bighairymike: What about "at points of entry"?
Another game of semantics? You decide.
I've decided that you cannot be bothered to read the linked articles provided to you. Had you done so, you'd have had your answer and avoided asking an unnecessary and foolish question:
CBP is processing all migrants under Title 8 immigration authorities, and generally placing individuals who cross the border unlawfully into Expedited Removal or Section 240 Removal Proceedings. Noncitizens who cross between the ports of entry or who present at a port of entry without making a CBP OneTM appointment, are subject to the lawful pathways rule, which places a condition on asylum eligibility for those who fail to use lawful processes, with certain exceptions.
In June -- the first full month since the lifting of the Title 42 public health Order -- the U.S. Border Patrol recorded 99,545 encounters between ports of entry along the Southwest border: a 42% decrease from May 2023. Total Southwest border encounters in June, including individuals who presented at ports of entry with or without a CBP OneTM appointment, were 144,607, a 30% decrease from May 2023. These are the lowest monthly Southwest border encounter numbers since February 2021.
So, no, it's not semantics, it's you.
