The White House is walking back President Biden's comments, after he called the situation at the border a "crisis" over the weekend. The administration is also issuing memos out to remove the term "illegal alien" and replace it with "noncitizen" or "migrant." It's part of a push under the current administration to overturn Trump-era policies. In his first day in office, Biden sent a citizenship bill to congress on January 20th, proposing removing the term “alien” from federal immigration laws.

President Joe Biden is trying to convince some Republicans to support his infrastructure plan. He met with a bipartisan group of lawmakers Monday for the second time, to discuss his plan. So far, no Republican Senators have endorsed it. Biden needs 10 Republican senators to over-ride a filibuster.

And in the fight with Big Tech, Sen. Josh Hawley introducing a second bill targeting big tech. It's to curb big tech's monopolistic power. One bill would ban Amazon and Google from running an online marketplace and selling goods on that marketplace at the same time. The other would bar mergers and acquisitions by firms that have a market capitalization of more than $100 billion.
