The child migrant crisis gripping the United States-Mexico border is far from over, according to a scoop from Axios published Monday. The sharp increase in unaccompanied minors crossing the border seeking asylum or the ability to stay in the United States is expected to last at least another seven months, and the Biden administration is projecting that the number of child migrants crossing monthly could go above 25,000.
The Biden administration is already struggling to handle an influx of unaccompanied child migrants, opening additional border detention facilities and begging Department of Homeland Security employees to volunteer for border duty. On Sunday, The Daily Wire reported that the administration has waived FBI background checks for facility employees, temporarily halting a practice that is supposed to protect immigrant minors from falling victim to exploitation and abuse.
