On Saturday, a group of nine Republican senators sent a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.grassley.senate.gov\/imo\/media\/doc\/Judiciary%20Republicans%20to%20DHS%20HHS%20(Border%20Crisis%203.19.21).pdf\"> letter<\/a> to the Biden administration, condemning its handling over the ongoing border crisis.<\/p>\n<p>The effort was led by Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), with signatures of support by other GOP committee members Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.).<\/p>\n<p>Writing to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, lawmakers said regardless of what the Biden administration wants to call the current set of circumstances, it has created a surge in illegal immigration, carrying with it significant risks. Officials said they\u2019d like clarity on how DHS and HHS are addressing the matter.<\/p>\n<p>This came after a group of more than 40 House GOP lawmakers, also in a letter to Becerra, said congressional Republicans are focused on addressing the thousands of unaccompanied migrant children. The group contended lawmakers need more information from the agency, such as details about capacity needs and plans to address the surge while prioritizing health.<\/p>\n<p>Gov. Doug Ducey (R-Ariz.) also lashed out against the Biden White House, noting they\u2019re at the rate of reaching the highest number of apprehensions on the border in the last 20 years.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2389706\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2389706\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2389706\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/fb_image-2488.jpeg\" alt=\"FILE - In this Dec. 2, 2020, file photo, Arizona Republican Gov.
