House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and other GOP lawmakers
called on President Biden to admit fault and work to reverse changes to
immigration policies that they said have caused a dangerous surge in
migrants at the southern border.
McCarthy, who spoke alongside a group of 12 other Republicans in El Paso,
Texas, following a tour of nearby border facilities, asserted that Bidens
actions to unwind Trump-era immigration policies created a situation he
described as "more than a crisis."
"This is where he should bring Air Force One. This is where he should look
the people in the eye," McCarthy said. "This is where he should talk to
the border agents and let them know that this is beyond a crisis. He can
continue to deny it, but the only way to solve it is to first admit what
he has done. If he will not reverse action, it will take congressional
action to do it."
BORDER ENCOUNTERS TOP 100,000 IN FEBRUARY AS MIGRANT CRISIS SPIRALS
U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported encounters with more than
100,000 migrants in February alone, stretching capacity at border
facilities and requiring the diversion of CBP personnel from other
checkpoints. The number of migrant children in custody at border
facilities tripled to more than 3,250 in recent weeks, with many held
longer than allowed under existing immigration law.
McCarthy said Biden has not responded to a letter he wrote calling on the
administration to work toward a bipartisan solution to address the border
crisis.
More than 10% of migrants tested for COVID-19 are positive, according to
McCarthy. He argued the presidents approach to immigration policy ran
contrary to his cautious approach to the pandemic.

CHILD MIGRANTS, AS NUMBERS SURGE
"At a time when our president would keep our country closed and when maybe
we have hope for a Fourth of July just to get together, maybe, with our
families, how much spread of COVID is he creating every single day by his
policies along this border?" McCarthy said. "Its wrong and it has to end
and it needs to end now."
Biden has taken several actions to reverse the Trump administrations
immigration policies, including an end to funding for Trumps border wall
and a loosening of restrictions for asylum claimants.
Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y., the ranking member of the Houses Homeland
Security Committee, said cartels have "masterfully" exploited the Biden
administrations immigration policies. Current testing procedures for
migrants at border facilities are inadequate, he added.
"There is indeed disorder at the border by executive order," Katko said.
GOP critics have called for days for the Biden administration to refer to
the situation at the border as a "crisis." Meanwhile, prominent Democrats,
including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., have accused Republicans
of attempting to exploit the situation for political purposes.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the "majority" of migrants who
arrive at the border are turned away despite Bidens unwinding of certain
policies. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Domestic
Policy Adviser Susan Rice were part of a group of Biden administration
officials who visited border facilities earlier this month.
Rep. Yvette Herrell, R-N.M., one of the GOP lawmakers at the El Paso
event, said Bidens handling of immigration amid a pandemic has "made no
sense at all."
"This is a humanitarian crisis, but its also a public health crisis and
Americans are just as much at risk as those making the trek over," Herrell
said.
