Joe Biden’s Deputies Promise Border Crackdown — Plus More PathwaysNeil Munro9 Aug 202110
President Joe Biden’s border officials are now declaring a crackdown on illegal migrants after choosing to admit roughly 700,000 economic migrants in seven months across the Mexican border.
“Any single adult who is apprehended along the Southwest border who has previously been apprehended and deported under Title 8 will be referred to prosecution,” said Manuel Padilla, chief of the U.S. Border Patrol’s operations directorate, said in the State Department’s Friday press conference.
If implemented, the policy would be a big but cosmetic shift in the welcome policy set by homeland security chief Alejandro Mayorkas. Currently, Mayorkas sends caught migrants back to Mexico so they can rest and try again. On July 11, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported:
Nearly everyone interviewed by the San Diego Union-Tribune shortly after being expelled to Tijuana said that they had tried crossing the border three or more times in recent weeks in hopes of getting in.
One man, who declined to be identified, said he’d lost count of how many times he tried. He tossed out a guess — 30.
