CBP confirms Biden's border crisis continues to boom

Rapid Response

Customs and Border Protection just confirmed Fox News’ reporting: 208,887 illegal immigrants were encountered at the border in August.

Some stats:

  • Since February 1, there have been over 1,200,000 apprehensions at the southwest border.
  • There was a 317% INCREASE in apprehensions compared to last August.
  • At 18,847 children, the number of unaccompanied minors picked up at the border remained near all-time highs.
  • 43,941 illegal immigrants were released into the U.S. just last month. In Trump’s last full month in office, that number was only 17.
  • 1,123 pounds of fentanyl was seized, enough to kill tens of millions of Americans.
  • 61,484 illegal immigrants who were apprehended were NOT from the Northern Triangle or Mexico – a new high during Biden’s border crisis. So much for their claims about “root causes.”

Biden’s border crisis is as dangerous, destructive, and inhumane as ever. His open borders agenda is only making things worse. His cruel policies endanger Americans and illegal immigrants, all to the profit of criminals, terrorists, and cartels.

But Biden does not seem to care – another crisis he creates and then does nothing to solve.
