Border Crisis Still Breaking DANGEROUS Records

There have been more than 200,000 migrant incidents at the southern border in August, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) approved on Wednesday, the second month in a row where the amount has been over the 200,000 marks as migrants keep trying to invade the U.S.

Fox News first announced that there were 208,887 encounters in August. While it states the first drop in migrant encounters seen under the Biden administration, where migrant confrontations have been clearly increasing for months, it is only a 2% drop over the more than 212,000 encounters in July.

Moreover, the 208,887 number for August expresses a 317% increase over last August 2020 which saw 50,014 encounters — and a 233% increase over August 2019, where there were 62,707 amid that year's border crisis.

In August, 49% of arrests were single adults, falling 7% from July, and 44% of migrants overall were expelled via Title 42 public health protections put in place under the Trump administration and continued by the Biden administration.

The Biden administration has been dismissing single adults and some migrant families under the order executed due to COVID-19 but has not been expelling unaccompanied children or migrant families with young children.

There were 18,847 collisions of unaccompanied children in August, down slightly from July, and 86.487 encounters of family units, marking a 4% increase over July. Just 19% of encounters involving family unit individuals resulted in a Title 42 expulsion.

"The men and women at CBP continue to step up to meet the demands of high numbers of encounters at our southern border," acting CBP Commissioner Troy Miller said in a statement. "CBP recorded 2 percent fewer encounters in August than July. The vast majority of single adults encountered in August, along with a substantial share of families, continued to be expelled under the CDC's Title 42 authority."

The Biden administration has met severe backlash for its approach to the crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border, which Republican critics have accused of the dramatic rollback of Trump-era policies like border wall construction and the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP).

It has also narrowed interior Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) priorities and pushed hard for the legalization of illegal immigrants already in the country. It has also been releasing migrants into the interior, processing UACs to sponsors already in the country, and releasing migrant families -- angering Republican governors and other lawmakers.

The Biden administration has countered back, accusing the Trump administration of sealing off legal pathways to asylum, while emphasizing the role that root causes -- like poverty, violence, and crime in Central America -- add to the migrants traveling north.
