Biden should end Europe trip to deal with border after new numbers show continuing crisis, Arizona AG says
Fox News
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich is asking President Biden to return from his trip to Europe and address the massive migrant surge on the southern border after May numbers from Border Patrol indicate the number of migrants coming to the U.S. is much higher than it's been in years.
May's migrant encounter numbers are up massively compared to 2020 and 2018, when just over 23,000 and 51,000 migrants crossed the border in May of those years. Even in 2019 when there was a migrant surge, Border Patrol encountered just over 144,000 migrants in May, the highest total of any month that year. Brnovich said that the crisis threatens the United States' "safety, security, environment, and economy" and is also a "humanitarian disaster" due to the dangers migrants encounter on their trek from Central America and through Mexico to get to the U.S.-Mexico border.
