Mayorkas credited the criminal penalties for migrants who illegally enter the country for the decrease in crossings.
Biden, asked during a bike ride near his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, how he believed the border situation was going, responded: “Much better than you all expected.”The Biden administration plan requires migrants to schedule an immigration appointment through an app or seek protection from countries they passed through on their way to the U.S. border. If they do not follow the process and are caught entering the U.S.
Officials from communities along the border agreed they had not seen the large numbers of migrants that many had feared would further strain U.S. border facilities and towns. But Republicans who control the U.S. House of Representatives warned a surge could still be on the way. Representative Mark Green, Republican chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, told CNN: “What the secretary failed to say is, this week has seen more crossings than any time, any week, in our history.”Article content
