The Chinese surveillance balloon that traveled into U.S. territory this week has sparked comparisons from Republicans with the ongoing crisis at the southern border.
The Chinese spy balloon that the country has called a civilian weather airship was spotted Saturday over Charlotte, North Carolina, as it headed east over the U.S. Cavuto Live host Neil Cavutointo U.S. territory this week has led some Republicans to make a connection between the breaching of U.S. territory by the Chinese craft — and what they see as a lackluster response by the Biden administration — and the ongoing migrant crisis at the southern border.
"Regarding the unintended entry of a Chinese unmanned airship into US airspace due to force majeure, the Chinese side has verified it and communicated it to the US side. It is a civilian airship used for research, mainly meteorological, purposes," said a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson on Saturday."Affected by the Westerlies and with limited self-steering capability, the airship deviated far from its planned course."It’s a narrative that has been firmly rejected by U.S.
The Biden administration has blamed congressional inaction to fix a"broken" immigration system and a hemisphere-wide crisis for the ongoing situation at the border. It has also pointed to ongoing anti-smuggling efforts and new border measures that it says have led to a drop in migrant crossings. But Republicans have blamed the administration’s policies for theTexas Gov.
