deport parted the country who attempted to cross our border in the month of august. that was even before we saw the horrible photos that we saw of people gathering under the bridge there is a process that is in place as people whether they re come from haiti or any part of the world goes through. go ahead. we haven t yet heard recently from president biden specifically about these images on the border. you have described him as saying that they are horrible but what does he believe the comparisons being made between his administration and the trump administration? we saw congresswoman maxine waters saying today this is trump s policy. several other democrats are saying this looks like the previous administration. what does he think of those comments? well, what our role is and what the president has asked his outreach team, members of his national security team, homeland security team to do, is to explain clearly what our policy is and what our policy is not. we could not see it as
because we are in a global pandemic. so we are still operationalizing that if people are not expelled under that then there are a range of options. either they are put into an alternative to detention whereby owe metric data is required. they are required to they re given a notice to appear or they re put in an ice facility. this is the process that is ongoing and has happened for every other migrant who has attempted to come irregularly across the border. if i could ask one follow-up on the budget. what is it about the nearly five hours of meetings yesterday that gives president biden hope? well, i think what gist him hope is that there is agreement about the need to do more to address costs for the american public, whether it s child care, elder care, the cost of college, pre-k. there is also agreement that there is more that needs to be done to make our tax system more
