Old Biden's Temper Tantrum: Sources Say Biden "Exploded In Frustration" Over Border Crisis In Meetings With Staff

President Biden has reportedly expressed frustration with his team over what he perceives as excuses for inaction at the southern border.

According to a report by The Washington Post on Wednesday, Biden had several outbursts over the border crisis as the pandemic-era immigration restriction policy Title 42 is set to expire.

A former official, who remained anonymous, told the Post that Biden would say, "D--- it, you haven't told me anything different from what you told me last week," during his outbursts. The official added that Biden would apologize, saying, "Look, I'm sorry, I know everybody is trying."

The report also highlighted division among the Democratic Party about how to address the border crisis. After repealing the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" policy, some officials questioned whether they had been too quick to halt it.

"It was the worst of all possible worlds," the official told the Post. "We'd said we were doing away with it, and now we had to rethink putting it back."

Former Obama defense secretary and member of the Department of Homeland Security's advisory council, Leon Panetta, expressed concern that the administration may not be ready for the end of Title 42. "I'm not sure we're ready for the consequences," he said. "When you remove Title 42, there's going to be new challenges that are going to have to be faced head-on."

Title 42, a public health order used to expel hundreds of thousands of migrants quickly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is set to expire on Thursday. The President told reporters Tuesday that the border would be "chaotic for a while" after the health order's expiration.

"At this stage of the game, I think the administration has had enough notice that they have got to be ready to handle whatever happens. They definitely are going to be tested in these next few weeks," Panetta added. "It's not going to be easy. I suspect that it's one of those explosive issues that no matter what you do, you're going to get blamed."
