Border Numbers Show Crisis ‘Is Never Going to End’ With Biden in Office
More than 170,000 illegal aliens were encountered after unlawfully crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in May according to the latest numbers released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Nationwide, border agents encountered more than 241,000 illegal aliens last month.
The Biden administration will seek to take an undeserved victory lap on May’s number by noting it is lower than the all-time records set earlier in the president’s term — but they’re still evidence of the unmitigated disaster created and allowed to continue by Biden.
In a statement, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) said “May’s numbers show that President Biden and impeached Secretary Mayorkas’ border crisis is never going to end as long as they are in charge. Border Patrol apprehensions at the Southwest border were roughly four times what Obama-era DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson said ‘overwhelms the system,'” Green noted.
While many eyes are, rightfully, on the crisis at the southern border, Green emphasized that illegal alien encounters in May set a new record for the month with 18,664 — only around 1,000 fewer than the all-time northern border encounter record set last August.
“Encounters at official ports of entry also remain at historic levels, because Biden and Mayorkas have implemented unlawful policies like the CBP One and CHNV mass-parole schemes,” added Green, explaining how the Biden administration uses such schemes in its attempts to obfuscate the dire consequences of open-border policies.
