Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) criticized the White House for not getting a grip on the surge of illegal immigration. He pointed out that the Trump administration is not to blame for the poor decisions made by Democrats in response to the border crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Biden administration has lost control of the southern border; it\u2019s time a time to regain control and you have to deal with the dynamic that led to the border being overrun,\u201d stated the Republican lawmaker. \u201cThis is not Trump\u2019s fault \u2014 that\u2019s a bunch of B.S. \u2014 this is policy choices that were ill conceived, that have blown up in Biden administration\u2019s face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, tens of thousands of migrants from Central America are currently making their way to the southern border, which has led border agents to remain on high alert. Officials said at least 14,000 unaccompanied migrant children are being held in federal custody.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Graham intents to reintroduce a bill that would help reshape immigration reform with the senator advocating for refugee processing centers abroad.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The current situation at our southern border is beyond a crisis. <\/p>\n<p>Today I\u2019m introducing the Secure and Protect Act of 2021 to fix broken policies and stop abuse of our asylum laws.  <\/p>\n<p>The border will continue to be overrun unless the Biden Administration changes course. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JDPMHMzmNZ\">pic.twitter.com\/JDPMHMzmNZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LindseyGrahamSC\/status\/1374735079273070595?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 24, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sen-graham-introduces-the-secure-and-protect-act-of-2021-to-stop-asylum-abuse-reclaim-southern-border\/\"> Sen.
