Republicans call abuse of migrants a 'moral crisis' of Biden's making

Republicans adopted a harsher tone this past week about the surge of noncitizens coming across the southern border, calling it not just a “border crisis” or a “constitutional crisis” but a “moral crisis” attributable to President Joe Biden.
“What is happening on the border ... is, I think, a humanitarian crisis. It is a national security crisis. It is a drug crisis,” said Sen. Josh Hawley, a Missouri Republican, in a floor speech. “It's also, frankly, a moral crisis when you see the children being exploited and smuggled for profit by these cartels at the border, when you see the lies that these cartels are telling innocent people to get their money and bring them across the border, and when you see the effects of the drugs that are flowing across this border into every community of my state.”
Illegal immigration at the southern border in March hit the highest level in 21 years. Those levels rose in April and then again in May as more than 180,000 people attempted to enter the United States between ports of entry or were denied at those border crossings. Sen. John Cornyn, a Texas Republican, called it a “flood of humanity” during a congressional hearing Tuesday.

Since democrats don't have a true moral code, the abuse of immigrants should be expected. :pondering:

When one becomes a member of the communist party, one subjugates "morals" to the needs and orders of The Party.
The cry of "morality" is wasted upon them.
