President Biden slammed "MAGA House Republicans" on Tuesday for budget proposals he says would harm border security while claiming his "keeps our border secure." Twitter users condemned his claim as preposterous.
The head of the U.S. Border Patrol told lawmakers last week the agency does not have operational control of the U.S. southern border and also said that migration levels were at "crisis" levels in some places. It was also revealed this week that Border Patrol had reached one million migrant encounters already for fiscal year 2023.
Biden released his budget proposal on March 9, and while House Republicans have yet to release a plan, the president has taken aim at a proposal from the House Freedom Caucus.
