The Biden administration is considering forcing some migrant families who enter the country without authorization to remain near the border in Texas while awaiting asylum screening, effectively limiting their ability to travel within the U.S., three U.S. officials told The Times.
Administration officials have been considering the idea as a way to stem recent increases in the numbers of migrant families crossing the southern border, which reportedly reached an all-time high last month.
The Biden plan would force certain migrant families to remain in Texas - or possibly other border states - by tracking their location through GPS monitoring devices, such as ankle bracelets, according to the three officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
The word is out that crossing the border is a golden ticket for some people and that the Biden Administration has put a welcome mat for new arrivals.
The flow has been so great that places like New York City are in deep trouble, and I am convinced that the Biden Administration's response is to create a new border to keep the illegals in Red states.
If implemented, the plan would mark the latest expansion of a Biden administration program known as Family Expedited Removal Management, which imposes curfews and GPS monitoring on migrant families traveling to large cities, including Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. Administration officials had hoped that the FERM program, together with videos and press releases highlighting families being deported, would help deter additional families from entering the U.S. without authorization.
In July Border Patrol encountered more than 60,000 families crossing the border - making up almost half the number of those who crossed the southern border that month.
