Migrant children languish in border shelters for weeks as more arrive

Hundreds of migrant children are languishing at emergency shelters established by the Biden administration as the border crisis continues.

More than 700 children were in the government’s unlicensed emergency facilities in mid-July for more than three weeks. The sites were established under the Biden administration in March, and are still being used despite being set up to serve as a temporary answer amid the crisis. The Trump and Obama administrations had also used similar temporary facilities during their respective tenures in the White House, but they were dealing with far fewer migrants than Biden.
