The southern border is experiencing a surge in migrant encounters, with a record-breaking 12,600 encounters in 24 hours.

The Biden administration’s plan to control the flow involved migrants waiting in another country to apply for asylum, but the backlog for immigration hearings has reached 3 million names. (Trending: Supreme Court Delivers Historic Ruling on AR-15s)
