An unprecedented number of illegal immigrants were apprehended at the southern border in May — more than 239,000 in total. That’s another month of the highest number in the Department of Homeland Security’s history and a 300 percent increase from the average May number under President Trump.
More than 3.5 million illegal immigrants have now crossed the border in just 16 months under Biden.
And Biden’s immigration crisis isn’t just affecting border towns. Illicit drugs are flowing into the country at an alarming rate as border officials struggle to contain the smuggling; more than 1,101 pounds of deadly fentanyl and 10,528 pounds of methamphetamine were seized at the southern border in May alone.
More than a year ago, Biden claimed "we’ve now gotten control" of the border crisis.
That was a lie.
