A Texas Democrat who has been critical of the White House’s immigration policies said in separate interviews on Fox News and MSNBC that aired Thursday that “the border is not under control” and that the Biden administration is playing a “shell game” by shifting unaccompanied minors “from one tent to another tent.”

Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) said in an interview on “NBC Nightly News” that recent photos showing far less crowded housing conditions for unaccompanied migrant children in Border Patrol custody in Donna, Texas, paint a misleading picture of the border crisis.
