Jake Auchincloss, a congressman, recently discussed the State of the Union address and a particular moment that has sparked controversy among his progressive colleagues. The discussion revolved around President Biden's use of the term 'illegals' to refer to individuals who enter the country illegally. The President used this term while highlighting a tragic incident involving the death of a young woman at the hands of an undocumented immigrant.
During the conversation, Auchincloss emphasized that the President was leveraging his empathy to connect with the American people on a pressing issue - border security. He pointed out that the border currently faces challenges in terms of security and highlighted two contrasting approaches to address the issue.
