Border Crisis: More Than 212K Crossing Attempts Stopped Last Month
More than 212,000 illegal immigrants attempting to cross the US-Mexico border were stopped by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) last month, a staggering number that is likely to put more pressure on the Biden administration amid the ongoing crisis.
The 212,672 stops in July represented a 12.6 percent increase over June, when 188,934 stops were reported. The only month in the last 21 years with more encounters was March of 2000, when 220,063 stops were reported at the southwest frontier.
The number of attempts to cross the US-Mexico border has risen every month since President Joe Biden took office, defying the trend of previous years in which attempted crossings peaked in May but slowed down with the onset of the summer heat. The July figures mark a 171 percent increase over the 78,417 stops reported in January and a 160 percent increase over the 81,777 stops in July 2019.
Most alarmingly, CBP has already stopped more than 1.1 million illegal border crossing attempts this calendar year. (Read more from “Border Crisis: More Than 212K Crossing Attempts Stopped Last Month” HERE)
