Customs and Border Protection just reported that there were over 154,000 illegal encounters at the border in February.
This marks 24 months in a row of encounters above 150,000. For context, before Joe Biden took office, monthly encounters had not reached 150,000 for even a single month in the prior 15 years. That number doesn’t even include “gotaways,” which have reached 1.3 million during Biden’s time in office.
This is the WORST border crisis on record, hands down. We do NOT have operational control of the border. Any administration official who suggests Biden’s border policy is working is lying to you.
By DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’s own definition, the Border Patrol says the border is NOT secure.
