The Biden Administration's Plan to Avoid a Disasterful GovernmentDefault

Border apprehensions have gone from record highs over 11,000 in a single day on Tuesday to less than half of that, around 4400, just three days later. NBC has also learned that the number of migrants remaining in CBP shelters has dropped as well. Multiple migrants told NBC News there was a whisper campaign in the migrant camps in Mexico, encouraging migrants to cross before the pandemic policy was removed and then replaced with potentially stricter measures. The Biden administration's new policy requires migrants to formally make an appointment with border officials or first seek asylum in another country. Housing illegally could mean a five-year ban on re-entry and potential criminal prosecution.
