Biden claims 'we've now gotten control' of migrant surge at southern border, amid criticism
Fox News
President Biden, in an interview this week, claimed that his administration has "now gotten control" of the high number of migrants surging at the southern border -- while again blaming the Trump administration for the crisis that overwhelmed officials in recent months.
While the number of unaccompanied child migrants in Border Patrol custody has decreased rapidly in recent weeks from the thousands to the hundreds, there are still more than 22,000 in the custody of Health and Human Services (HHS) overall, with little sign of any of those being returned to their countries. And initial numbers on migrant encounters at the border for April appear to be around the same as the sky-high numbers in March -- even as they appear to be leveling off. "Well, look. It's way down now," Biden said when pressed on the number of children in custody. "We've now gotten control."
