President Joe Biden tried on Tuesday to blame Donald Trump and the Republican Party for the border crisis — but the attempt quickly failed.

In a speech about the so-called border bill — which gives three times as much taxpayer money to Ukraine than to the border crisis — Biden asserted that if the bill fails to become law, Trump and Republicans are responsible for the chaos at the border.
