<p>President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> told reporters Wednesday at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport that it&#8217;s his &#8220;intention&#8221; to visit the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/border-crisis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">southern border</a> for the first time since taking office nearly two years ago.</p>
<p>Reporters asked Biden about the border while the president promoted his administration&#8217;s infrastructure agenda at Kentucky&#8217;s Brent Spence Bridge.</p>
<p>“We’re working out the details now,” Biden said.</p>
<p>Amid a record-breaking number of illegal immigrants crossing into the United States from Mexico, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-says-its-his-intention-visit-u-s-mexico-border-amid-historic-crisis?intcmp=tw_fnc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Biden said he intends to visit the border during his trip to the North American Leaders&#8217; Summit on January 9-10, where he has meetings with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.</p>
<p>Sources allegedly told The Wall Street Journal that Biden would not make a policy announcement if he visited the border.</p>
<p class="css-xbvutc-Paragraph e3t0jlg0" data-type="paragraph">White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said repeatedly in a recent press briefing that the president&#8217;s current focus &#8220;is to come up with solutions … making sure that we have the resources to manage what — the challenges that we’re seeing at the border.”</p>
<p class="css-xbvutc-Paragraph e3t0jlg0" data-type="paragraph">“If congressional Republicans are serious about dealing with the challenges that we’re seeing at the border, they will assist,” she said, according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-considers-visit-to-u-s-mexico-border-11672857497?mod=e2tw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wall Street Journal</a>.</p>
<p>The president&#8217;s remarks come after he told reporters last month that &#8220;there are more important things going on&#8221; than visiting the U.S. southern border while in Arizona to tout Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.&#8217;s announcement of a second manufacturing chip plant in the Grand Canyon State.</p>
<p>Under Biden&#8217;s rule, his administration has done away with Trump-era immigration policies, which have resulted in a higher number of overall encounters at the border.</p>
<p>Pew Research <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/geotracking-data-reveals-ngos-facilitated-released-more-than-30000-illegal-immigrants-nationwide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> the U.S. Border Patrol reported encounters with migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border in the 2021 fiscal year were more than quadruple the number of the prior fiscal year and the highest annual total on record.</p>
<p>The U.S. saw 2,378,944 encounters at the border in fiscal year 2022, excluding the nearly 600,000 known &#8220;gotaways&#8221; who escaped custody altogether.</p>
<p>Customs and Border Protection sources reported that authorities encounter an average of 6,858 crossings daily.</p>
<p>By some estimates, there have been more than 4.5 million encounters at the border under the Biden administration alone. Millions of those individuals have been released into the U.S.</p>
<p>Biden&#8217;s potential visit also comes after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 last week to keep the pandemic-era limit on immigration, referred to as Title 42, in place indefinitely, which allows officials to turn away migrants at the border to prevent the spread of COVID.</p>
<p>Justice Neil Gorsuch, the only dissenting conservative justice to join all of the Supreme Court&#8217;s liberal justices in Tuesday&#8217;s ruling, said, &#8220;the current border crisis is not a COVID crisis.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And courts should not be in the business of perpetuating administrative edicts designed for one emergency only because elected officials have failed to address a different emergency,&#8221; Gorsuch <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-supreme-court-rules-to-keep-title-42-in-place-indefinitely" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>. &#8220;We are a court of law, not policymakers of last resort.&#8221;</p>
<p>Customs and Border Protection officials warned lawmakers that approximately 50,000 foreigners were waiting to cross into the United States once Title 42 ended.</p>
<p>The Biden administration has pushed for the pandemic-era policy to end as immigration advocates filed lawsuits arguing Title 42 is outdated since COVID treatments have improved and that it &#8220;goes against American and international obligations to people fleeing to the U.S. to escape persecution.&#8221;</p>
