REPORT: Border Surge Expected to Last 7+ Months
Axios is reporting that the Biden Administration projects the number of unaccompanied minors crossing the border could continue to spiral out of control for 7 or more months.
The administration is reporting that the total number of crossings could expand from the 16,000+ this month to as many as 26,000 come September, based on documents leaked to Axios.
Until March 2021, the record was 11,475 (May 2019). The minimum projections for each of the next six months are expected to be much higher.
The Biden Administration is projecting May 2021 to have anywhere from 22,000-25,000, a steep increase from the previously projected 13,000, a figure reported by Axios back in February.
The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) range for September is 22,000 to 26,000. Totals that will more than double the previous record set in May of 2019.
President Biden falsely claimed in his press conference last week that “nothing has changed” with the rise in migration numbers and that the increase in crossings “happens every single solitary year” around this time of year.
However, based on the actions of his own administration, it’s very clear they are preparing for anything but the normal amount of border crossings.
No more than 8,230 children were put in shelters each year from 2004-2009 while White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed on Fox News Sunday that they were building a facility that can house 7,000 migrant children alone.
In addition the agency is planning to use military bases to house children who crossed the border.
The Washington Post also reported on Sunday that the DHS is expecting anywhere from 500,000 to 800,000 migrant families to cross the border in 2021.
These numbers do not account for the amount of unaccompanied minors crossing the border. Combined the expected numbers will be far greater than the previous record set in 2019, displaying the true level of crisis at hand on the southern border.
