“This is just Mexico carrying Biden a couple rounds,” Rep. Tony Gonzales said.
Rep. Tony Gonzales, who faces a primary runoff this Tuesday against a far-right challenger, said he doesn’t believe the migrant drop has to do with anything President Joe Biden has done. | Pool photo by Tom Williamsboth said Sunday the current drop in migrants at the Southern border is probably not permanent — and urged congressional action to be taken on the border.
“I don’t know that it’s permanent. And so I think we have to just recognize that without updating the laws of this country, without surging more resources to the border, we can’t count on the numbers staying as low as they are today,” Murphy said. “And remember, today you have about 3,000 people crossing at the border on a daily basis. That’s still a high number compared to what we saw 10 years ago.
The two both pointed to the Mexican government as part of the drop: Gonzales noted the June 2 Mexican elections, while Murphy pointed to smart diplomacy between the U.S. and Mexican governments.
