You wouldn't know it from corporate media coverage of President Joe Biden's border crisis, but U.S. Customs and Border Protection arrested yet another historic high in illegal Southern border crossers, 154,998 in February.
The number of border arrests may be down more than 11,000 from February 2022 historically speaking, it's far higher than the number of arrests recorded in 21 of the past 23 years.
Not only are border arrests up from past years, so are detainments of illegal crossers who appear on the FBI's terror watchlist.
Outlets like the Associated Press, amplified by NBC, and CBS celebrated the "Two-year low" as a success for Biden who ignored the border crisis for two years before recently debuting some ill-named "Enforcement" policies that won't stop the flood of illegal migration.
"For the first time since Mr. Biden took office, Border Patrol agents did not record a spike in migrant apprehensions in the month of February, when migration flows to the U.S. southern border have typically increased before peaking in the spring," CBS cheered.
"The figures provide a boost to Biden administration officials at a time when their border measures are facing court challenges and scalding criticism from Republicans and Democrats," WaPo claimed.
Only one of the media mouthpieces, WaPo, mentioned the rise in groups designed to overwhelm border agents.
