More granularly, law enforcement at the border apprehended 47,000 migrants this past week.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/breaking-trudeau-says-his-immigration-policies-have-inflamed-housing-crisis-woes\">Immigration<\/a> was one of the Biden Administration&#8217;s first challenges. When the newly-elected president arrived at the Oval Office in January 2020, the border had already become a hot-button in Donald Trump\u2019s presidency. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>The task soon fell to <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/kamala-harris-says-media-would-treat-her-better-if-she-were-a-white-man\">Vice President Kamala Harris<\/a>, the administration&#8217;s lead on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/03\/24\/kamala-harris-immigration-border-surge-477810\"> immigration<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>Harris stressed the importance of addressing root causes, saying she wanted to work with Mexico and other Latin-American countries to tackle the problem from a holistic perspective.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>&#8220;[Harris] is going to be focused on overseeing our diplomatic efforts, working closely with these nations to look at the issues of migration and their own enforcement on their own borders,&#8221; said a White House announcement at the time. &#8220;More broadly, though, she\u2019s going to be working to implement a long-term strategy that gets at the root causes of migration.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>But many of these root causes weren\u2019t purely matters of diplomacy or border funding. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2021\/03\/07\/migrant-surge-border-crossings-reasons\">Economic pressures<\/a> from the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters drove hundreds of thousands of immigrants northwards from countries like Guatemala, Mexico, Haiti, and others. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/2021\/09\/20\/bidens-mixed-messaging-immigration-brings-surge-haitian-migrants-texas-border\/\">Mixed messaging<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/it-took-the-biden-administration-6-months-of-research-to-come-up-with-ultra-maga\">the Biden administration<\/a> gave many travellers hope that Biden would open US borders, a contrast to Trump&#8217;s policies.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>Immigration concerns lessened in April 2020. Border agents apprehended only 16,182 illegal crossers. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>In just one year, that picture has changed dramatically. Presently, the immigration crisis continues to worsen with cities like El Paso prepared to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.borderreport.com\/hot-topics\/title-42\/el-paso-to-declare-immigration-emergency\/\">declare a state of emergency<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>As the record-breaking numbers continue to plague authorities at the border, American officials worry that Title 42 \u2014 more commonly known as the &#8220;stay in Mexico&#8221; policy \u2014 is nearing the end of its life. Without an extension, unlikely to come from the Biden Administration or a democratically-controlled Congress, immigrants will no longer have to stay on the Mexican border as officials process their request for asylum.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus, in a written statement Tuesday releasing the April Southwest Land Border Encounters report, said US officials would not dismiss the issue lightly.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>&#8220;The fact is that our borders are not open, and we will continue to remove those who enter our country unlawfully and have no legal basis to stay.
