Finally! The Border Crisis Has Become A Bipartisan Issue

Additional Americans are not fond of President Joe Biden’s handling of the border security and the inrush of unaccompanied children as illegal aliens at the southern border exceed record highs.

According to a new survey carried by the Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, while Biden has an overall approval rating of 61 percent, 55 percent of Americans censure his handling of border security 56 percent oppose his immigration policies.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) figures show that illegal crossings grew to over 100,000 in February. “The highest February that we had seen in 20 years,” former acting Secretary of Department of Homeland Security Chad Wolf told The Epoch Times.

More than 150,000 illegal immigrants were arrested at the southern border in March and another 30,000 escaped arrest, according to former Commissioner Mark Morgan, who has received provisional CBP numbers from private sources.

As to Biden’s handling of unaccompanied children arrested at the southern border, only 24 percent of Americans approve his performance, 40 percent don’t approve, and another 35 percent of Americans neither approve or disapprove.

The number of unaccompanied children crossing the border reached more than 18,500 in March, 60 percent higher than the previous record of 11,494 in May 2019, according to CBP data obtained by NBC News.

The Biden administration insists it’s more “humane” to keep the children in the United States. Republicans examine the policy, followed by the cancellation of other Trump-era systems, for creating the definite increase of unaccompanied children at the border.

Currently, border facilities are being flooded by the surge of illegal aliens. Last week, over 4,100 illegal immigrants, more than 3,400 of them unaccompanied children, were packed in a border facility designed for 250 people in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas. The Biden administration opened two more emergency holding facilities in Texas on Monday to provisionally host unaccompanied minors.
