The U.S. Border Patrol has processed a record-breaking 225,000 illegal migrants who entered the country through the southern border in December, the highest in the agency's history. President Joe Biden's vacation in the Caribbean amid the surge has drawn criticism from Republicans. The mayors of Chicago, New York, and Denver are trying to address the surge by coordinating arrivals of migrants from Texas. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and other officials have blamed Texas Governor Greg Abbott for the migration 'chaos', calling it a federal and international crisis that local governments are being asked to subsidize. The surge has led to a strain on resources and has been described as unsustainable by local leaders.
