9 senators send letter to Biden admin condemning border crisis: 'Significant risks'
Fox News
Nine senators on Saturday sent a letter to the Biden administration condemning his handling of the influx of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.
"Regardless of what the Biden Administration wants to call this current set of circumstances it has created, this surge in illegal immigration carries significant risks," the senators wrote to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra. "It also imposes a heavy burden on public resources." The senators added that "Congress and the American people must have additional clarity about how DHS and HHS are addressing" the situation at the border. There were 30,077 border apprehensions in February 2020. In February this year, Customs and Border Patrol encountered 100,441 migrants at the southern border -- a 28% increase compared to January 2021 -- and carried out 72,113 expulsions.More Related News
