President Joe Biden biked near a Delaware beach Sunday amid the ongoing migrant surge at the U.S.-Mexico border and a recent diplomatic crisis.

France recalled its ambassadors to the U.S. and Australia due to the two countries’ joint agreement with the U.K. to give nuclear submarines to the Australian government, which violated a previous agreement to send French submarines down under, Fox News reported. The president did not answer any reporters’ questions on the issue and continued on his bike ride to Gordon’s Pond Trail in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, with First Lady Jill Biden.

“Mr. President, what will you tell Emmanuel Macron?” a reporter asked regarding his scheduled phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron, according to Fox news. “When are you going to call Macron?” another reportedly asked Biden, who refused to answer the questions.

Meanwhile, the migrant crisis has continued to surge at the southern border, with a recent influx of over 15,000 Haitian migrants entering Del Rio, Texas, with migrants camping under the international bridge in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions. The administration deployed 400 federal agents to the bridge and ramped up deportation flights.

The migrants, who made shelters out of plants and sticks, have been sleeping on the dirt and lack a sufficient supply of food and water in temperatures that have reached triple digits. The Haitian migrant surge began in June following the assassination of President Jovenel Moise and a series of earthquakes that devastated the country.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) revealed Wednesday that border agents encountered 208,887 migrants in August, slightly decreasing from the 212,000 in July after a steady increase of encountered migrants throughout the year, the outlet reported. The number of migrants increased by 317% in comparison to Aug. 2020 and 233% at the same time in 2019.

In July, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recorded a surge in COVID-19 cases in immigration detention facilities, amounting to 7,500 new infections within a three-month period. Vaccine mandates have not currently applied to migrants entering the U.S. or Afghan refugees while being required to private businesses consisting of at least 100 employees.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki pushed back on questions regarding the lack of vaccine mandates for migrants at a Sept. 1o press conference.

“It is a requirement for people at a business with more than 100 people. It is not a requirement for migrants at the southern border,” Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy said. “Why?”

“That is correct,” Psaki said before immediately moving on to the next question.

In an Aug. 24 decision, the Supreme Court rejected the Biden administration’s attempt to overturn a district judge’s revival of the “Remain in Mexico” policy, a Trump-era immigration policy requiring migrants to reside in Mexico until their scheduled immigration hearing in the U.S.

Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz blamed the administration’s scrapping of the “Remain in Mexico” policy —also known as the Migrant Protection Protocol — in May after the CBP released its numbers of encountered migrants, which peaked at over 180,000. During former President Donald Trump’s administration, the policy blocked 60,000 migrants from entering the U.S. as they awaited their court hearings.

After the administration’s scrapping, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) began to process 25,000 migrants previously affected by the Trump-era policy, according to NPR.

In addition to the unresolved border crisis, U.S. Central Command, Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie announced Friday that an American airstrike launched Aug. 29 killed an Afghan aid worker and his family instead of ISIS-K members, who were the targets. An unspecified number of Americans and allies remain in Afghanistan after the withdrawal of U.S. troops.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
