The Biden administration just announced 204,561 illegal immigrants were encountered at the southern border in May. That means monthly apprehensions have surpassed 150,000 for 27 straight months — the first time on record.

It’s just the latest indication that Biden’s border crisis is not, in fact, under control.
In total, 6.9 million illegal immigrants have crossed the border since Biden took office, including 370,176 unaccompanied children and more than 1.4 million illegal immigrants who managed to escape Border Patrol and vanish into the country. 125 individuals on the terror watchlist have been arrested so far this fiscal year — a MASSIVE increase from the previous administration.
Meanwhile, illegal drugs continue to flow into the country at an alarming rate — with just five to ten percent being intercepted as officials struggle to contain the smuggling. In May, 2,626 pounds of deadly fentanyl and 11,882 pounds of methamphetamine were seized at the southern border, with much more getting through undetected.
So far, the Biden administration has shown no interest in fixing this humanitarian crisis.
This is a matter of life and death. When will enough be enough?
