What could become the largest migrant caravan ever to approach the U.S. southern border had formed in Mexico and was expected to begin heading north Monday.
About 11,000 migrants gathered in Tapachula, a city on the Mexico-Guatemala border, with the intention of marching toward the U.S., The Guardian reported.
The caravan's numbers were expected to grow in the coming days, and could reach 15,000 people, The Guardian said.
News of the caravan came as the migrant surge under President Joe Biden continued to skyrocket.
More than 234,000 migrants were intercepted at the southern border in April, breaking the previous month's 22-year high of 221,000, according to NBC News.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection statistics show that 73,994 encounters occurred in December 2020, former President Donald Trump’s last full month in office.
Chris Chmielenski, vice president of NumbersUSA, told Newsmax that the No. 1 priority for Biden and lawmakers should be reinstating the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), known as "Remain in Mexico," that was in place under Trump.
MPP resulted in migrants who arrived at the southern border being sent back to Mexico while their immigration proceedings played out.
"[MPP] had the single largest effect when Trump was dealing with a migrant surge similar to what we’re seeing today but not nearly at the numerical levels we’re seeing today," Chmielenski told Newsmax.
"Most of the them are claiming asylum but most of them don’t qualify for asylum under U.S. law. But once they cross the border and claim asylum, they get to stay here. And in many cases, they get a work permit and they get assistance from these non-governmental organizations that are helping the government relocate them."
Realistically, Chmielenski understands that current immigration policy won’t change until Republicans regain control of Congress.

America is showing to the world how NOT to manage a country
Look at the bright side: I don’t hear anyone any more repeating the lie told for 20 years that there are only 11 million illegals here
Keep them coming. Keep voting Democrat. Empower the Drug Cartels.. They have bargain prices, $7,000 per person to get you across the border. THIS you won’t know about in the legacy news. I live, I post in Mexico. I see what is happening, and know more than most think. First hand evidence.
Ain’t we awesome? Meanwhile, we’re sure cutting back on non essential travel and what we now consider luxury items at the store. 😠
I don’t understand why a line of patriots, well stocked and well aimed, is not on your side of the border. Words are never going to stop this invasion.
We would instantly be fighting a two front war. The invaders to our face and our own .gov to our backs. If WTP massed on our borders, they would kill every one of US.
Send them to Delaware.
These human roaches need to be exterminated.
Mexico is offering this pathway... let them pay for it and be responsible for it. America should wash its hands of this effort and stay out of it.
It’s suicidal for us not to protect our borders. Our military should protect us from invasion, not worry about the borders of other countries.
+1
Call a spade a spade.
America should take Mexico...but not grant that seized landscape even the rights of an American territory.
A-10 Warthogs.
Probably the truth is that the cartels are really in charge in Mexico and the government cannot stand against them.
