Last month, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reportedly apprehended more than 173,000 illegal immigrants crossing the southern border, making this the worst November at the border in DHS history. This more than doubled the previous record for November, which came in FY 2000 when there were 76,196 apprehensions.
To put Biden’s border crisis in context, 173,000 apprehensions is:
With these latest numbers, more illegal immigrants have crossed the southern border in the last three months than in all of FY 2020, President Trump’s last full fiscal year in office.
And that doesn’t even include “gotaways” – illegal immigrants that have escaped into the U.S. unpursued. According to Border Patrol’s official “gotaways” count, 273,112 illegal immigrants escaped CBP between January 20 and August 31. Border Patrol agents estimate an additional 100,000 illegal immigrants have escaped in just the last two months and expect more than 600,000 illegal immigrants will escape into the U.S. this fiscal year.
Meanwhile, Biden and Harris are nowhere to be found. There is no record Biden has EVER been to the border, let alone as president. Border Czar Harris hasn’t visited the border in almost 6 months and has only spoken to the President of Guatemala once, also months ago.
Biden’s border crisis is as bad as ever. But as drug smuggling surges, cartels and crime run rampant, and communities are under siege, Biden and Harris are completely MIA.
