"Surge in Illegal Border Crossings: Thousands of Migrants Overwhelm US Border"

The number of migrants illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border has been steadily increasing, with over 7,500 migrants apprehended on Sunday alone. This rise may indicate that the Biden administration's new policies, which initially kept numbers low, are having less of an impact. The policies make it harder for migrants to seek asylum at the border and easier for them to seek lawful entry from their home countries. Certain sectors of the border, such as the Rio Grande Valley and Del Rio, Texas, have been more affected, leading to overcrowding and the release of migrants onto the streets. The number of migrant children crossing with and without adults is also on the rise.
