Republicans noted, more than 207,000 illegal aliens crossed the southern border in that period. They also showed that number surged by more than 150,000 in Biden’s first year in office and it continued to rise. Members of the GOP further lamented more than 3 million migrants in total crossed into the US illegally and the Democrat President has yet to visit the southern border.
