US border migrant crossings fall for fifth month in a row

 


The number of unlawful crossings by migrants at the US southern border has dropped for the fifth consecutive month, according to official data.

US Border Patrol agents apprehended around 57,000 migrants along the border in July - the lowest recorded since September 2020.

The numbers are down significantly from December, when around 250,000 migrants were caught crossing the border

Border Patrol recorded 141,000 apprehensions in February, 137,000 in March, 129,000 in April, 118,000 in May and 84,000 in June.

The figures do not include official border crossings, where the Biden administration has been processing around 1,500 migrants each day through a smartphone app that schedules appointments between migrants and US border agents...more


And they will continue to drop until election day, and then...it depends on who wins the election, don't it.
