President\u200b Biden also sent 1,500 soldiers to the border in May \u200cto serve \u200dadministrative and \u200btransport roles. <\/p>\n<p>With large numbers of people \u200bcoming across the border daily, Republicans have become concerned with the type of people who are evading Border Patrol\u2062 agents.
