"We proudly handed the Biden administration the most secure border in history," Trump said in a statement, adding," All they had to do was keep this smooth-running system on autopilot. Instead, in the span of a just few weeks, the Biden administration has turned a national triumph into a national disaster."

Trump lashed out at Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, saying: "Even someone of Mayorkas’ limited abilities should understand that if you provide catch-and-release to the world’s illegal aliens then the whole world will come."

"The only way to end the<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/biden-steps-up-family-expulsions-as-us-mexico-border-arrivals-keep-climbing-372059"> Biden</a> border crisis is for them to admit their total failure and adopt the profoundly effective, proven Trump policies," the ex-US president said.

Mayorkas had earlier blamed the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/chinese-entrepreneur-selling-donald-trumps-buddha-statue-at-this-price-369704">Trump</a> administration for the crisis, insisting that "the entire system... was dismantled in its entirety by the prior administration" and&nbsp;had to be rebuilt.

According to reports, over 10,000 unaccompanied children are now in the care of the US department of health and human services. Mayorkas in a hearing had told the House Homeland Security Committee that "the situation is undoubtedly difficult".

Mayorkas had told the committee that the Biden administration will "not waiver" in&nbsp;its commitment to succeed as he informed the members that <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/children-are-sleeping-on-mats-in-overcrowded-us-border-facilities-370867">migrant</a> spikes were not new, having also occurred in 2019 and 2014.

However, Republicans attacked the Biden administration as&nbsp;Congressman Michael McCaul told Mayorkas that, "Cartels and traffickers see that the green light is on at our southern border, and the United States is open for business."

As he took office in January, Biden had done away with several of Trump's immigration policies including halting new border wall construction and proposing legislation to create citizenship for undocumented people in the US.

Trump lashes out at Biden administration over US migration crisis

As the migrants bound for the <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/mexico-honors-migrants-at-day-of-the-dead-as-caravan-treks-north-173978">United States crossed into Guatemala </a>on Sunday, a Pentagon official said thousands more troops could be sent to the US-Mexico border to stop them.

President Trump in a tweet said that "many gang members" and some "very bad people" were part of the "caravan".

"Please go back, you will not be admitted into the United States unless you go through the legal process," the US president said, adding,"this is an invasion of our country and our military is waiting for you!"

In April, Trump ordered up to 4,000 national guards to head to the border as a different migrant caravan wound its way north. About 2,100 have deployed.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
Guatemala's government said in a statement that it regrets that the migrants didn't take the opportunity of dialogue and instead threw stones and glass bottles at police.

Mexico's interior minister Alfonso Navarrete said some of the migrants had guns while others had Molotov cocktails.

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on "Fox News Sunday" said Trump was determined to use every authority he had to stop immigrants from crossing the border illegally.

"We have a crisis at the border right now ... This caravan is one iteration of that but frankly we essentially see caravans every day with these numbers," she said.

An estimated 2,300 children were travelling with the migrant caravan, UNICEF said in a statement, adding that they needed protection and access to essential services like healthcare, clean water and sanitation.
