Rising Apprehensions Didn’t Stop Biden From Going Ahead with Reckless Executive Actions
avatar By FAIR Staff April 21, 2021
In the months between his election and Joe Biden taking the oath of office, the normal migration decline seen in previous years during the winter months was not occurring. There was another unmistakable change afoot. Single adults from the Northern Triangle nations, not Mexico, were accounting for most of the apprehensions. Even before he had taken office, it was clear that promises of an easier asylum process, less enforcement and more amnesty was spurring migrants to come north.
The data were hiding in plain sight. Actually, monthly data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) charted the unseasonal increase. According to the data, there was an increase of 3 percent in illegal alien apprehensions between November and January, a period that historically would see a decrease in apprehensions. And there were 71,000 apprehensions, which were the highest numbers seen since July 2019.
