We’ll know even more details in the coming days as the Department This is Homeland Security And Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas They will outline the details of operationalizing Biden’s announcement.
During The president, unsurprisingly, downplayed the dangers of his disastrous policies so far and shifted the blame. border crisis To Republicans In CongressHe played the victim and claimed that he hasn’t received enough of the outrageous and misplaced funding He demands it all the time.
Five Fibs specific Biden told:
