Breaking down the blame game on the border

As Republicans and Democrats trade blame on who bears responsibility for the worsening border crisis, the Biden administration has pledged to pursue several solutions that critics argue will only worsen the problem.

More than a dozen Republican senators on Friday returned from a trip to the border led by Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, armed with images and descriptions of horrific conditions in facilities housing unaccompanied minors in Texas. The GOP lawmakers said some of the front-line Border Patrol agents with whom they spoke blamed President Joe Biden directly for inspiring a massive influx of migrants since taking office.
