Is there a crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border?

Now that Congress has passed the American Rescue Plan of 2021,
which will help sustain people and cities financially, Congress is
turning its priorities elsewhere, including to issues at
the border.  In February, U.S. Customs and Border
Protection processed 28,328 migrants. That number more than doubled
to over 68,000 in March, most of them families and children.
The surge of migrants who are processed and the insufficient
space to hold them in Arizona led CBP to release migrants
into small communities in southern Arizona. The Biden
administration has received pushback from Republicans on the
rollback of former President Donald Trump's immigration policies
and the handling of the current migrant situation. They are calling
the issue a crisis and inhumane.  How many of those statements
are realist or alarmist? What does the situation look like in
these camps? How have the conditions along the border changed
under President Biden?  In this week's episode of The
Gaggle: An Arizona politics podcast, hosts Yvonne Wingett
Sanchez and Ronald J. Hansen are joined by immigration reporter
Rafael Carranza to break down the situation at the U.S.-Mexico
border.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
