Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, and MSNBC anchor Josê Diaz-Balart insisted President Joe Biden show more urgency in solving the crisis at the southern border.
He mentioned he sees the urgency of local organizations and humanitarian groups, but again, not the federal government:"I see the urgency of the NGOs, I see the Red Cross, the plane that brought me here was filled with Red Cross volunteers, I see local officials here, I see state, border patrol National Guard — I just don’t see urgency by the federal government. Am I wrong?"
Escobar acknowledged the anchor’s concern and responded by calling on President Biden to show up at the border.
