McCarthy hammers Biden over border crisis, urges him to visit and see 'what he's created'

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., urged President Biden Monday to visit the southern border and see "what he's created," blaming the administration's policies for an alarming migrant and drug smuggling crisis.

McCarthy and 12 other House Republicans visited the border Monday as they continued to criticize the White House over the surge in migrant crossings since Biden took office. The surge includes a large number of unaccompanied children, some of whom McCarthy met during his trip. "It's worse than a crisis. I thought I would see a crisis, but this is really a human heartbreak," he said. "We have our brand-new facility to care for these children and they built it beyond capacity, thinking they would never reach it. Today, they just set the anniversary that they broke capacity, more than 1,040 children, and it's only growing every day. What that means is 120 of these border agents, that are doing an extraordinary job in unbelievable times, can't be on the border protecting us."
