What ‘plummet’? Border numbers still well above level of ‘system-wide emergency’
Daniel Horowitz · July 8, 2019
Just how accustomed have we become to the new normal of open borders? In March, when 92,840 people were apprehended between ports of entry at the border, including 53,208 family unit members, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) referred to it as a “system-wide emergency.†Now, after preliminary data show the numbers are off the peak of May, back “down†to 95,500 total apprehensions and 57,300 family unit members, it is reported as a major breakthrough.
Has the Overton window shifted so far to the Left on this issue that the media will successfully acculturate us to tolerate this level of illegal immigration, especially the shutdown of our Border Patrol, caring for immigrants rather than protecting Americans, as the new normal?
While it is true that the numbers are down 28 percent from the unfathomable peak of the May numbers, when over 132,000 were apprehended between ports of entry, the June numbers still sit at roughly the April levels, which themselves reflected a high-water mark, with month-over-month increases for a year and a half.
