The Biden administration is seeking congressional approval, and funding, for a temporary housing program for migrant families that illegally cross the southern border. It is a plan that is intended to give them more freedom than traditional detention, according to Axios.
The administration is asking for the funds as part of a $40 billion emergency funding request to Congress. The request includes nearly $2.7 billion for the Department of Homeland Security's various border efforts.
This request comes amid more bad news at the border for the Biden administration.
Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) recorded more than 130,000 arrests along the southern border in July, compared with 99,545 in June, reported the Daily Mail citing a source close to the Border Patrol.
“The spike is greatest in southern Arizona in the region around Ajo. The Tucson sector recorded 40,000 arrests last month, making it the highest monthly total in 15 years. (The numbers were first reported by the Washington Post.)”
People can be seen standing in front of a giant fan at the Ajo Border Patrol station near Tucson, with images of people in cages in 110+ degree weather.
“Migrant advocacy groups condemned the practice of caging arrivals but officials said they were forced to use outdoor facilities as they struggle to manage the surge,” according to the outlet.
“It is bad news for the Biden administration. The pictures of people held inside wire fences provide a visual echo of families caged under the Trump administration.”
But now DHS wants the ability to use funds to set up new types of facilities to hold migrant families while they go through an expedited asylum and deportation process, according to Axios.

I would rather spend billions sending them back where they came from.
Why doesn’t biden put them in his houses ?
Another $2.7 BILLION to NOT STOP THEM AT THE BORDER.
AMAZING
Obama is still working to “LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD”
Pretty soon-—the field will be littered with bodies.
Paving the road to hell with the fruits of our labor. What gives the government the right to take our prosperity and give it away to those it thinks are more deserving? Why are those who produce and contribute constantly being punished and how long will they tolerate it?
It is no longer possible to convince me that this isn’t a population replacement program. Obama hates his white half, and by extension hates all people of European descent. Has a pathological need to punish us for being who we are, and this is one way to do it. Ought to be in a mental institution, not pulling Biden’s strings.
It ain’t Biden. He’s a potato.
Its Obama and his ‘fundamental transformation’.
Spineless republicans quickly double babblin' biden's request
in their never-ending leftist lapdog quest.
Biden admin ability to plan ahead on their no borders agenda tanking they abuse the use of stupidity nothing but a crew of tokens and academic utopians.
Too bad the article doesn’t show who is getting the money.
Of course Joe Biden will send Hunter to collect his 10%.
Marxist Dems are now buying votes by forcing American taxpayers to pay for illegal housing.
If 500,000 households are not willing to provide a spare room, why should 85 million households pay tax to house these uninvited and obviously unwelcome people?
The squatting laws are going to allow for the suburbs to dissolve. Obama hates the suburbs.
Perhaps these people could be permitted to do some agricultural work in exchange for being able to sleep in a hayloft.
Why did you come to the US?
To get $20/hour building houses.
The Ukdrain could use them...
There is a right and a wrong in what is going on in Washington. First item.. Biden is the lowest in honesty and serving the nation/people. He scores a zero and minus. Everything he has done, is for himself!
The people want to come to the US .. of course they do! We can’t let them in. Period!!! We with a brain, do things in an orderly fashion. Otherwise, ya get a mess. We have a mess by letting millions come in an open border.
Now, he wants us to house them!!! House them yourself, joe .. send them back! They can’t come here and expect to be housed, given a phone, medicare.. for crying out loud.. it’s wrong.. wrong... !!
When the boats sailed for America, the first settlers came ..When they arrived, they had a record of where they came from, what their profession was, who came with them, who was to meet them and where they were staying. Government did not house them, nor feed them, nor take care of them!!
What they are doing today is a crime and we will pay dearly getting them out...we await the man who will do the right thing and keep our country from destroying itself.
His priorities are shown by how much he spends. Billions for Ukraine and billions to import people who aren’t White.
