Border crisis worsens as illegal crossings surge, alarming lawmakers

U.S. President Biden speaks by phone with Russia's President Putin from Camp David in Maryland

The ongoing immigration crisis at the southern border has become a growing concern for lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. President Biden's response to the issue has been met with criticism from Republicans, who argue that he has failed to take sufficient action to mitigate the crisis. New York Congresswoman Claudia Tenney, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee and the Northern Border Caucus, recently weighed in on the matter.

According to Tenney, President Biden's recent statements about addressing the border issue through new legislation are not enough. She pointed out that his approval rating on the border stands at a mere 18%, indicating a significant lack of confidence in his ability to handle the situation effectively. Tenney suggests that a simple reversal of some of the executive orders issued on Biden's first day in office, along with collaboration with Secretary Mayorkas, could go a long way in resolving the crisis.
