Scarborough began by asking Cuellar what President Joe Biden’s administration and Congress need to do to alleviate the border crisis. He stated that the crisis was “not seasonal,†as he mentioned the story The Washington Post ran in March saying that the surge the country is seeing is part of a yearly seasonal pattern. “That’s just not true. I hope they corrected that lie,†he added before giving Cuellar an opportunity to respond.
