The situation at the southern border is one of the challenges the Biden-Harris administration is currently facing with Republicans ready to criticize the Democratic leaders for the response to the influx of migrants at the border.
House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy is the latest to criticize the vice president and “border czar” Kamala Harris, demanding that she address the recent incident at the Rio Grande.
Speaking on Fox News, McCarthy said he requested a classified briefing on the incident at the Rio Grande, where two Yemeni nationals that were on the terror watchlist, crossed to the US from Mexico. McCarthy said Harris should attend the briefings while adding that she has yet to personally visit the border. McCarthy’s comments also come amidst more images of migrants looking to cross to the US from Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala, crossing to shelters in Texas.
