During the first 21 days of May, U.S. Border Patrol agents recorded a daily average of approximately 3,700 apprehensions of migrants between official ports of entry. That represents a 54% decrease from the 8,000 daily average in December, when illegal entries soared to a quarter of a million, an all-time high.
May is also on track to see the third consecutive month-over-month drop in unlawful border crossings, the preliminary U.S. Department of Homeland Security statistics show. In March and April, illegal crossings along the southern border dropped to 137,000 and 129,000, respectively, according to public government data. If the trend continues, Border Patrol is on pace to record between 110,000 and 120,000 apprehensions in May....
...."We have driven down the number of encounters at our southern border rather dramatically," Mayorkas told CBS News.
Mayorkas cited a "number of actions that we have taken, not only strengthening our enforcement, not only attacking the smugglers, but also building lawful pathways that enable people who qualify for relief to reach the United States in a safe, orderly and legal way."SNIP
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/immigration-us-mexico...If I were to tell a "just so" story like MAGAs do, I would say that BIDEN is projecting huge strength at the border - while Trump is tryiong to save his weenie. Yessiree, Trumpolina never attacked any smugglers, he separated families to scare people.
