House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Thursday that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris appear to be "'more interested in helping illegal immigrants than helping our own citizens" during the coronavirus pandemic.
McCarthy cited rising unemployment during the pandemic and vaccine distribution as top priorities to tackle, as opposed to the immigration plan Biden's team rolled out that would grant a path to citizenship for about 11 million illegal immigrants.
"Are we helping individuals, especially our most at-risk population, gain access to a vaccine? That is why I was disappointed to see within hours of assuming office the new administration was more interested in helping illegal immigrants than helping our own citizens; more interested in virtue signals to the climate activists than supporting the union workers who were building the Keystone pipeline," McCarthy said during a press conference.
