In fact, experts predict that the ongoing immigration \u201csurge\u201d could continue throughout the summer.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/04\/30\/us\/politics\/biden-border-children.html\">New York Times reported over the weekend<\/a> that the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Health and Human Services have only recently begun to see success in their efforts to move and house the thousands of children who are still in DHS and HHS custody.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government on Friday reported a more than 80 percent drop over the past month in the number of migrant children in Border Patrol custody, down to 790 on Thursday,\u201d the Times reported. \u201cA month ago, 5,767 migrant children were in Border Patrol custody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-axufdj evys1bk0\">\u201cAnd the length of time children are staying in border cells has decreased as well, to an average of 28 hours in recent days from 133 hours a month ago,\u201d the outlet continued. \u201cFederal law mandates that migrant children be transferred out of Border Patrol custody within 72 hours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those children, though, are still in United States custody, just transferred to HHS holding facilities across the southwest, \u201cincluding in convention centers in Dallas and San Diego, an expo center in San Antonio, and a military site and a former camp for oil workers in Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs of Thursday, more than 22,500 children were in the custody of the Health and Human Services Department, compared with the 11,886 a month ago,\u201d the Times noted. \u201cEfforts to unite them with family members in the country have been seeing more success,\u201d the outlet continued, but the number of children being discharged from US custody is in the hundreds, not the thousands.<\/p>\n<p>There is a separate issue with family reunification, though: immigration activists say the Biden administration is not responsible for reunifying the families but is taking all the credit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite what Secretary Mayorkas would have the public believe, DHS has done nothing to facilitate the return and reunification of these parents this week, other than to agree to allow them in. The only reason these mothers will be standing at the port of entry is because Al Otro Lado negotiated their travel visas with the Mexican government, paid for their airline tickets, and arranged for reunification,\u201d Carol Anne Donohoe, managing attorney of Al Otro Lado\u2019s Family Reunification Project, told ABC News.<\/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.
