Child Migration Quickly Overwhelming Biden Administration’s Resources, Internal Documents Show:
The number of child migrants crossing the United States’ southern border is quickly exceeding the federal government’s ability to hold them, internal documents from the Department of Health and Human Services show.
In the final week of February, Border Patrol referred an average of 321 children a day to HHS custody, according to Axios, which first reported the documents’ findings. Child migrant crossings averaged 203 per day in late January, and just 47 a day during the first week of 2021
The documents also said that the U.S. shelter system was at 94% capacity, and is expected to be completely full before April, Axios reported. The government has also held kids and teens crossing the border for 77 hours, CNN first reported, longer than the 72 hours allowed under U.S. law.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas denied Tuesday that there was a growing crisis at the border, saying that the U.S. was working continuously to process migrants as efficiently as possible. --->READ MORE HERE
DHS warns Biden of crisis: Record 117,000 unaccompanied children expected at border this year:
The Biden administration reportedly expects an unprecedented surge of unaccompanied migrant children showing up on the southern border in hopes of being admitted into the United States during its first year.
Border officials anticipate 117,000 children will arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border without a parent or guardian in 2021, according to a White House domestic policy council document to be shared with President Biden this afternoon, which Axios reported Tuesday. The number is higher than the 68,000 taken into custody during the 2014 surge of solo children and the 80,000 who arrived during the 2019 humanitarian crisis at the border.
"I actually think that’s an undercount," Victor Manjarrez, Jr., a former senior Border Patrol agent who teaches about law and human behavior at the University of Texas at El Paso, told the Washington Examiner. --->READ MORE HERE
