McCarthy seeks Biden meeting after ‘alarming’ border numbers, warns against 'mass amnesty' push
Fox News
FIRST ON FOX: House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy is requesting a meeting with President Biden in the wake of "alarming" border numbers which showed more than 192,000 migrant encounters in September.
McCarthy wrote to Biden after new numbers by Custom and Border Protection (CBP) showed that there was only a slight decrease in migrant encounters in September from the more than 200,000 encountered in July and August.
It means that there were more than 1.7 million encounters in Fiscal Year 2021, marking a new annual record. Republicans have been sounding the alarm over not only the numbers -- but also fears about suspects on the terror watch list getting past overwhelmed Border Patrol agents.
