On Friday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) stated that in order to convince people to support Ukraine funding "Democrats have to come to grips that we have to close that border down." And urged President Joe Biden to declare a national emergency the way former President Trump did "and shut it down tight." Manchin also stated that "asylum basically should be put on hiatus for six months or so until we can get an immigration policy that works for our country and also gives people the chance to come here the right way to take care of themselves and their family."
