Kamala Harris MIA as Joe Biden’s Border Crisis Intensifies

According to a report from The New York Times, the Biden administration’s border crisis is worsening as they apprehended more than 170,000 undocumented immigrants in March — “the most in any month for at least 15 years” — including a record-setting number of unaccompanied minors.

“More than 18,700 unaccompanied children and teenagers were taken into custody last month after crossing the border, including at port entries, nearly double the roughly 9,450 minors detained in February and more than four times the 4,635 unaccompanied minors who crossed in March of last year, the documents show.” – The New York Times

The number of migrant families traveling to the border is also rapidly increasing “with border officials encountering more than 53,000 migrants traveling as families in March, more than double the roughly 19,250 in the prior month.”

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris — who Joe Biden appointed to oversee the border crisis 12 days ago — has yet to visit the border despite being within 150 miles of it over the weekend. She hasn’t even hosted a press conference to explain what she’s doing to address the crisis.

With the number of migrants surging, the Biden administration has found themselves in a new predicament: maxed out migrant facilities and Mexico’s tightening of their own border laws have forced border officials to release migrant families into U.S. border communities without information for an upcoming court date.

“The overcrowding in facilities has prompted border agents to release more families into communities along the border, according to officials. Some of those who have been released were not fully informed about the details of their upcoming court appearances, those officials said.” – The New York Times

This is in stark contrast to President Biden’s recent claim that the “vast majority” of migrant families coming to the U.S. are being sent back.

Bottom line: This humanitarian crisis is a direct result of the Biden administration’s open-border policies and rhetoric. They’re now being forced to grapple with the consequences of their actions, and they’re failing.
