Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) on Tuesday's edition of 'America Reports' on FOX News said it is not necessary for President Biden to visit the U.S.-Mexico border to know the country has a problem.

"I think the president is fully aware of the problems that we have at the border," Dingell said. "As you know, he is stepping up and making, I think, very important personnel changes. I think that addressing the border has got to be a number one priority for all of us, and it gets too political up here, and hope that it’s one of the things that we can somehow, in a bipartisan way, actually address in the next Congress"

"I mean, it gets very political on both sides, and the president knows the problem has to be addressed," the Congresswoman said. "I think it’s why he knows the current director has resigned under pressure, and you are seeing the president change personnel, and he knows it’s got to be a priority for the next two years."

"Congresswoman, would you like to see him visit the border?" anchor Sandra Smith asked.

"I don’t care if he visits the border or not," Dingell said. "He doesn’t need to visit to know we have a problem. Sometimes we fixate on little issues. You think the president doesn’t know we have a problem at the border and what the issues are? I know he does. I think he knows it’s got to be addressed. He’s gotten the reports. He’s seen the photos. So, I mean, at some point, he may or may not go, but he knows what has to be fixed, and you have seen him begin that process."
