White House blames GOP for surge of migrants at southern border

The White House is blaming Republicans in Congress for the latest surge of migrants crossing the southern border. Thousands of asylum-seekers have overwhelmed agents in recent days on parts of the U-S border with Mexico. In response, the Biden administration announced it would grant Temporary Protected Status to nearly half a million Venezuelans already in the country. And 800 active-duty military troops are being sent to the border. But the main message from the White House is one of blame aimed at congressional Republicans, who accuse the president of allowing open borders.
