The southern border is in crisis and the Biden administration is resorting to trickery to hide the scale of the disaster.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas devised a shell game after the administration ended Title 42, the COVID-era public health restrictions that allowed the Border Patrol to quickly expel illegal migrants. Experts had universally anticipated a surge of new crossings when the program expired on May 11.
But instead of a surge, apprehensions of illegal border crossers dropped in both May and June. In fact, border patrol apprehensions were down close to 50% in June compared to the same month last year. A recent DHS press release cheered that “unlawful entries between ports of entry along the Southwest Border have decreased by more than 70 percent since May 11.”
