Rising Immigration Numbers and the Border Crisis

The number of immigrants crossing the southern border is increasing, with leaked reports suggesting an average of 9,000 immigrants a day. The Biden administration's expansion of immigration parole programs and the seasonality of illegal immigration are contributing factors. Foot traffic through the Darien Gap in Panama has also increased exponentially, with an estimated 400,000 people crossing this year. The lax immigration policies and developments like Colony Ridge near Houston are attracting migrants.
