Arrr mateys! President Biden, in a grand gathering o' governors at the White House, be confessin' that our fair land be havin' a "broken" immigration system. Avast, we be needin' to fix this mess, or it be walkin' the plank for all of us!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, President Biden admitted on Friday that the U.S. immigration be a "broken" vessel, just hours after Fox News cameras on the ground in the San Diego area captured a mass release of migrants by the Border Patrol. The Border Patrol bus released approximately 200 migrants onto the streets in San Ysidro, who were then handed over to a nongovernmental organization (NGO) for help.President Biden, speaking to members of the National Governors Association at the White House, acknowledged the longstanding bipartisan history of immigration reform in Congress and the failure of current politics to fix the broken system. The White House has called on Republicans to support a bipartisan Senate bill to increase staffing and resources at the border, limit asylum claims, and provide funding to communities and NGOs receiving migrants.Biden described the bill as containing the "most fair and humane reforms in a long time," including increased Border Patrol agents, immigration judges, and asylum officers to expedite asylum decisions. Despite significant support, petty politics have stalled the bill in the House, prompting Biden to urge action and emphasize that "doing nothing is not an option."
