The border “crisis” has been in the news, with conservatives blaming the Biden administration for bringing about the “crisis.” Newsweek reports on an immigration attorney calling out Fox News opinion host Jeanine Pirro during her show, pointing out that she was not sharing accurate information with her viewers.
David Leopold, an immigration lawyer who served as a transition adviser to President Joe Biden, appeared on Pirro’s program Justice With Judge Jeanine last night to discuss the immigration situation at the southern border. As Jason Lemon reports for Newsweek, “[s]ince Biden came to office, the U.S. has seen another surge in Latin American migrants—as it has routinely in recent years. Republicans have jumped on the increase in immigrants and asylum seekers to attack the new Democratic administration. . . . `Why are they still coming? They’re coming because this is not a Biden issue. This is something that’s been going on in ebbs and flows for decades. And in fact, if you want to talk about a surge at the border—or a crisis…’ Leopold said before being cut off by Pirro, as she took issue with his assessment.”
