A week ago, there were roughly 400 people in that camp, but now that number is around 14,000 \u2013 almost half the population of Del Rio itself.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Reports show the majority of those in the camp are Haitains who\u2019ve been living for years in Central and South America, and are coming to the U.S. now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Immigration officials say they\u2019re completely overwhelmed by the surge and have no way to process everyone coming in. 400 customs and border agents were rushed into the city to help stem the flow, and on Sunday, they reportedly sent three flights of detainees back to Haiti\u2019s capital, but there are still well over 10,000 people in the camp.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A Shift: <\/b><span>Two years ago, 64% of illegal immigrants caught at the border were coming as part of a family unit, but that number\u2019s been cut nearly in half now, and the majority of those detained are single adults, mainly men. Just 38% of those detained at the border are coming as part of a family unit.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Texas Vs. Biden Administration&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>On Thursday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) said Customs and Border Protection asked for help securing 6 points of entry in the state that had been overwhelmed by migrants. He immediately responded by mobilizing state law enforcement and national guard units to the border. However, six hours later, Abbott said the Biden administration stepped in and reversed the decision, saying Texas officials weren\u2019t in fact needed.<\/span><b>&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>The governor called the move a \u201cflip flop,\u201d and announced that he\u2019d be keeping his people at the border anyway to serve as a deterrent against more illegal immigration. On Sunday, Texas law enforcement flooded the city of Del Rio where migrants were continuing to cross the border, and set up a barrier with their vehicles. For the most part that move seems to have helped stem the flow, as the surge of new migrants in the area has slowed. He also signed into law a measure that would allocate an additional $2 billion to border security.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why Now?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>The Biden Administration and Democrat officials say the surge is happening because of the poor living conditions in the home countries of these migrants. They also claim other factors like climate change have played a role in driving migrants out of Central and Latin America.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Republicans say the poor conditions in those countries are not anything new, but what is new is America\u2019s stance on allowing illegal immigrants to enter the country. They also say it\u2019s not a coincidence that the number of migrants attempting to enter the country illegally surged in the months after President Biden took office.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Numbers<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>In August, there were 208,000 migrant encounters at the southern border \u2013 a 317% increase over last August. Officials say they haven\u2019t seen this many people at the border in over 20 years. There\u2019s also been a huge surge in the number of migrants allowed to stay.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Last July under President Trump, 92% of those detained at the border were expelled from the country. This July, only 47% were expelled.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_287766\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"32\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-287766\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-287766\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Jens-SchlueterStringerGetty-Images.jpg\" alt width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/09\/Jens-SchlueterStringerGetty-Images.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dw-wp-production.imgix.net\/2021\/09\/Jens-SchlueterStringerGetty-Images-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-287766\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jens Schlueter\/Stringer\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>2) <\/b><b>Booster Shots Could Impact Biden Approval Ratings<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>The Topline:&nbsp; <\/b><span>In a possible blow to the Biden Administration, F<\/span><span>DA advisors say they do not recommend Covid vaccine booster shots for most people in the U.S., potentially affecting public opinion on the president\u2019s handling of Covid-19.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The FDA<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>An influential FDA advisory committee on Friday rejected a plan to recommend booster shots of the Pfizer vaccine for Americans 16 and older.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The advisors did say, however, that they recommend boosters for people 65 and older and other Americans who are at high risk for serious illness from COVID-19.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Remember: <\/b><span>This is just a recommendation, and the FDA is not required to follow it, but the FDA often takes the advice of this committee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Biden Administration&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>The Biden administration previously said it wanted to start offering booster shots to the general public as early as this week if the FDA approved them, which now appears unlikely. Before the advisors gave their opinion, at least two FDA scientists had warned they weren\u2019t sure booster shots are the way to go, saying the data doesn\u2019t clearly show they\u2019re necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This latest setback comes as the administration is facing increased resistance to their vaccine mandates.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Some politicians, as well as employers, are fighting back against President Biden\u2019s vaccine mandate for employers with 100 or more employees, and in the past few days, multiple high-profile celebrities have also spoken out against mandates.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Biden\u2019s Approval Rating<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>On Friday, the same day the FDA made its recommendation against<\/span> <span>booster shots, Biden was dealing with several negative headlines, including at the border and lingering criticisms<\/span><span> about Afghanistan.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to Real Clear Politics\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/epolls\/other\/president-biden-job-approval-7320.html\"><span>average<\/span><\/a><span> of polls, the president\u2019s job approval ratings are underwater, dropping to under 46%.
