While the Biden administration doesn’t want to confess that the border struggles with a crisis, the situation is getting out of control, the latest information emerges on the surface, and the border is desperate!
An enormous number of illegal immigrants enter the U.S., and they are receiving the best treatment because of President Biden. But the administration currently isn’t ready to manage the influx.
In their report on Wednesday, Washington Post categorized the border situation as a crisis. They stated:
“magnitude came into clearer focus Wednesday as the new administration was holding record numbers of unaccompanied migrant teens and children in detention cells for far longer than legally allowed, and federal health officials fell further behind in their race to find space for them in shelters.”
The Washington Post continued with further explanation of the situation.
“More than 8,500 migrant teens and children who crossed the border without their parents are being housed in Department of Health and Human Services shelters as they wait to be placed with relatives or vetted sponsors. Nearly 3,500 more are stuck at Border Patrol stations waiting for beds in those shelters to open up, the highest figure ever,”
Also, the news reported that currently, the migrant children stay in rooms akin to jail, rooms made for adults.
They stay in those facilities more than is allowed. According to the lawmakers, migrant children should stay there for a maximum of 72hours, but they are there for 107 hours.
During the Trump mandate, the Trump administration opened such facilities to keep the children safe and sound. But, the activist said that they kept the children in cages.
During his presidential campaign, Biden promised a more welcoming approach to these children. And, now, the situation is getting out of control. While the problem is getting worse, Biden’s approach is like inviting migrants to come to the U.S. The crisis escalated, and only two months have passed since the beginning of the president’s term.
“Young people are waiting in cramped, austere holding cells with concrete floors and benches. Lights remain on 24 hours a day, agents say, and there are few places to play,”
The highest number of children held in these facilities during the Trump presidency was 2,600 in June 2019.
Currently, the Department of Homeland Security said that at least 117,000 unaccompanied migrant children would enter the U.S. this year, and Biden is looking for a solution.
One month ago, the Biden administration allowed purchasing plane tickets to send the kids to their relatives.
“Over the first week of March, HHS received more than 450 migrant teens and children per day on average, roughly three times as many as the agency was able to release to family members and sponsors.”
At the moment, Biden and his team are looking for new, additional facilities to shelter the children. Because the current ones will be full until the end of this month.
