The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has reported that there were 153,941 migrant encounters at our southern border in January, a 96% increase from the previous year. Of the 153,941 illegal immigrants encountered at the border, the Biden administration reportedly released 62,573 into the United States. NUMBERS DON’T LIE: Biden’s border crisis is only getting worse. BIDEN’S BORDER CRISIS BY THE NUMBERS:

• According to new Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) data there were 153,941 migrant encounters at our southern border in January.
  • That is a 96% increase from the previous year.
  • This was the worst January on record in over two decades.
• Of the 153,941 illegal immigrants encountered at the border, the Biden administration released 62,573 into the United States.
• This new data comes at a time when ICE deportations are down 70%from 2020, the fewest number of deportations in 5 years.
  • This equates to an average of just 100 deportations a day, even as border patrol agents encountered up to 7,000 illegal immigrants daily.
• Since Biden took office over 2 MILLION illegal immigrants have been apprehended at our southern border.

IT’S SIMPLE: Border security is national security, and under President Biden, we have neither.  Instead of securing our southern border, Biden and Congressional Democrats have doubled down on their failed open-border policies, which will only worsen the ongoing border crisis and make our communities less safe.
