Worst January at the border in over 20 years

Rapid Response

Customs and Border Protection just confirmed that nearly 154,000 illegal immigrants were encountered crossing the border in January.

That is the worst January at the border in over 20 years. Since Biden took office, over 2 million illegal immigrants have been caught crossing the border with 11 straight months of apprehensions above 150,000. That does not include the 500,000 illegal immigrants that have escaped into the U.S. without being apprehended under Biden.

Perhaps most alarming, court documents indicate that over 62,000 illegal immigrants were released in January into the U.S. In Trump’s last full month, that number was only 17.

The Biden administration STILL has not reported how many were released with a “Notice to Report” – a glorified “come back later” slip that has allowed tens of thousands of illegal immigrants to disappear into the country.

The border is open. But Biden just does not care.
