Some have even referred to the the border crisis as the \u201cBiden effect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While speaking on the Senate floor Tuesday, Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wy.) and Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) pointed out how the Biden administration\u2019s policies are squarely to blame for the crisis at the southern border.<\/p>\n<p>The GOP lawmakers began with data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which shows more than 100,000 illegal immigrants crossed the border in the month of February. Sen. Scott stressed that\u2019s more than double the number from that time last year. The Florida lawmaker made the following remarks on the matter:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cYou\u2019ve heard the numbers, 100,000 people were detained last month. Almost 10,000 children. Fifteen-thousand children now in custody. This is all Joe Biden\u2019s doing. He needs to go to the border, needs to see the crisis he\u2019s created. He said he\u2019s going to do it now, but we don\u2019t know when he\u2019s going to do it. He created this crisis. He needs to go deal with it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In response, the Biden administration recently awarded Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) an $86.9 million contract to secure hotel rooms near the border to provide temporary shelter for families who illegally crossed.<\/p>\n<p>Under the contract, each family receives a comprehensive health assessment, including COVID-19 testing. However, it\u2019s been reported that more than 100 illegal immigrants who tested positive have been released into Texas.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2390919\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2390919\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2390919 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/fb_image-3121.jpeg\" alt=\"Sen.

Barrasso said Republicans have solutions, but Democrats don\u2019t want to hear them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is Joe Biden\u2019s crisis, he created it by his policies,\u201d asserted the Wyoming lawmaker. \u201cRepublicans have common sense solutions that would actually reverse this immediately and it involves securing the border, enforcing the laws and restoring the \u2018Remain in Mexico\u2019 orders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Barrasso said otherwise, security and safety of the U.S. will continue to suffer. He went on to preview the trip he plans to make to the border in Texas later this week to inspect the situation firsthand since the White House is \u201cstill in denial.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/mark-meadows-biden-border-policy-nothing-short-of-incompetence\/\"> Mark Meadows: Biden border policy \u2018nothing short of incompetence\u2019<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents take into custody people near the U.S.-Mexico border, Saturday, March 20, 2021, in Hidalgo, Texas.
