House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) admitted there is a “humanitarian challenge” at the border but ruled out calling it a full-fledged crisis as throngs of illegal immigrants cross the U.S.-Mexico border, as a Republican senator said it’s the fault of the current administration.
“This is a humanitarian challenge to all of us,” Pelosi told ABC News on Sunday and echoed claims by the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, in saying that it’s because President Joe Biden’s “administration has inherited [a] broken system at the border, and they are working to correct that in the childrens’ interest.”
