MSNBC on Border Crisis: ‘Republicans Are Seizing on This’

‘I mean you’ve got to talk about some of the numbers and they’re pretty astounding’

EXCERPT:

VOSSOUGHIAN: "So we now see the new attack line for Republicans is the way in which the Biden administration is dealing with immigration and a lot of folks that are rushing to the border. I mean, you’ve got to talk about some of the numbers and they’re pretty astounding. You got 3,200 plus unaccompanied migrant kids detained by Border Patrol as of last week. An over 50 percent spike in unaccompanied migrant children in February. There is certainly a problem and there has been for quite some time, as we well know, at the border. The Republicans are seizing on this, right, they're making field trips, it seems, to the border to make sure everybody sees what’s happening there. It’s interesting, listening to Lindsey Graham, as we were coming in, saying it’s time for Biden to admit Trump was doing something right. We all remember the images from the Trump administration as to what they were doing with immigration and that certainly was not the right thing to do either.”
