Disturbing Trends at the Border
And likely to get worse: Of Biden's immigration plans and 'Gen Z' with Jack Daniels
By Andrew R. Arthur on December 17, 2020
On Monday, CBP released the latest monthly report on CBP "encounters" (Border Patrol apprehensions and CBP port stops) along the Southwest border in November. The good news: Encounters went down ever so slightly, and in particular those involving unaccompanied alien children (UAC) and adult migrants traveling with children (FMU), between October and November. The bad news: The numbers are at eight-year highs for November, and are likely to get a whole lot worse.
CBP Apprehensions FY2021 October
Quickly, the agency apprehended 70,052 migrants entering illegally or without documents last month, 487 fewer (.6 percent) than October, when 70,539 aliens were stopped. The number of UAC encounters decreased from 4,661 in October to 4,467, and the number of FMU dipped slightly (4,556 in October vs. 4,121 in November) as well.
