"Federal Judge Upholds Biden's Migrant Parole Program, Rejects GOP Lawsuits"

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas defended the Biden administration's policy to allow up to 30,000 migrants to be flown into the U.S. each month as a "key element" of their border strategy, following a legal win. The policy, which survived a lawsuit, allows Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans to fly directly into the U.S. as long as they meet certain criteria. Despite criticism and record encounters at the border, the administration maintains that the program is a safe and orderly way to address the migration crisis and urges migrants to use legal pathways.

"Biden's Border Strategy Crumbles as Migrant Numbers Reach Record Highs"

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced that September saw the highest monthly encounters and fiscal year total on record at the southern border, with 269,735 migrant encounters and a total of 2.48 million migrants for FY 23. The numbers highlight the challenges faced by the Biden administration's border strategy, which aimed to reassert consequences for illegal entry while expanding lawful pathways for migrants. The administration has requested $14 billion in funding for its border strategy, including more staffing and resources. The surge in numbers has led to criticism from both Republicans and Democrats, with concerns about the strain on resources and the potential security risks.

Biden's Border Strategy Tested as Migrant Crossings Surge

The number of migrants apprehended after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally has surged to near-record levels in September, posing a significant challenge to the Biden administration's migration strategy. Border Patrol agents apprehended approximately 140,000 migrants in the first 20 days of September, averaging about 6,900 each day, a 60% increase from July. The administration's policies aimed at discouraging unauthorized entries, such as redirecting migrants to legal migration programs and imposing stricter asylum rules, have not been effective in curbing the influx. The spike in migration has strained federal and local resources, leading to overcrowding in facilities and impacting cities like New York. The Biden administration has announced plans to increase deportations and send additional troops to the southern border for logistical support.
