House Republicans blasted the Biden administration for how it recently referred to illegal immigrants in a fact sheet on the bipartisan border agreement.

“The Biden White House is now referring to illegal immigrants as ‘newcomers,’” House Republicans wrote on X, referring to the fact sheet’s penultimate paragraph, where it says “the bill also includes $1.4 billion for cities and states who are providing critical services to newcomers, and would expedite work permits for people who are in the country and qualify.”

House Republicans then went on to argue in the post that the border crisis “is a catastrophe by design" and shows how unserious the commander in chief is about stopping the flood of illegal immigrants. 

 

Many others agreed.
