Illegal immigrant arrests dropped 44% between the six weeks leading up to May 11, when the policy expired, and the six weeks afterward.American Immigration Council Policy Director Aaron Reichlin-Melnick said the lower numbers over the past month and a half are on par with the number of apprehensions federal law enforcement recorded early on in the Biden administration.
Border Patrol recorded approximately 285,000 arrests in the six weeks leading up to May 11, when agents made between 34,000 and 68,000 weekly arrests. Following the end of Title 42, border crossings have stabilized at ~4,000 a day , which would put June around the February 2021 level, the lowest month of Biden's presidency and about 40% of average daily crossings estimated to have occurred in Fiscal Year 2000. https://t.co/EY6g0ROk1x pic.twitter.com/g9mNh2OYjQ
"[Biden] is using the CBP One app to actually mask the number so [when someone] comes to the border, [Border Patrol is] telling [immigrants] to voluntarily return to Mexico, fill out the app, and then come in and they're immediately released," Green said in a Fox News interview last week."They're getting them paroled into the United States, against the laws, against the Immigration and Naturalization Act. So those numbers are hidden in another count.
