   Biden promised to --    Raise the refugee cap to 125,000, up from the 15,000 set by President Donald Trump.  PROMISE KEPT
   
   Definition: An asylum seeker is someone who claims to be a refugee but whose claim hasn't been evaluated. ... Someone is an asylum seeker for so long as their application is pending. So not every asylum seeker will be recognized as a refugee, but every refugee is initially an asylum seeker.
   
   January and February ---   "WASHINGTON — The monthly number of attempted illegal border crossings increased 28 percent in February, the first full month of the Biden administration, according to the senior official currently performing the duties of Customs and Border Protection commissioner."
   
   "Troy Miller told reporters Wednesday that CBP had 100,441 encounters with migrants crossing the border in February, up from 78,442 in January. "    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigr … y-n1260484
   
   March ---  " More than 170,000 migrants were taken into custody at the Southwest border in March, the highest monthly total since at least 2006, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials who have been briefed on the preliminary numbers but are not authorized to speak publicly".  https://www.npr.org/2021/04/02/98393700 … r-in-march
   
   The numbers are not in as of yet for April, however, at this point we had 348,883 immigrants cross over our border illegally. With over 20,000 being unaccompanied minors.
   
   So maybe it's time for Joe to see our cup runneth over.   I guess Biden will need to reevaluate his 125,000 refugee figure or get a plan in place to stop the influx of illegal immigrants. This is certainly a huge crisis, with COVID and all the new strains.  Seems the President is doing what he does best --- Hide in his new home or White House. I wish he would pop his head out, I want to know if he sees his shadow. Perhaps forecasting an early summer...
   
   Any thoughts on this serious situation? 
   
   Is our Government unable to enforce our immigration laws that are current? Which actually would help curb the problem?
   
   Should Biden reconsider putting the Trump Administration policies back in place until they can come up with a solution?
   
   And what about COVID, we have been following mitigations for over a year to curb the virus. Why is Biden letting people in that are not being tested?
   
   What the hell is going on in this country, is anyone at the helm?
