Without realizing it, White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield on Sunday admitted the crisis at the border is even worse than we previously imagined.
ABC News' Jon Karl pointed out that the overwhelming number of illegal aliens, a vast majority of them unaccompanied minors, are not part of the normal spring surge that typically takes place this time of year.
"We're having record numbers already and the surge that you're about is only just beginning. This is not, I mean in terms of unaccompanied minors, this is not the same as its been," Karl said. "This is worse, is it not?"
Bedingfield shrugged nonchalantly. "Well, no, if you look at the numbers, it's not," she replied.
"I'm saying these are already record numbers of unaccompanied minors," the ABC host explained. "A thousand in a single day, already record numbers. It's not the same."
Bedingfield reiterated that the numbers of unaccompanied minors flocking across the border are "the same" as previous surges.
"The important thing here is not a question of whether it's the same or not. The important thing here is the president has said it's unacceptable to him and he's working to address it," she said.
Bedingfield said the White House is focused on "finding temporary housing" for the unaccompanied minors, as well as "speeding up the process" so they move from holding facilities to so-called "temporary housing" more quickly.
"I think it's also important to be clear that our policy hasn't changed, that the vast majority of people who arrive at our border we're turning away under Title 42, the health code that requires us, or allows us, to turn people away in this period of COVID," she explained. "So people should understand that the vast majority of people who show up at our border, we're turning away."
When it comes to unaccompanied minors, Border Patrol is moving them "as quickly as possible" to "facilities that are acceptable, that are, in and of themselves, short-term solutions," Bedingfield said. She also emphasized that Biden is focused on "rebuild[ing] diplomacy in the Northern Triangle" so people aren't motivated to head to the United States.
As of now, there are 5,495 unaccompanied minors in CBP custody, another 12,551 unaccompanied minors in HHS custody, meaning there are 18,045 unaccompanied minors in U.S. custody. Last week, Border Patrol had a record 1,000 unaccompanied minors captured in one day.
If the people are being turned away at the border, as Bedingfield suggested, that means the illegal immigration crisis is far worse than what we have now. We have record numbers of unaccompanied minors in Border Patrol and HHS facilities – which are absolutely grotesque and inhumane – but those are only the illegal aliens that have been captured. That's not taking into account those that make it past Border Patrol agents and into the interior of the United States or those that are allegedly turned away at ports of entry.

A surge of 22 Year old Illegal Invaders claiming they are 17.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
Hey it’s landscape and roofing season!
“unaccompanied minors”? Surely we’re not talking 5 or 12 years old deciding to up and emigrate the hardest way possible.
They are moving into the Gypsy’s line of business.
How is that Asphalt Driveway looking?
MS-13 restocking the troops!
They could be 30 and claim 17
I’m sure a lot of them are that old.
A millennial butter face lying her ass off on National TV is no way to go through life.
The left tries to convince people that Pres. Trump “incited” an insurrection, or sedition, or a riot, or — whatever.
But Biden hasn’t incited an invasion, and the trafficking of children, and child abuse, neglect and abandonment?
Did he not plainly call for a “surge” last year while campaigning?
The easy answer is to send them back. But Biden’s whole game plan is to send the message to Central America that we are letting you in, then transferring you to more comfortable temporary transitional housing for a few days before we ship you to the interior US. No one is going back.We don’t care that the majority of Dems polled do not want you here. Keep coming!

As Americans are putting forth great sacrifice to mitigate the C-virus, Comrade Biden is importing more border jumpers to seed the country. Because of this, we will see another surge in deaths, the ultimate sacrifice.
Ah, you mean the Travellers.
And the media will go on to correct what she meant to say just like they did for Obama.
A surge of 38 Year old Invaders claiming they are Xiden sporkswomyn, with manchins and big hands...
The truth is that the open border is leading to a huge increase in human and especially child trafficking.
However, few people realize that what pushes illegal immigrants north is *publicity*. Easy to cross and jobs available and the numbers go up. Hard to cross and strong enforcement, and a lot of them decide to not even try.
But there is a third element. *Nobody* wants to sacrifice their children to a life of prostitution and slavery.
So if we can just get the word out, south of the border, that children are being taken for prostitution and slavery, a LOT fewer people will want to send their children north.
The best networking to do this are the Christian churches that have connections south of the border. They can spread the message and it will do a lot.
The truth is that the open border is leading to a huge increase in human and especially child trafficking.
Which is why I challenge very liberal I hear going on about human trafficking (knowing full well that they are also FOR open borders).
