In a surprising turn of events, President Biden returned from his much-needed vacation, sporting a rather sunburned face last night. As he made his way past reporters, the first question thrown his way was regarding the pressing issue of immigration, specifically the escalating crisis at the southern border.
In response to the overwhelming number of migrants encountered by border patrol, which reached a record 302,000 in December alone, President Biden plans to reopen four ports of entry that have been closed. These ports, located in Texas, California, and Arizona, were shuttered due to the inability of the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to handle the increasing influx of migrants. Since October 1st, a staggering 785,000 migrants have arrived at the border.
