Senate Democrats blocked a resolution by Republican Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK) calling the unprecedented migrant surge a “crisis.”
21 Republicans co-sponsored the resolution.
Ihofe said the Bide admin “call it a challenge. This isn’t a challenge. This is a crisis.”
“Maybe this administration is doing this and refusing to call it a crisis because their policies have invited this surge,” he concluded.

Inhofe tweeted Wednesday:
It’s obvious to just about everyone outside Washington that the situation on our southern border is a crisis. Could anyone really believe it isn’t a crisis?
Sadly, the answer is yes. And today, Senate Democrats proved that.
