Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) slammed the Biden administration for how it is handling the unfolding border crisis and alleged that it is “purposely withholding†information on the number of migrants being released into the U.S.
When asked during the interview to react to numbers showing the border is being overwhelmed, Cuellar, whose congressional district is on the border, said the administration was not releasing the full numbers of how many migrants are being released into the U.S.
“Yeah, look, we can play with words. Is that a challenge? Or is it a crisis? Let’s look at the numbers, since August of last year, the numbers have been increasing,†he said. “In especially October, November, and December, we were hitting 70,000. In January, we had 78,000. This is again, under the Trump administration, now moving into the Biden administration. Biden might have started under Trump, but when you’re the president, you own the situation, whether it’s a success or not a success.â€
