A left-leaning article by CNN highlights that the federal government has more than 14,000 migrant children in its custody, but they continue to insist that what is happening on the southern border does not constitute a “crisis.” Briefing reporters on Thursday, senior administration officials insisted it was former President Trump’s policies that left them in the current predicament.
The Hill published a centrist article reporting that the push by GOP members comes as Republicans hammer Democrats over the rising number of migrants and warned of increased criminal activity.

A right-leaning article by Fox News highlights that Biden administration officials said that Biden was wrong not to acknowledge the border “crisis.” However, president of the National Border Patrol Council Brandon Judd said that a week ago he “would not have called this a crisis.”
