The Biden administration is “finally admitting” that there is a “disaster at the border,” but it’s now blaming House Republicans for the issue, even after the lawmakers passed legislation that has been languishing for over a year in the Senate, Rep. Beth Van Duyne said on Newsmax Saturday.

“After the first three years of the Biden administration, we have seen record numbers crossing our border. They’ve been in denial,” the Texas Republican said on Newsmax’s “Saturday Report.” The bill that has already been passed includes provisions that were proven to work during the Trump administration, including building a wall and deporting criminals illegally in the country, she noted. 

“It did not include things like their catch and release program that was added by executive order under the Biden administration,” she said. “It didn’t include the CBP One app, which allows anybody basically to come over with a cellphone and fills out a quick application that can get over. It does not include the massive parole program that Biden again installed by executive order that [Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas has executed that allows criminals into our country and releases them, even knowing they are on parole.”
