John Kirby, the National Security Council Spokesman, has stated that the Biden administration believes it has done a good job in addressing the root causes of illegal immigration, despite the historic level of migration. Kirby acknowledged that while the situation is not perfect, there has been a general decline in the flow of migration to the United States.

The discussion on migration comes amidst reports of 26,741 migrants encountered over 48 hours and an average of about 200,000 encounters per month, with an estimated 2 million 'known got-aways' in the U.S.
