It is believed that around 15,500 children remain in United States Customs and Border Protection custody in dozens of facilities scattered across the southwest, in many cases, packed shoulder to shoulder in temporary holding pens, often for longer than the 72-hour period allowed by court order.<\/p>\n<p>Although administration officials have pledged to handle the situation, Vice President Kamala Harris, placed in charge of the border crisis, has yet to hold a press conference on the subject and has no plans to tour border facilities, despite being pressured to make an appearance by both Arizona and Texas officials.<\/p>\n<p>A Sunday report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/white-house\/confusion-clouds-harris-immigration-role-n1263671\">NBC News claims that Harris<\/a> has been focused on \u201cbehind-the-scenes work, reading up on the issues and attending meetings with experts.\u201d She spent last week, however, touring vaccine facilities in Chicago, touting President Joe Biden\u2019s jobs and gun control plans, and attending \u201ceconomic briefings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/crisis-record-numer-of-migrants-taken-into-custody-at-southern-border-in-march-highest-number-of-child-migrants-ever-recorded\">Daily Wire reported that the Biden administration was considering paying residents<\/a> of certain Central American countries not to join migrant caravans, but so far, the White House\u2019s response to the crisis has been severely limited.<\/p>\n<p>CBS News reports that there are clues to the Biden administration\u2019s immigration strategy in its \u201cdiscretionary funding request\u201d submitted to Congress on Friday \u2014 but the funding document makes little mention of border security. Instead, it demands billions to help with \u201crefugee resettlement\u201d and temporary housing for child migrants and to speed up the asylum adjudication process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe White House on Friday unveiled the president\u2019s $1.5 trillion&nbsp;discretionary funding request&nbsp;for fiscal year 2022, which serves a preview for a more comprehensive spending plan expected in the late spring. The preliminary spending request to Congress includes several multi-billion-dollar immigration-related allocations for the Departments of Homeland Security, State, and Health and Human Services,\u201d the outlet reported.\u201dThe proposal allocates $52 billion for the Department of Homeland Security, roughly the same amount provided in 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although the Biden administration was reportedly considering a plan to finish the Trump administration\u2019s border wall, the funding request notes only that the White House is looking for funding for \u201c\u2018effective and modern\u2019 border security\u201d measures, \u201cincluding plans to revamp ports of entry, expand technology, curtail human and drug smuggling and improve the processing of migrants and asylum-seekers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe request submitted to Congress does not include any funds for wall or barrier construction along the U.S.-Mexico border, which Mr. Biden halted on Inauguration Day,\u201d CBS News notes. \u201cIn fact, the plan calls for unused border wall construction funds allocated in 2021 to be canceled.\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.
