2019 Bipartisan Border Plan Would Solve Today's Migrant Crisis 2019 Bipartisan Border Plan Would Solve Today's Migrant Crisis Tell Biden, Mayorkas, and Congress: 'Read the damn report!' In a March 16 statement, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas detailed efforts the Biden administration is employing in response to the so-called "challenges" at the Southwest border. He stated: "We are on pace to encounter more individuals on the southwest border than we have in the last 20 years." That does not need to occur, and would not if the administration just followed April 2019 recommendations from a bipartisan federal panel. Those recommendations are contained in a "Final Emergency Interim Report" issued by the Homeland Security Advisory Council's (HSAC's) CBP Families and Children Care Panel.
