Border Crisis: Lawmakers Clash Over Immigration Laws and Responsibility

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are divided in their response to President Biden's claim that he has "done all he can do" to address the border crisis, with some criticizing his handling of the situation and others shifting blame to Congress. Biden is facing bipartisan criticism over his failure to handle the immigration crisis as record-high numbers of migrants enter the U.S. through its southern border. While Biden has requested $14 billion for border security as part of his supplemental funding request to Congress, there doesn't appear to be an imminent path forward, with Republicans arguing the proposals aren't aggressive enough and Democrats accusing them of delaying a deal for political advantage in the 2024 elections.
