CBP encountered nearly 210,000 illegal immigrants at the border in July, and more than 15,000 of those were unaccompanied child migrants \u2014 also a record.<\/p>\n<p>The unaccompanied migrant children have posed a major conundrum for the Biden Administration, not simply because they require housing and can only be held in border patrol custody for just over two days, but because CBP has struggled to effectively test child migrants for the COVID-19 virus, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/immigration\/cbp-not-testing-migrant-children-covid-border-stations-though-many-n1262059\">according to NBC News<\/a>, once they are in custody.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCustoms and Border Protection is not testing migrant children packed into overcrowded border stations for Covid-19, Biden administration officials,\u201d according to a March report, \u201cthough more than 100 have tested positive after being transferred from those facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Biden Administration is reportedly holding around 15,000 minors in temporary detention facilities.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
