Biden administration prepares for possible border crossing surge, NBC reports

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Biden administration is making contingency plans for a possible surge in border crossings as potential immigrants say they are concerned that President-elect Donald Trump will shut down the border, NBC News reported on Wednesday, citing two unidentified U.S. officials. The officials told NBC that while the U.S. Homeland Security Department has not yet seen a surge in migration, they predicted in a meeting on Monday that immigration would increase if Trump were elected.
