Chuck Schumer's spin & I assume he is speaking for most Senate Dems here, as he basically says that:

Hardworking immigrants were on the frontlines of the recovery from this pandemic.

I was proud to stand with farm workers, Dreamers, and advocates pushing for a fix to our broken immigration system.

This Senate will work to provide them a pathway to citizenship. pic.twitter.com/Eob4ITxfvh

I went to south Texas to write about a guy who built a 3-mile-long wall at the very stretch of border where the current immigration surge is taking place. Now he wants to get paid. As many twists and turns in this story as the Rio Grande. For @bw https://t.co/cNThpUmgYe pic.twitter.com/va58JoXFg1

Border Patrol agents have made more than a million arrests at the U.S.-Mexico border so far this year, already higher than any full-year total since at least 2005, according to new Customs and Border Protection figures released Friday.

The CBP data only includes the number of arrests and doesn’t account for people who made it across the border without being apprehended.

Agents made more than 178,000 arrests in June, a 3% increase over the prior month. The number of migrants traveling as families arrested crossing the border illegally rose once more in June to around 50,000, a 23% increase over the previous month, prolonging a surge that has posed major political and logistical challenges for the Biden administration.

The number of unaccompanied children arrested crossing the border also rose slightly in June to around 15,000, with CBP officials privately warning in meetings that they were seeing as many as 600 children crossing the border alone a day in July.

The high volume of illegal border crossings is a result of multiple factors, including the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic felt across Latin America, pent-up demand after years of restrictive Trump administration policies and a perception that President Biden would be more welcoming to those looking to migrate. More recently, CBP officials have warned in internal meetings that the improving economy in the U.S. and rising vaccination rates will continue to attract more attempted illegal entries so long as there continue to be unfilled jobs in the U.S. [.....]
