CBP Reports Record 221,303 Encounters at U.S.-Mexico Border in March According to CBP:
The 221,303 encounters in March is 37 percent more than the 165,894 in February. Most encounters -- 76 percent -- involved single adults, a 33 percent increase from February.
Encounters of unaccompanied children increased 18 percent, with 14,167 encounters in March compared with 11,984 in February. In March, the average number of unaccompanied children in CBP custody was 582 per day, compared with an average of 520 per day in February.
Encounters of family unit individuals increased by 42 percent to 37,818 in March, which is a 56-percent decrease from the peak of 86,631 in August 2021.
About half of the 221,303 total encounters -- 109,549 of them -- were processed for expulsion under Title 42, the public health (COVID) measure that is slated to expire on May 23, something that concerns both Democrats and Republicans who anticipate a massive rush to the U.S. border at that time.
Since President Biden took office in January 2021, CBP counts 2,795,640 encounters of illegal aliens at the southwest border.....
