- “It was a mistake for President Biden to open the border without having a plan to handle the tremendous flow of people,” Cuomo explained, adding, “President Biden had said he would do it in the campaign — but you can’t change a policy unless you have the program in place to manage the change.”
- Cuomo’s criticism was not necessarily an attack on the Biden administration’s goals with regard to immigration reform — but rather, he argued that Biden’s team had made it clear that they either did not anticipate or failed to mitigate the “consequences of enacting those promises” that he had made during the campaign.
- The disgraced former governor had equal criticism for the border states who had responded to the crisis by busing illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities, but he did acknowledge that Biden’s border policies had created an unnecessary hardship for them.
