He noted that officials from both Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Health and Human Services Department appeared overwhelmed by the influx of people hoping to enter the country.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy said officials told him 10 percent of those who cross the border have tested positive for COVID-19, which is creating a health risk for agents and sacrificing the efforts of communities to curb the spread of the virus. He also said he still has not heard back from the Biden administration to hold a sit down talk about the crisis.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Mr. President, our border patrol agents are overwhelmed, and they deserve the help of their federal government. I am calling on you to put politics aside. Let\u2019s work together for the security of our nation and the betterment of our people. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Pxc08NJjWa\">https:\/\/t.co\/Pxc08NJjWa<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kevin McCarthy (@GOPLeader) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPLeader\/status\/1372572418896621570?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 18, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>McCarthy also said Joe Biden has failed to send a clear message to migrants.
