Approximately 15,500 children are currently in border patrol custody \u2014 the exact number is unknown \u2014 and many border patrol facilities are operating at between five and ten times their capacity.<\/p>\n<p>The number of migrants apprehended at the border is only growing. So far in March, 50% more individuals are being apprehended at the border each day than on any given day in February. According to estimates being circulated within the Biden administration, by September, border patrol agents could be apprehending between 500,000 and 800,000 illegal immigrants per month \u2014 a huge strain on resources.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration has pledged to open more detention facilities and is working on ways to process families quickly, as the number of adults and children presenting as complete families has also increased, and family groups are subject to strict detention limitations put in place by the courts during the Obama administration. Over the weekend, the Biden administration suspended a requirement that individuals caring for children at the border pass an FBI background check in order to get more people to assist at temporary holding facilities.<\/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.
