“It used to be that when there was a migration crisis, it tended to be one — maybe one source country at a time,” Mr. Blinken added. Now it’s all of the above, plus Venezuela, plus Nicaragua, plus Ecuador.”Over the past year, the Biden administration has rolled out new enforcement policies and legal pathways designed to drive down the number of illegal crossings on the southern border. The number of migrant arrests outside ports of entry, however, was down by about two million compared with a year ago.

But the demand is far greater than the number of appointments available, and some migrants have been waiting months to get one.

There are additional people who have security clearance but don’t currently have access to information. Gen. Pat Ryder, compared the method by which classified information is stored to a locked house where people with clearance can get a key.

September 12 marks 60 years since President Kennedy delivered his famous "moon speech" at Rice University in Texas. NASA plans to land astronauts on the moon for the first time since 1972 with its Artemis missions.
