Manchin highlighted the need for immediate measures to secure the U.S. southern border, suggesting that if Congress cannot pass necessary legislation, the president should declare a national emergency to shut down and secure the border.

“I think the border,” began Sen. Manchin.
“The border has to be fixed. … We were told before Christmas, we’re going to stay here and get this done. Then, all of a sudden, OK, you can go home now, because we’re getting some language done now, but we’re writing, putting pen to it. We’re going to come back, and, as soon as we come back – that was last week – we’ll have something,” he continued.
“Now, this is the second week,” said the senator.
“This is the greatest crisis we’re facing right now is the border, and it’s dangerous. And if Congress cannot do its job, because the perfect is the enemy of the good, it’s just not perfect enough for the Democrats or Republicans, or it’s gone too far or not far enough, the president has to step forward and declare an emergency. I don’t believe there should be any more paroles at the border until we can get a handle on what’s going on. And it is – it’s just extremely bad right now,” said Manchin.
Sen. Manchin demanded that Biden, “do what needs to be done to shut that border down and secure it until we can get a handle.”
