According to a Homeland Security Department memo, the Pentagon will send staff to manage an enormous expected surge on the southern border following the repeal of Title 42, a Trump administration border security measure, the <i>Washington Free Beacon<\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/pentagon-could-send-staff-to-border-to-meet-migrant-surge-following-title-42-repeal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> Tuesday. Defense Department officials <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/05\/02\/politics\/us-troops-border-migrant-surge\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">confirmed<\/a> the same day that the administration will send &#8220;1,500 active-duty troops to the U.S.-Mexico border in anticipation of an influx of migrants,&#8221; according to CNN.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The active-duty Army units will assist Border Patrol and will be armed,&#8221; <i>National Review<\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/news\/biden-orders-1500-soldiers-to-southern-border-ahead-of-title-42-expiration\/?utm_source=email&#038;utm_medium=breaking&#038;utm_campaign=newstrack&#038;utm_term=31351587\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>. In addition to the Army, 2,500 active-duty National Guardsmen are already stationed at the border.<\/p>\n<p>The Border Patrol, which last year faced a record-high number of encounters with illegal immigrants, may now have to deal with up to 15,000 migrants per day. By comparison, the whole month of March 2022 &#8220;saw an average of roughly 5,200 daily illegal border crossings,&#8221; the <i>Free Beacon<\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/biden-dhs-chief-admits-the-end-of-title-42-will-strain-immigration-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>. An unprecedented 5.5 million immigrants have already illegally crossed the border since Harris&#8217;s boss, President Joe Biden, took office.\t<\/p>\n<p>Harris, who is ostensibly in charge of managing the administration&#8217;s response to the crisis, has only been to the border <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/kamala-harris-border-scandal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">once<\/a>, in June 2021.

Instead, she talked about green energy projects.<\/p>\n<p>Even as the crisis worsens by the day, Biden administration officials, including Harris, have insisted that the border is secure. One day before the Pentagon confirmed the troop movement, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/watch-karine-jean-pierre-claims-border-crisis-is-90-solved-as-biden-deploys-troops\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">falsely claimed<\/a> that &#8220;illegal migration&#8221;
