe and secure border, and we need an orderly and humane process. That means Congress needs to act. We need to provide the money to have judges there and to have immigration officers so that we can actually be quickly processing the claims."

Khanna added: "The president is saying that these claims should be processed in hours. People who aren't legitimate should be sent back. We need to have more money for Border Patrol, which, by the way, the House has passed under Democratic leadership. Two years ago, the Republicans didn't vote for that. But why not come up with a bipartisan solution? That's what I want."
