CNN finds the real border crisis: Republicans pouncing

Southern border crossings are up nearly 500% from this same time last year, with the flailing Biden administration forced to reckon with the worst border crisis in 20 years by releasing tens of thousands of migrants into the United States — 50,000 of whom don’t even have a court date to report to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

This would constitute a political travesty in the best of times. Throw in the fact that 18% of migrant families leaving Border Patrol custody have tested positive for the coronavirus, and Joe Biden’s gamble to reverse all of the Trump administration’s diplomatic deals to stop the flow of migration to the southern border starts to look like political suicide.
