President Biden is now asking migrants who are preparing to move to the United States to rethink their intentions.
Biden was asked by ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos if it was a “mistake” for his administration not to “anticipate” the surge at the southern border after the 2020 presidential election during an interview that will air on Wednesday’s “Good Morning America.”
Biden countered by referring to other boundary spikes in 2019 and 2020, but Stephanopolous argued that “this one could be worse.”

“Here’s the deal: we’re taking people back,” Biden said, ignoring opponents who suspect him of enticing refugees to come when he takes office during the campaign.
Thousands of migrant children are arriving at the border and being housed in different shelters, including the White House’s denial that the massive influx is a “crisis.”
