The number of migrant children in custody along the U.S. southern border has tripled in the past two weeks to a record 3,250, with nearly half held past the legal limit.
Because of the surge, the Biden administration has allowed child migrant centers to expand their capacity to 100% and are searching for new shelters across the country. Officials projected 13,000 child migrants will cross into the U.S. in May alone.
So, what’s the Biden administration’s plan to stop the influx?
Nothing in the short-term – his administration is laughably blaming climate change and hurricanes for the increase in numbers, not his ending catch and release, halting deportations, stopping construction on the border wall, and terminating the Trump-era remain in Mexico policy. In the long term, President Biden wants Congress to fund his $4 billion immigration plan.
Yes, that’s correct – President Biden wants $4 billion in taxpayer money to help pay for his immigration mistakes. Instead of using the money to build a wall, or increase border security, it will be dedicated to providing funding to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to help them decrease poverty, corruption, and violence in their home countries.
