US-Mexico border sees 71 percent increase in migrant crossings

Al Jazeera  

New data showed that 18,890 unaccompanied children crossed into the US during March, double the rate in February. More than 172,000 migrants were apprehended along the United States’s southern border with Mexico during the month of March, according to official records released on Thursday, a 71 percent increase from February. “Joe Biden created this crisis,” House Republican Whip Steve Scalise who is leading a delegation of 10 Republican House members on a two-day tour of the southern border told Fox News on Thursday. The Biden administration has pushed back against the criticism and its officials said it is important to implement “humane” border policies and for the US to help address the root causes of migration. Most migrants showing up at the US border are from the so-called “Northern Triangle”: Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador – three Central American countries that battle poverty, gang violence and corruption.
