14,000 encounters per day

Rapid Response

In 2019, former Obama DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson said 1,000 illegal encounters per day at the border “overwhelms the system” and is a crisis. We are currently averaging 7 times that number at the border.

What’s worse, authorities expect encounters to potentially reach as high as 14,000 per day after Title 42 comes to an end next week.

Officials are already releasing illegal immigrants en masse into the U.S., hundreds of migrants are camping outside in near-freezing temperatures as shelters are full, and over 1 million illegal immigrant “gotaways” have already escaped into the U.S. since Biden took office. That is all before the end of Title 42.

Biden’s border crisis is about to get a whole lot worse and he just doesn’t care.
