.SpeakerMcCarthy set to lead a group of freshman GOP lawmakers to the southern border, despite White House claims of a ‘publicity stunt’. This following a notable SOTU, during which the GOP heckled Biden for his border policy: 'It's all your fault.'
Immigration has been featured heavily in Republican responses to Biden's call for immigration reform during the State of the Union address. While Democrats cheered in support of the president's call for comprehensive immigration reform or funds for more border security, GOP lawmakers jeered and booed Biden, yelling,"It's your fault," when Biden discussed the border crisis.
“House Republicans should spend less time on partisan publicity stunts and more time working on solutions,” Ian Sams, a White House spokesman, said in a statement via the Hill. “Solutions are what President Biden is focused on, and his is plan working. House Republicans would be wise to join him to work together to strengthen our immigration system and fund border security.”
However, the White House argues that Biden's policies are working after measures adopted early this year helped alleviate pressure at the border. On Jan. 5, Biden announced that people from Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Haiti will be denied the opportunity to apply for asylum if they cross the U.S.-Mexico border without authorization. As such, illegal border crossings dropped in January to the lowest level in nearly two years.
Sams accused Republicans of opposing funding requests from Biden to strengthen border security, which would be used to send more Border Patrol agents and equipment to the southern border — something Biden touted during the State of the Union.
