The Biden Administration Is Lying About The Border
Federal authorities made more than 212,000 arrests at the southwest border in July. By any measure, the border crisis is now an unmitigated humanitarian disaster.

The numbers are in for July, and they confirm what we all know is happening on the southwest border. Federal authorities made more than 212,000 arrests in July, a 20-year record and a 13 percent increase over June, which was itself a 20-year record.
Almost more alarming than the sheer volume of border apprehensions is the trend. Illegal immigration tends to be seasonal; it surges in the spring and recedes during the hotter summer months as temperatures become dangerously high.
That’s not what’s happening this time. Illegal border-crossings have increased every month since last April, sharply increasing in February and March after Biden took office and spiking again from June to July
As the Washington Post’s Nick Miroff noted on Twitter, this is the second time this year the chart-makers at U.S. Customs and Border Protection have had to stretch the x-axis on their chart just to fit the growing monthly number of border arrests.
