Biden’s Election-Year Border Enforcement Gambit Yields Lowest Migrant Apprehensions Since Trump’s Departure
by BOB PRICE and RANDY CLARK 3 Jul 2024
A recent gambit by the Biden administration to give the appearance of border enforcement yielded the lowest month of migrant apprehensions of his term. Border Patrol agents apprehended just over 82,000 migrants who illegally crossed the border between ports of entry in June.
In January 2021, President Joe Biden signed executive orders eliminating or rescinding the successful policies of the Trump administration, Breitbart News reported at that time. During that month, Border Patrol agents apprehended just over 78,000 migrants who illegally crossed the southwest border between ports of entry.
That was the last time that CBP apprehension reports showed a five-digit number — until June 2024. In February 2021, agents apprehended more than 101,000 migrants, Breitbart Texas reported.
Agents along the southwest border with Mexico apprehended slightly more than 82,000 migrants in June — approximately 2,645 per day — according to an unofficial Border Patrol report obtained and reviewed by Breitbart Texas. On June 4, President Biden signed an executive order to limit migrant encounters to 2,500 per day, a feat his administration has yet to accomplish. Apprehensions in the San Diego, Tucson, and El Paso Sectors each apprehended more than 10,000 migrants in June. San Diego led with the arrest of more than 26,000 migrants. This was followed by more than 22,000 in the Tucson Sector and more than 14,500 in the El Paso Sector.
