Instead, Biden returned to a \u201ccatch-and-release\u201d policy in which illegal aliens are allowed to enter the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, the flow of foreigners to the border exploded. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents apprehended nearly 100,000 people at the border in February. Last April, just more than 16,000 were captured at the border, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2021\/03\/15\/migrant-apprehensions-at-u-s-mexico-border-are-surging-again\/\">according<\/a> to Pew data.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Team Biden is blaming former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden officials claim Trump officials did not fully cooperate with his transition team, hindering their ability get a realistic view of potential migration, and that Trump deconstructed the immigration and asylum system \u2013 which they then inherited,\u201d The Daily Mail <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-9385307\/Biden-officials-blame-Trump-border-crisis-15-000-unaccompanied-kids-custody.html\">reported<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we were coming into the administration, we knew we were inheriting an absolute mess from the previous administration \u2014 that there were aspects of our legal immigration system that had been gutted and a department that lacked the personnel to administer our laws,\u201d said Julie Chavez Rodriguez, the director of the White House\u2019s office of intergovernmental affairs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/03\/20\/politics\/immigration-border-crisis-biden-administration\/index.html\">according<\/a> to CNN.<\/p>\n<p>An unnamed administration official reportedly said: \u201cWhen we came into office, like, it was a disaster. I mean, really. The staffing wasn\u2019t in place, the structures weren\u2019t in place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But former acting CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan told CNN that the Biden transition team was \u201cspecifically warned again and again and again,\u201d adding that officials even modeled a projected increase in border encounters&nbsp; if Trump policies were withdrawn.<\/p>\n<p>Still, a Biden official said they were ready for an influx. \u201cWere we prepared? Yes,\u201d the official told CNN. \u201cEveryone wants to be like \u2018crisis, crisis, crisis, crisis\u2019 \u2014 but it\u2019s like, you know what, actually, things are going really well. Yes, we brought in FEMA, but you know what? That was the responsible thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The blame game comes as the Biden administration is reportedly considering releasing illegal aliens into the U.S. without issuing a Notice to Appear (NTA) \u2014 meaning they will depart custody without a court date, Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/border-patrol-rio-grande-valley-considering-releasing-migrants-into-u-s-without-court-date\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuch a decision would be unprecedented if enacted and would place the responsibility of seeking an asylum hearing on the migrants through Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or legal assistance,\u201d Fox reported.<\/p>\n<p>Immigrants who are swarming to the U.S.-Mexico border say Biden \u201cpromised\u201d them they would be allowed to enter the country, according to recent reports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden promised us that everything was going to change,\u201d Gladys Oneida P\u00e9rez Cruz, a woman who traveled to the border with her son, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/03\/14\/world\/americas\/mexico-border-biden.html\">told<\/a> The New York Times. \u201cHe hasn\u2019t done it yet, but he is going to be a good president for migrants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Times said another woman in tears at the border said, \u201cBiden promised us!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After weeks of claiming all is well, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) last week acknowledged that \u201crecord numbers\u201d of foreigners are overwhelming U.S. agencies, prompting the department to call in help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe federal government is responding to the arrival of record numbers of individuals, including unaccompanied children, at the southwest border. Since April 2020, the number of encounters at the border has been rising due to ongoing violence, natural disasters, food insecurity, and poverty in the Northern Triangle countries of Central America,\u201d the DHS said. \u201cThe federal government is working around the clock to move unaccompanied children from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to the Department of Health and Human Services\u2019 (HHS) care and to place them with a family member or sponsor until their immigration case is adjudicated.&nbsp; The risks posed by the spread of COVID-19 have made this mission all the more difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) last week dubbed the situation the \u201cBiden border crisis\u201d and said some foreigners wore shirts saying \u201cBiden, let us in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoe Biden and the Democrats \u2026 they don\u2019t believe in borders. They don\u2019t, therefore, think it is a crisis. They think this is a feature not a bug of their policy. They\u2019ve literally turned detention centers \u2014 that are designed to turn people away at our borders \u2014 into reception centers. That\u2019s what they\u2019re gonna\u2019 call them. What signal is that going to send? We\u2019ve seen migrants wearing their shirts that say, \u2018Biden, let us in,&#8217;\u201d Cotton said.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
