McCarthy at the Border: If Biden Won't Act, Congress Republicans Will

The crisis at the nation's southern border was created by the policies of President Joe Biden and his administration, and if he will not take action to solve the problem, Congress will, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Monday after leading a Republican congressional delegation on a tour of the border at El Paso, Texas.

"This is about the safety and security of our border," the California Republican said during an address from the border, backed by 12 other lawmakers who accompanied him. "It's also about the opportunity that Americans want and prosperity. This is where you should bring Air Force One, this is where you should look people in the eye, and talk to the border agents, let them know that this is beyond a crisis. You can continue to deny it, but the only way to solve it is to first admit what he has done."
