Washington Post: “We looked at data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection to see whether there’s a ‘crisis’ — or even a ‘surge,’ as many news outlets have characterized it. We analyzed monthly CBP data from 2012 to now and found no crisis or surge that can be attributed to Biden administration policies.” “Rather, the current increase in apprehensions fits a predictable pattern of seasonal changes in undocumented immigration combined with a backlog of demand because of 2020’s coronavirus border closure.”
are we talking about the terrorist attack on the Capitol anymore? No. Scaravan hook, line, and sinker once again.
Yet... there is article after article like this with numbers quoting the Biden administration across all the mainstream media including CNN, ABC, NBC, etc. Southwest border crossings on pace for highest levels in 20 years, Biden admin says Border agents are encountering 565 unaccompanied migrant children crossing the border on average per day, up from 313 children per day last month. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/im...-highest-levels-20-years-biden-admin-n1261192 Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Tuesday the U.S. is expected to reach the highest number of people apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border in two decades. “We are on pace to encounter more individuals on the southwest border than we have in the last 20 years. We are expelling most single adults and families. We are not expelling unaccompanied children," Mayorkas said in a statement addressing what he described as a “difficult” situation at the border. (More at above url) The assertions made in the Washington Post article are so laughable they are not even worth discussing.
Let's take a look at the "seasonality" of border crossings over the past few years. Southwest Land Border Encounters https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters Demographics for U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) and Office of Field Operations (OFO) include: Accompanied Minors Family Unit Aliens (FMUA) Single Adults Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) / Single Minors
You know how I know there's no crisis at the border? Trump built the wall and nipped illegal immigration in the bud. He even got Mexico to stop central American crossings w/his deal maker skills.
Why don't you ask that question to the Biden administration. But we will note that the numbers are the highest in 20 years, 40 years, 60 years, or the 98 years since 1924 when the U.S. Border Patrol was established.
