Sen. Joe Manchin called the rapidly spiraling situation at the US border a “crisis” — the first prominent Democrat to label it as such.

“It’s a crisis,” he continued. “Oh, it’s a crisis.”
In undoing former President Donald Trump’s border initiatives, President Biden unleashed a flood of Central American and Mexican illegal migrants at the US border, including thousands of unescorted children.
