Is Biden responsible for the surge of illegal border crossings?

One of the biggest challenges President Biden has faced during his first seven months in office undoubtedly relates to the border situation. By this, we refer to a surge of illegal border crossings that has intensified since the beginning of 2021. Since March, border forces have reported the highest apprehension rates in decades, including single adults, family units and unaccompanied immigrant minors.

Naturally, the first reaction among the American population is to ask whether the Biden administration and its stance on immigration is an influential factor in the surge of illegal border crossings. At the same time, opposition groups and certain political leaders are taking the opportunity to criticize and disparage Biden’s immigration policies, especially because they are almost diametrically opposed to those of former President Trump, who implemented truly restrictive rules and measures on all kinds of immigration processes.

Therefore, in light of this fact, Biden’s immigration proposals would clearly appear to be quite welcoming and permissive, although this is not necessarily the case. Regardless of who is right, the real question should be, to what extent is the Biden administration responsible for the current border situation?

Testimony of migrants arriving at the borders

To resolve the conundrum of whether the Biden administration is entirely to blame for the surge in illegal border crossings, it is absolutely ineffective to speak from the perspective of different political parties or to present a purely personal or subjective opinion. The answer to this question is among migrants entering the country without legal documentation, who can openly explain the reasons why they make the risky decision to cross the borders without authorization, including from countries beyond Mexico.

Several NHK reporters recently traveled to the border territory and interviewed at least 12 migrants who were crossing the US’ borders without legal documentation, and, surprisingly (or not), only one commented on the Biden administration’s new immigration policies.

The rest of them explained that they were forced to leave their countries of origin while trying to save and protect their lives from persecution, violence (including by family members), war, famine and the repercussions of several natural disasters that have recently taken place in Central American territory.

These testimonies could undoubtedly resolve the controversy surrounding the Biden administration and mass irregular migration. However, it does not remove the fact that there are individuals crossing the US’ borders without legal documentation, which will always be a contentious issue among the American population.

Furthermore, irregular migration never brings positive repercussions and could be an extremely dangerous journey.
