Don't look now but there's still a crisis at the US-Mexico border.
Back during the Clinton, Bush, & Obama-eras of the Federal government, Democrats spoke about fixing the mess at our border.
Based on recent evidence, it's certainly not getting better - so why do they no longer care about solving this problem?
In 2019 over 375,000 illegal immigrants were detained and released by our Border Patrol, including 145,000 between the months of March & September.
The Washington Examiner reports:
Border Patrol made the unusual move last March of releasing people directly from its custody rather than turning people over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE cited two issues that made it difficult to hold families: it lacked the bed space and a 2015 court ruling blocked it from detaining families more than 20 days.
Because the 145,000 family members released by Border Patrol were not transferred to ICE, they were released with a legal document known as a notice to appear. The document states when they should show up for a hearing to determine if they will be returned to the county of origin. An additional 230,000 family members were sent to ICE and then released from ICE facilities, according to an ICE spokesperson.
