Watch:
1) President Biden created a crisis on our border.
2) His border czar—VP Harris—refuses to visit it in person.
3) Meanwhile, unaccompanied children, terrorists, and drugs from the cartels are pouring into the United States. pic.twitter.com/0mJS4EHx4O— Kevin McCarthy (@GOPLeader) April 27, 2021
