While detailing the supposed merits of the 'bipartisan' border bill earlier this week, President Joe Biden admitted the bill falls short of achieving a key Democratic ambition: establishing a legal route to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants. 'It doesn't cover every area I had hoped for,' confessed Biden. 'We still lack a framework for legalizing those who are already on our soil.' Biden pledged unwavering commitment to comprehensive immigration reform, including permanent protections and a way to citizenship for youthful immigrants who were brought here as children, have been law-abiding citizens, and make significant contributions to our nation.

This statement was made against the backdrop of recent record-breaking migrant encounters at the southern border, surpassing one million since October 1, an unprecedented statistic. This stark milestone symbolizes the earliest point in any fiscal year to reach such a terrifying threshold according to the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). The previous year's same period had recorded only 908,000 encounters, approximately 100,000 fewer than this fiscal year.

The sudden surge of migration toward the U.S.-Mexico border can be attributed in no small part to the alarming number of encounters in December, hitting a figure of 302,000. The sheer volume of migrant encounters within such a short period — less than five months — inspires serious concern when put into context. Comparable to the population sizes of U.S. cities like Austin, in Texas, Jacksonville in Florida, or San Jose in California, and Columbus, Ohio, the astronomical number highlights the severity of the humanitarian crisis faced at the border.
