New footage of what has been happening at the border is released and shows that the migrants who are camping there are now cramped and it is necessary to take action.
President Biden has addressed that he passed a bill in order to solve the migrant surge at the border, but people are demanding for there to be more. Government officials such as AOC and even Americans around the world are begging for the border situation to be funded even more than it is.
Patrol agents are against at least 1 million migrant encounters, doubling the amount that had been encountered back in 2020.
Both John Katko, Republican representative, and Henry Cuellar, Democratic Representative, have joined forces in order to introduce the Border Surge Response and Resilience Act, which would ensure the Department of Homeland Security to solidify plans of how to control the surges at the border.
This would not only alleviate some of the tough situations that are going down at the border, but would pull from a $1 billion fund to pay for food, equipment, facilities, transportation and more.
Photos have already been released of overcrowding, and in a time like this, it is best to separate people in average amounts.
Katko has also grouped up with House Republican lawmakers to handle the situation, working with other officials to work on the staff shortages where detainees are being held.
Criticism as to how the situation is being taken comes from other officials such as AOC, stating that the conditions are “horrifying, barbaric, and unacceptable.”
The Biden administration has been trying their best to handle the situation, AOC blames U.S. foreign policy for letting the situation rise to how it is today. In recent news of overcrowding at the border, there has been a crime of dropping two toddlers over the wall the divides the two nations and another case of a mother being assaulted as her baby is tossed into a raft where six other migrants drowned.
The footage was released by US Customs Border and Protection, capturing the tragic moment when the toddlers had been dropped off the wall.
Luckily, the girls were rescued by agents and were taken to the Santa Teresa Border Patrol Station with the record of 16,000 children who have crossed the border.
