- MacCallum highlighted that the immigration issue is a top concern for voters in Iowa and New Hampshire, not just border states like Arizona and Texas.
- Kirby defended the administration, stating that President Biden has taken some executive actions but is limited in what he can do without support from Congress.
- Kirby also mentioned the administration's request for additional funding to enhance border security and the ongoing discussions with the Senate, which he described as 'progressing well'.
