Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell blasted President Biden for creating the current immigration crisis facing our southern borders. The top Republican called out Biden’s Homeland Security Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, for claiming there is “no” immigration crisis. In this week alone there have been multiple incidents of illegal border crossings ending in fatalities.

According to The Daily Wire:
Later, when asked about the crisis on the U.S. border, McConnell said, “Secretary Mayorkas, the head of the Homeland Security, says there’s no crisis at the border. Well, that’s absolutely incorrect.”
“And the crisis was created by the administration sending a message to desperate people who want to come here that just hang on, you will get in sooner or later,” McConnell said. “And, of course, the Mexican government then will become less cooperative. One thing the previous administration did an excellent job of, by any objective standard, was border security. And all of that is being undone very quickly in this new administration. They own this crisis at the border. They created it. And they could stop it if they chose to.”
McConnell also fiercely criticized Biden’s choice not to side with parents who need their children back in schools saying there is no science-based reason for schools to remain closed.
Biden repeatedly claimed during his campaign that he would listen to and rely on science-based facts regarding his response to Covid-19, a campaign promise that he’s either gone to the wayside or just been forgotten altogether.
“And I think the administration ought to be advocating, even though those are local decisions, ought to be advocating getting these kids back in school, because the science backs that up,” he added. When asked why he thought Biden was not doing that, McConnell said it was because “this is the parents versus the teachers union.”
“And I think the administration would be a lot smarter, rather than trying to sort of pay back their teachers union allies, to side with the parents of America, who know their kids need to be back in school,” McConnell said. “We know that there’s been a lot of damage done to the kids over the last year by being stuck at home. They need to be with other children their age. They need to be learning the social skills that come along with being back in school. And there’s no science-based reason for keeping these kids locked up at home any longer.”
