According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/newsroom\/stats\/cbp-enforcement-statistics\"><span>enforcement statistics<\/span><\/a><span> from Customs and Border Protection (CBP), as of March 2021, CBP agents interacted with 551,614 migrants. In the entire fiscal year of 2020, the U.S.-Mexico border saw 405,036 migrants cross the border.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In the month of March, CBP agents also saw a dramatic uptick in drug trafficking over the southern border. CBP data claims that there were 4,089 pounds of drugs being smuggled over the border in March. In comparison, over the past six months, the second-highest amount of drugs apprehended was 2,979 pounds.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Biden campaigned on ending the construction of Trump\u2019s border wall and opening the southern border for increased migration. According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2021\/apr\/5\/dhs-may-restart-border-wall-construction-plug-gaps\/\"><span>Washington Times<\/span><\/a><span>, the administration is now backtracking on its promises to halt construction of the border wall. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said that the administration is now considering filling the \u201cgaps in the wall\u201d at the border, despite aggressively condemning the notion of a border wall under Trump.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The administration refuses to say the word \u201ccrisis\u201d and has instead dubbed what is happening at the border a \u201cchallenge.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Biden\u2019s approach to the border \u201cchallenge\u201d appears to be throwing cash at the problem. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/biden-to-spend-86-million-hotel-rooms-migrants-near-border-2021-3\"><span>Business Insider<\/span><\/a><span>, Biden is spending $86.9 million on hotel rooms for migrants. The administration has unveiled further spending plans in its \u201cdiscretionary funding request\u201d submitted Friday, April 9. The funding request seeks $1.5 trillion \u2014 billion of which will be used to house and resettle migrants.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The loudest criticism of the Biden administration\u2019s failure on the immigration crisis is Biden and Vice President, border czar Kamala Harris\u2019s unwillingness to visit the border. Following the criticism, Harris <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/vp-harris-planning-trip-to-mexico-guatemala-to-deal-with-the-root-causes-of-border-crisis\"><span>announced<\/span><\/a><span> that she plans to visit Guatemala and Mexico to trace the \u201croot causes\u201d of the immigration crisis, though she has no plans to travel to the U.S.-Mexico border.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
