The worst December at the border in DHS history

Rapid Response

The Biden administration finally released December’s border numbers, showing we just had the worst December at the border in DHS history.

There were 178,840 illegal immigrants apprehended at the border in December according to Customs and Border Protection. That breaks the previous December record under DHS by over 100,000. All told, nearly 2 MILLION illegal immigrants have been apprehended at the border since Biden took office.

And for those still claiming the “root cause” is the Northern Triangle, the number of illegal immigrants NOT from the Northern Triangle reached a new high last month during Biden’s border crisis at over 79,000.

Border officials are overwhelmed, tens of thousands of illegal immigrants have disappeared into the country, and opioid overdoses are near all-time highs. It is a truly a crisis of global proportions, and the root cause is Biden’s open borders agenda.
