Former acting CBP commissioner says migrant surge 'exactly what this administration wanted'

The "skyrocketing" migrant surge at the U.S.-Mexico border is "exactly what the Biden administration wanted," former Acting Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan told "America Reports" Wednesday.

"We've seen surges before," Jacobson said.  "Surges tend to respond to hope, and there was significant hope for a more humane policy after four years of pent-up demand ... so I don't know if I would call that a coincidence," Jacobson told reporters at the White House. "But the idea that a more humane policy would be in place may have driven people to make that decision, but perhaps, more importantly, it definitely drove smugglers to express disinformation, spread disinformation about what was now possible," Jacobson added.
