As the surge of illegal immigrants at the U.S.–Mexico border remains at historic levels, the Biden administration acknowledged it’s “a big problem,” saying that it’s currently assessing whether to add additional facilities for unaccompanied minors.

During a daily White House briefing on March 15, press secretary Jen Psaki said the Biden administration believes it has a handle on the border situation, while blaming the previous administration for leaving behind a “dismantled and unworkable system.”
