On Wednesday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Cuomo,” Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) reacted to reports that the CBP One app has been used to release hundreds of thousands of migrants into the country by stating that the border, “in my lifetime, is one of the most dangerous things we’ve ever faced, it has the ability to brew into something that we can’t even imagine, because we don’t know where an awful lot of these people are, what their intentions [in] coming here [are] for, we weren’t able to adjudicate them or vet them. And that’s what got to stop. And Joe Biden owns it.” Manchin also stated that Democrats could have acted on the border sooner and that while he hopes President Biden declares an emergency on the border during the State of the Union, it would still be “Very late.”
Manchin said, “I’ve always known that we’ve done country paroles, countries that have had horrific conditions, they were supposed to be vetted, as I’ve always understood, vetted in the countries before they were given permission to come here on a parole basis so they could go to work and start creating a life, to see if they deserve to be in our country, and if it worked out for everybody. But that’s been going on for quite some time in many administrations, as I’m understanding it. I think that’s what you’re talking about, country parole.”
Host Chris Cuomo then said, “The Democrats could have brought this bill. They could have done more sooner. Schumer brought it now.”
Manchin responded, “Sure.”
Cuomo then said, “Yeah, me too. He’ll still be late.”
Manchin responded, “Very late.”
