Biden admits border isn't secure, blames Republicans for surge: 'Give me the money'

The 'Outnumbered' panel discussed Biden's admission on the border and Fetterman's take on the matter as voters prepare to head to the polls in New Hampshire with immigration policy being a key issue. 

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday sided with the Biden administration in a case involving a razor wire fence along Texas’ border with Mexico. 

The court’s decision allows Border Patrol agents to cut concertina wire that Texas had installed along the border. The wire had been installed as part of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's broader fight with the administration over immigration enforcement and attempts to stem the historic flow of migrants across the border since Biden's term began.
