Beto O'Rourke says Biden 'really failing us' on asylum policy, claims Democratic voters are 'unexcited'
Fox News
Former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke criticized President Biden for his handling of the asylum process after initially being inspired by the president's campaign promises on immigration.
"When Joe Biden was running in 2020, he ran with such incredible moral clarity on this issue: ‘We will no longer put kids in cages because they’re not animals, we will no longer tear babies from the breasts of their mothers,' literally what Trump was doing in his family separation policy," O’Rourke said. "'We're going to restore the soul of America, and we're going to live up to our promise.' Man, that was inspiring to me. I needed to hear that, living on the border and as someone who really cares about that."
O’Rourke admitted that he believes Biden has been successful in addressing immigration "on some counts" and that his administration's rhetoric is a "night-and-day" difference when compared to the Trump years.
