OVER 19,000 kids crossed the border in March, the highest number in history, with hundreds of them facing sexual assault according to Gov Greg Abbott.
The tidal wave of children comes after President Joe Biden reversed many of Donald Trump s hardline immigration tactics.

One of the reasons behind the increase was the Biden administration’s decision to exempt unaccompanied children from pandemic-related powers to immediately expel most people from the country without giving them an opportunity to seek asylum.
Children are instead released to “sponsors” in the U.S., usually parents or close relatives, while being allowed to pursue their cases in heavily backlogged immigration courts.
