“People who are sending their children here unaccompanied, children as young as 6, 7 years old, coming here with no adults who are sent on a dangerous journey—I don’t think that is because of a speech Joe Biden gave,” Klain told “Face the Nation” in an interview. “I think it is because of horrible conditions in El Salvador and Guatemala and Honduras.”
