Tuberculosis is a contagious bacterial infection that typically attacks the lungs.
Joe Biden reversed the border policies of former President Donald Trump, and particularly ended Title 42 in May.

“Karine, please,” Doocy said. “You said you were stopping the flow at the border. Ten thousand migrants—”
“Peter, I tried to answer the question, you stopped me. Let’s go,” the press secretary said.

They are attempting to spend the narrative on the situation by blaming Republicans.
