What Crisis? Report Claims TX Migrant Facility Hits 729% Capacity, Kids Going Hungry
Biden’s policies have created a crisis at the border, leaving many Americans wanting a stronger approach when it comes to illegal immigration, including finishing the construction of the wall that Trump started, according to polling from the Senate Opportunity Fund.
Illegal immigrants are coming in at record numbers with one Texas holding facility at 729% capacity. Voters by a large margin — 71% to 19%, would like Biden to end incentives that are creating the crisis at the southern border and get tougher on illegal immigration.
Those are sobering statistics for the White House, which is facing growing bipartisan unease on Capitol Hill over the state of the border. Both Democrats and Republicans in Congress say the record pace of illegal immigration and the crowding in Border Patrol facilities have reached the point of a crisis. Mr. Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas have rejected that label.
The border mess is hindering Mr. Biden’s attempts to celebrate the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package he signed into law this month.
White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki is inundated with border-related inquiries at the daily press briefing. Those questions also dog Mr. Biden as he travels around the country to tout his administration’s early achievements.
“For President Biden, the challenge is really that this is a political issue that Republicans see as giving them an advantage — particularly in the face of rising approval ratings for President Biden after passing the stimulus and passing that 100 million vaccines in arms mark,” Lara Fink, a Democratic strategist, told a local CBS affiliate during Mr. Biden’s trip last week to Atlanta.
The dissent surfaced again Tuesday ahead of Mr. Biden’s visit to Ohio after Republican Senate candidate Jane Timken released a television advertisement accusing the president of caring more about illegal immigrants than struggling Americans.
“During the pandemic, Ohio’s small businesses and families struggled to survive,” Ms. Timken says in the ad. “What was Joe Biden’s first legislative proposal? A liberal plan to give amnesty to 12 million illegal immigrants.”
While the political left opposed Trump’s wall while he was in office, they are now changing their minds and see it as something that should be completed for the security of the country.
