Sen. John Cornyn: Biden administration ‘miscalculated’ border crisis

The White House denies the border crisis as it struggles to house migrants; Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, reacts on ‘America Reports.’

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, told "America Reports" Friday that the Biden administration has "miscalculated" the border crisis and are "fooling themselves."

Cornyn argued the White House didn’t have a plan to deal with the situation and "underestimated" the numbers of migrants who would try to enter the U.S.

The ranking member of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Security and Immigration mentioned the Biden administration’s "rule of thumb" seems to be "whatever Trump’s policies were ... do the opposite."

SEN. JOHN CORNYN: "If they think a radio ad in Guatemala or some rhetoric from the podium in Washington, D.C. is going to keep people from trying to enter the United States, they're just fooling themselves, and what I really regret is they have absolutely no plan. They underestimated this. They had no plan to deal with it, and this is in the face of a pandemic right now.

We've seen this movie before during the Obama administration, and you would have thought that the Biden administration, which was part of the Obama administration, would have learned. But I don't know whether it's the politics or just the incompetence of this administration. That seems to be the rule of thumb, that whatever Trump's policies were, you do the opposite whether it makes sense or not, and that seems to be what's happening here.
