In this story, AP brags about Biden reducing border crossing:
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials on Tuesday announced the latest border data, and it suggests the Biden administration is poised to end its term without an expected bump in illegal border crossings.
In December, Customs and Border Protection reported 47,300 illegal border crossings — a slight elevation from November, when it reported 46,612, approaching the lowest level since July 2020. The first two weeks of January also indicate activity has dropped, with about 45% fewer crossings than in December, according to senior CBP officials who spoke with reporters during a virtual press conference Tuesday.
Forty-seven THOUSAND illegal border crossings in one month. That was a reduction!
The high, which not surprisingly came in-between elections, was even worse.
Overall, the number of crossings demonstrate a downward trend from the high mark set under the Biden administration in December 2023, when arrests reached nearly 250,000. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas credited the Biden administration’s June 2024 proclamation that temporarily suspends asylum processing at the border when U.S. officials deem they are overwhelmed. “This is a consistent trend we have seen since the president’s proclamation went into effect last summer,” Mayorkas said. “Since then, encounters between ports of entry along the southwest border have dropped 60%.”

Two hundred and fifty THOUSAND arrests for illegal border crossing in one month. That is more than eight THOUSAND per day. That doesn't even include gottaways.
Our borders were overwhelmed, clearly, but so were our social services, schools, hospitals, and law enforcement. Still are, until we get rid of all those foreign criminals. But at least the hemoraging is stopped so we can work on healing.
Where would we be if Trump had not taken such strong measures to not only enforce the border, but it seems more importantly, to convince people that entering the U.S. illegally is not a good idea anymore?
What wants to go back to those days? Chime in here if you do. Make that your first sentence, then say what you want.
