Republican Sen. Roger Marshall on Wednesday argued the Biden administration is turning U.S. border agents into “ushers,” given the record numbers of encounters of migrants at the southern U.S. border.

Marshall and other Republican senators joined on Capitol Hill to tell reporters the U.S. is on track to see about 2 million illegal immigrants cross the border this fiscal year.

“This White House has turned our border patrol into ushers, a maître d saying ‘come on across our border,’ ” said Marshall, of Kansas.
