The Biden administration has reportedly penned thousands of illegal immigrant children in federal facilities following a massive surge of immigration at the southern U.S. border — a striking reversal from the anguished immigration rhetoric of the Biden-Harris campaign, which mourned it as a "national shame" when "children are locked away in overcrowded detention centers and the government seeks to keep them there indefinitely."

Immigration officials are reportedly holding more than 3,200 migrant children, many of them in "facilities akin to jails," according to the New York Times.

Multiple media outlets reported that many of the detained children were being held past the statutory deadline for such detainment, and in shelters that were originally built to house adults.

Border crisis: Record number of migrant children being held in 'grim' cage-like 'cells' for longer than is legal

It's bad and getting worse

While the Biden administration continues to publicly deny that there is a "crisis" at the U.S. southern border, new information continues to surface every day demonstrating just how grave the situation is. Unprecedented numbers of illegal immigrants are surging into the country in anticipation of more lenient treatment under President Biden, but the administration is woefully unprepared to manage the rapid influx.

In a shocking report published Wednesday, the Washington Post didn't shy away from characterizing the situation as a "crisis," noting its "magnitude came into clearer focus Wednesday as the new administration was holding record numbers of unaccompanied migrant teens and children in detention cells for far longer than legally allowed and federal health officials fell further behind in their race to find space for them in shelters."
