Evidently, Joe Biden is not taking Cardinal Timothy Dolan’s phone calls about the nation’s worsening migrant crisis, but perhaps he should.
If nothing else, the Catholic president who vowed to make enforcement of U.S. immigration laws more humane should enlist the New York cardinal’s prayer support to help him find a way out of the humanitarian disaster his administration has negligently allowed to unfold at our southern border.
There were more than 2.3 million border patrol “encounters” at the southern border in fiscal year 2023, and 3.2 million nationwide, a staggering tally that approaches the number of annual U.S. births. This past December alone saw more than 300,000 migrant encounters at the southern border. That’s an average of 10,000 per day and the highest monthly total ever recorded.
The impact of this surge is being felt in communities large and small across the U.S. New York City, where Cardinal Dolan lives, has spent billions of dollars to provide basic services to the more than 130,000 migrants who wound up there last year, some 60,000 of whom are still under the city’s care.
