MSNBC analyst concedes record border crossings were 'not Biden's finest moment'
Fox News
MSNBC analyst Steve Rattner acknowledged Thursday that border crossings rose substantially under President Biden compared to President-elect Donald Trump.
"The border was not Biden’s finest moment, frankly," Rattner said. "You can see what happened here. Trump is not wrong when he talks about how border crossings were quite low. They’re running about 74,000 a month when he left office. They, in fact, did shoot up. Some of it was some things Biden said, and some was they put a moratorium, for example, on deportations. But, in fact, we did get up here almost to 300,000 a month." Lindsay Kornick is an associate editor for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to lindsay.kornick@fox.com and on Twitter: @lmkornick.
However, Rattner added that the Biden administration has since been able to rein in illegal immigration despite continuing to face backlash over the issue.
