Illegal immigration is a political issue that always seems to find its way into the news cycle. Whether it was Donald Trump in the presidency or now, Joe Biden, the issue is often discussed in dire terms.
To begin this week, U.S. Congressman Clay Higgins - Ranking Member of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Border Security - joined Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Lead Republican on the Homeland Security Committee John Katko (R-NY), and other House Republicans to assess the issue at the border firsthand, stopping in the city of El Paso, Texas.
It s widely reported that surging children crossing at the border are overwhelming U.S. facilities and putting the Biden Administration on the defensive.
Once again, the U.S. southern border is said to be in “crisis” after an increase in the number of children crossing clandestinely without their parents.
Last week, House Republicans pounced on the issue. On Monday, a GOP delegation traveled to the border city of El Paso, where they met with a scrum of reporters and described a U.S.-Mexico border in chaos.
“There is no other way to claim it than a Biden border crisis,” House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield said.
But is it a crisis?

Here’s what’s new.
In January and February, border authorities encountered more than 15,000 unaccompanied minors, an escalation of lone migrant kids coming to the border that began last year, according to the most recent statistics from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, but their numbers have gone up exponentially in recent weeks. According to the Associated Press, Border Patrol is holding more than 3,000 children in detention, a record high.
