The final numbers will not be released by the Department of Homeland Security for weeks, but Bill Melugin reported this Saturday there were over 260,000 immigrants apprehended at the southwest border this September, a number that if confirmed would be an all-time record high, beating President Joe Biden’s earlier record set last December at 252,000.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was not asked about that number at Monday’s press briefing, but she was pressed on Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D-NY) statement from this Sunday that the Biden administration needed “a limit on who can come across the border” and that “it is too open right now.”
In response, Jean-Pierre articulated a three-part Biden plan to address the border, including enforcement, deterrence, and diplomacy.
