Subject: Re: Blinken to Fix Border Security
Over the past decade the traffic at the border has been shifting from individual males to families seeking asylum. Lack of action by congress has resulted in the current crisis. A recent survey indicates about 90% of those families seeking asylum do not qualify, but they have a right to be here until processed out. The current backlog is over 3 years, so absent substantial funding we are stuck. It seems the current administration is attempting an end run around this problem by getting new asylum seekers stuck in Mexico rather than at our border stations.
