On Monday, the White House announced that Joe Biden would veto the House of Representatives’ attempt to reign in the President’s border crisis, should the legislation reach his desk.
“If the president were presented with H.R. 2, he would veto it,” the White House Budget Office said, as it is ‘too tough’ on illegal aliens.
