McCarthy Seeks Biden Meeting after ‘Alarming’ Border Numbers, Warns against 'Mass Amnesty' Push

  • House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy is requesting a meeting with President Biden in the wake of “alarming” border numbers which showed more than 192,000 migrant encounters in September.
  • “I am writing to raise my strongest concern once again regarding the crisis on our southern border and to request an urgent meeting to discuss this crisis,” McCarthy wrote to Biden in a letter Saturday, obtained by Fox News.
  • McCarthy wrote to Biden after new numbers by Custom and Border Protection (CBP) showed that there was only a slight decrease in migrant encounters in September from the more than 200,000 encountered in July and August.
