Fox News host Bret Baier on Tuesday cited Biden's changes to border policy that left President Joe Biden's top campaign aide speechless.
Mr. Baier clashed with his chief deputy campaign manager, Quentin Fawkes, over Mr. Biden's reversal of several policies enacted by his predecessor, former President Donald Trump. More than 300,000 illegal immigrants entered the United States in December, a record high for the month.

“President Biden took office and sent a comprehensive immigration reform package to Congress. They refused to pass it or do anything about it,” Fulks claimed.
“Biden has switched the Remain in Mexico, Remain in Mexico policy,” Baier said. “Release – catch and release, he flipped. He changed the situation on the border.”

Fawkes attacked President Trump's border security policies. Congress passed $1.4 billion in funding for border wall construction in 2020.
“Donald Trump has rounded up immigrants, separated families and put them in cages,” Fawkes said. “That's not how we treat humans.”
“There are more children in custody under the Biden administration than under the Trump administration. You know that,” Baier responded.
In the first two months of fiscal year 2024, which began on October 1, approximately 380,000 illegal immigrants were encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border. according to Based on data released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) following 2,045,838 cases in fiscal year 2023, 2,206,436 cases in fiscal year 2022, and 1,659,206 cases in fiscal year 2021.
The photo of children in cages used to attack President Trump's border policies was actually taken when Barack Obama was president.
“We have to admit that immigrants are vulnerable to the Biden campaign. Can't we just admit that?” Baier asked Fulks.
“What we acknowledge is that President Biden is working on this issue and that we are not seeing any real results because House Republicans are playing politics and bending to Donald Trump. ' argued Mr Fawkes. “They are the most ineffective Congress since the Great Depression because they are not trying to get real results and are playing politics instead of working with the president on behalf of the American people.”
