The initial surge of unaccompanied children to the border grabbed the nation’s attention in March 2021 as 18,700 children came across that month — more than all of 2010.Under Biden, the federal government has averaged more than 10,000 children in federal holding facilities daily. Each day, another 250 to 600 children are apprehended at the border, typically facilitated by smugglers paid by the family.
"Incentivized by President Biden’s weak, open border policies, children are being sent on a traumatic journey exposed to the elements and placed in unimaginable danger by human smugglers who don’t see a person, but, rather, only dollar signs," Katko added. In all, 262,756 minor children crossed the border alone since February 2021 — Biden's first full month in the Oval Office. Of those, 40,319 were Mexican and would have automatically been returned south under a 2008 trafficking law that protects children from removal when they are from countries other than Canada and Mexico, leaving about 85% of remaining children detained and discharged into the U.S. to adults, according to Border Patrol data.
The trend of unaccompanied minors crossing the southern border began in the early 2010s. The Obama administration faced record-high child arrivals in 2014 as more than 68,000 children were apprehended.
