This week, the border crisis is set to explode into a full on catastrophe as Title 42 is rescinded, and thousands of migrants currently waiting to attempt entry to the U.S. will surge crossing points.
Yet one of Joe Biden’s senior advisors, Keisha Lance Bottoms, said Sunday that she “can’t speak to why he has or has not gone” to the border.
He hasn’t gone. You can’t speak to why he has gone because he hasn’t.
"Why doesn't he go to the [southern] border?" @margbrennan asks senior White House adviser Keisha Lance Bottoms on President Biden.
“I can't speak to why he has or has not gone," she says. "But what the president has done is continue to lean in on this immigration issue." pic.twitter.com/dkirUnxikl

Lance Bottoms claimed that “simply because people don’t see the president at the border, doesn’t mean that he’s not working.”
She added that Biden will “continue to lean in on this immigration issue.”
Biden has claimed that there are more important things to worry about.
Several Democrats proved Senator Josh Hawley right at the weekend, after Hawley asserted that they don’t want a Southern border and are “executing their plan” to completely dissolve it.

Meanwhile, GOP Congresswoman Young Kim has introduced legislation that “requires the Department of Homeland Security to report to Congress a comprehensive southern border strategy.”
Kim charged that the Biden administration has no strategy on the Southern border.
“I have gone down to the border multiple times in California and Texas, and after I spoke with the Border Patrol agents and those in authority, I found out that our federal government has only the northern border strategy but zero that deals with the southern border strategy,” Kim told Fox News’ “America Reports.”
