scapegoating immigrants. it's the oldest trick in the book, and it points at chaos at the border. it unfortunately created political pressure which has the president restricting the asylum which is not going to work, because it doesn't create new legal pathways for people to migrate here. i think we need an alternative progressive vision for what will work on the border. today i am announcing i am drafting legislation to drastically reduce the amount the united states is contributing to forced migration. if we want to address what's happening at the border, we have to create legal pathways so immigrants don't have to go to the cartels, and we have to help dreamers and long-time families here. third, we need to do what folks

it's the oldest trick in the book. and if they continue to advocate for closing legal pathways to migration and pointing at chaos of the border. >> president is also winning no point to the congressional republicans who say this is too little also oscillate after more than 8 million migrants crossed illegally hunter biden and more than 5 million remain here. >> why did you wait until now if you are serious about doing it? the simple answer is he is not serious about securing the border. >> it's a little late. you can't make this cat walk backwards >> another stunt. let's do an executive order on the border, but let's do it so it really doesn't do a darn thing but get through to november. >> the courts don't stop him, there's also the question of how he will enforce this? we don't know if mexico has agreed to take back the hundreds or thousands of people if they
