President Biden on Saturday described the situation at the border as a crisis for the first time, as he defended his administration’s walkback on refugee policy a day earlier. We’re going to increase the number [of refugees], he told reporters. The problem was that the refugee part was working on the crisis that ended up on the border with young people. We couldn’t do two things at once. But now we are going to increase the number.
Biden’s administration has until now refused to call the dramatic spike in migrant numbers, which saw 172,000 migrant encounters in March alone, a crisis. Instead, it has referred to it as a challenge and blamed it on the Trump administration’s dismantling of asylum paths.
