There, Biden is below the 50% mark for approval on his handling of immigration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[J]ust 34% of Americans approve of Biden\u2019s handling of immigration, while 53% disapprove. A majority of independents and even a quarter of Democrats disapprove of the job he\u2019s doing on the issue,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/03\/30\/982434413\/npr-marist-poll-biden-gets-high-marks-on-covid-19-its-not-the-case-on-immigratio\">NPR reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/biden-receives-high-marks-covid-19-lags-immigration\/story?id=76722985\">ABC News poll puts Biden even further underwater<\/a>, with a shocking 57% of respondents telling the network they do not approve of the job President Biden is doing on immigration.<\/p>\n<p>Biden, the network said, \u201cis facing some early tests in his first two months in office, finding himself underwater for his handling of gun violence after two mass shootings&nbsp;in a week and the&nbsp;surge of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, which has brought at least 18,000 unaccompanied children into U.S. custody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn equal 57% of Americans disapprove of his approach on both issues, while just over 4 in 10 Americans approve,\u201d ABC News reported.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration has been somewhat successful in keeping the child migrant crisis out of the headlines, but after weeks of stalling, has finally caved to pressure to allow media tours of migrant facilities operating well over capacity. On Wednesday, the Biden administration allowed, for the first time, a pool reporter and photographer to depict life inside one of the detention camps, where children are packed shoulder to shoulder in small rooms.<\/p>\n<p>At the current moment, an estimated 15,500 unaccompanied minors are in Customs and Border Protection custody spread across several states, including California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Florida. The Biden administration is reportedly working to expand the number of detention facilities available.<\/p>\n<p>Vice President Kamala Harris was charged, late last week, with overseeing the situation at the border. She has yet to hold a press conference on the subject and her spokesperson told reporters on Friday that she has no plans to visit the detention facilities and will, instead, pursue \u201cdiplomacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
