Graham says Biden should apologize to Border Patrol officers
The Hill ^ | 3/28/2021 | John Bowden

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Sunday that President Biden should "apologize" to Border Patrol agents for the conditions at facilities where the agency is housing thousands of migrant children who arrived at the border unaccompanied by parents or guardians. On "Fox News," Graham told Chris Wallace that Biden's decision to end the Trump administration's "Remain in Mexico" policy was behind the latest surge, adding that Border Patrol agents told senators during a visit by a congressional delegation to the border last week that they had warned Biden's transition team thath such a surge would occur if the policy was ended. "They were told this, they did this anyway," Graham said, adding that Biden should apologize to Border Patrol agents for "putting them in this situation." "These facilities are being overrun. Ten percent of these kids are COVID-positive," the senator continued, adding: "You've got a facility designed for about 80 kids, it's holding about 2,000." The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency has said the race of COVID-19 among migrants at the border is 6 percent, a little less than the 7.4 percent rate in Texas earlier this month. Graham went on to add that the current situation represented a "complete loss of sovereignty" at the border. His comments come as the White House has remained firm on its vow to not deport unaccompanied minors without adjudication of their asylum claims, a position the administration has argued is the only humane response to children and teens who make the arduous journey to the U.S. often alone. White House press secretary Jen Psaki argued Sunday that the White House was seeking "a different approach than the last administration" on immigration. "what we're really talking about is children, and we're handling that in the most humane...way," she said on "Fox News Sunday."

Biden is a perfect example of how mediocrity and ego combine to make politicians.

If you don’t respect Senator Graham


Linda’s a grandstander and a publicity hound needing to be in the news with grand pronouncements he never fulfills. Anything that comes out of his mouth is designed to make him look good, truth not withstanding

If graham and his merry band of GOP eunuchs had promoted Trump, MaG and the American people we would not be in this disaster. He wants it this way. He knows it. We know it. He doesn’t know we know it. He’ never will. He is all mediocrity and ego. And for any foreign state paying enough to overthrow our Constitution and our way of life

Graham is a nothing.

If Graham’s hat gets any bigger and he gets any smaller he will look like a cartoon like Tom and Jerry.

But there are plenty of mediocre people who have very high opinions of themselves. There's got to be something else going on.

That traitor and jackass lost America’s Freedom.

No, I don’t respect Graham, but I also am guessing Chris Wallace pushed back with a vigorous defense of his buddy, Joe Biden.

Lindsey Graham, Chris Wallace, and Joe Biden are all on the same team. This is all theatre.

An apology. That’s the ticket. Nothing fixes things like an apology does.

If he gets Biden in an apologizing mood, maybe Graham can get Biden to apologize for stealing the election.

Graham, all but a few of the GOP, and the SCOTUS should apologize for stabbing President Trump in the back, which allowed for all of this to happen.
