Yet, to this day, there has been no action from this administration, and it doesn\u2019t look like they are going to act any time soon,\u201d he added. \u201cIf this administration isn\u2019t going to do anything, then we will.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/arizona-gov-ducey-national-guard-southern-border\">Fox News noted Wednesday that Ducey<\/a> has been playing with the idea of deploying the National Guard since March, following reports that the Biden administration was facing an unprecedented number of unaccompanied minors presenting themselves at the southern border, forcing Customs and Border Patrol to care for thousands more children than it is equipped to handle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDeployment of the National Guard is critical to dealing with this crisis, and we are actively engaged in planning with the Guard,\u201d a spokesman for the governor reportedly told the network last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Guard will be involved with installing and maintaining border cameras, collecting data, analyzing imagery for trends in border crossings, and helping with operations at detention centers,\u201d Ducey\u2019s office told Fox.<\/p>\n<p>The decision picked up support from an unlikely place \u2014 Arizona\u2019s Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly \u2014 who said that after visiting \u201cYuma Sector and speaking with Border Patrol and other local leaders,\u201d that \u201cit\u2019s clear that their resources and staffing are strained.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are important missions that the Arizona National Guard can perform at the border and the governor calling them up will provide assistance to both local law enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security,\u201d Kelly added in his own statement on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>Fox noted that the United States Customs and Border Protection agency (CBP) encountered nearly 200,000 migrants at the United States\u2019 southern border in just March. \u201cThat\u2019s up from 103,731 in March 2019 and 50,347 in March 2018,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/bidens-surge-at-the-southern-border-11618008456\">Wall Street Journal<\/a> said in its own report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat includes a record 18,890 unaccompanied children, compared to 9,380 in March 2019 and 5,244 in March 2018. CBP also reported 53,623 encounters with family units last month, a 173% increase over February and the most since the peak of the 2019 border crisis,\u201d the WSJ added. In 2020 the pandemic kept numbers low.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>President Joe Biden briefly referred to the situation as a \u201ccrisis\u201d over the weekend but was officially corrected by his press secretary, Jen Psaki, on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president does not feel that children coming to our border seeking refuge from violence, economic hardships, and other dire circumstances is a crisis,\u201d she said, explaining the president\u2019s off-the-cuff remark.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the global community has taken notice of the increase in child immigration. UNICEF, the United Nations child welfare organization, reported noticing a \u201csurge\u201d in child migrants in March, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-latin-america-56810672\">according to the BBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ssrcss-uf6wea-RichTextComponentWrapper e1xue1i83\" data-component=\"text-block\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-3z08n3-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi2\">\n<p>\u201cThe number of migrant children trying to reach the US from Mexico has increased ninefold since the start of 2021, UN children\u2019s agency Unicef says,\u201d per the British state news agency. \u201cThe rise from 380 to nearly 3,500 has overwhelmed the facilities at Mexico\u2019s reception centers, it says. The children are mainly from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Mexico itself.
