.JudiciaryGOP will hold a hearing as GOP lawmakers seek to determine how the Biden administration’s border policies “enable the exploitation” of children who come to the US illegally.
The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement will start the hearing on Wednesday as GOP lawmakers seek to determine how the Biden administration’s border policies “enable the exploitation” of children who come to the U.S. illegally.
The hearing is the committee’s third part of its “Biden’s Border Crisis” series, following two previous meetings that were held in February. The first hearing took place on Feb. 1 and focused on how surging numbers of immigrants have exacerbated the country’s fentanyl crisis. The committee held a follow-up hearing on Feb. 23, which focused specifically on immigration in Yuma County, Arizona.
Republicans have long pledged to use their House majority to focus on the influx of illegal immigrants coming into the U.S. from the southern border, which has significantly increased under the Biden administration. Border officials encountered more than 2 million immigrants at the southern border during fiscal 2022, an increase from 1.7 million encounters the year before.
Immigration officials reported encountering more than 152,000 unaccompanied minors at or near the southern border in fiscal 2022, marking an all-time high. About 72% of those children were 15 years or older, although officials have reported encountering infants and toddlers.
