Biden Faces Controversy Over Increase in Illegal Border Crossings

According to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, if the flow of immigrants at the borders continues with the same trend of the last two months, within a few weeks the US will reach the highest number of border apprehensions in the last 20 years, even higher than in 2019, when CBP (Customs and Border Protection) reported a total of 144,116 encounters at the borders in May.

This is because there is a substantial increase in illegal border crossings, which includes both unaccompanied immigrant minors, as well as immigrant families and single adults. The current border situation is national news and is unleashing colossal social controversy.

In fact, since President Joe Biden has a very positive opinion about immigration, his administration is receiving countless criticism regarding the way it is handling the surge of illegal border crossings. However, there are other factors that are increasing irregular immigration such as the economic crisis in Central America, which increases violence rate and famine in several countries.

Republican Senators pressure the Biden administration over border situation

Several Republican members of the US Senate are using the current border situation to pressure the Biden administration and try to promote stricter immigration policies, which would reduce alternatives available to the most vulnerable immigrant populations.

In fact, on Wednesday, March 24, 2021, different Republican senators tried to introduce at least five immigration bills for Congress approval, which seek to control the situation at the borders and curb irregular immigration from Central American territory.

It is important to clarify that several Republican members blame the Biden administration for the surge of illegal border crossings, stating that to abruptly rescind Trump’s policies, which were extremely strict, encouraged irregular immigration. However, it is also important to clarify that the Trump administration also had to face a wave of immigrants at the borders, despite having restrictive policies.
