Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas will appear before the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday, as the Biden administration finds itself facing a crisis at the southern border with a surge of migrants that includes an overwhelming number of unaccompanied children.
Migrant children are arriving at the U.S. southern border at rates faster than they can be processed and transferred to sponsor homes, all while the Biden administration has repeatedly denied that there is a crisis at the border, a senior Customs and Border Protection official told Fox News on Tuesday.
The number of migrant children in federal custody has surged past 4,000 with roughly 94% of beds for migrant children occupied, the source said.
