Early on September 22, I predicted CBP would release its border statistics for the month of August - which were predicted to be bad and which should have been published a week before - late on that Friday, in what's referred to in D.C. as a "News dump".
In October 2019 - the first month of FY 2020 - for example, 35,402 of the 45,139 encounters at the Southwest border were Border Patrol apprehensions.
"Not for long" was about as long as I had expected, as in August, Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 181,000 illegal entrants at the Southwest border.
Border Patrol keeps monthly apprehension statistics going all the way back to FY 2000, and prior to Joe Biden taking office in January 2021, agents hadn't apprehended more than 181,000 illegal migrants at the Southwest border in any single month since March 2000, when they nabbed just over 220,000 aliens who had come illegally to this country over the U.S.-Mexico line.
Few Border Patrol agents are actually patrolling the border.
Nearly 52,000 of those encounters took place at the Southwest land border ports, and almost 19,000 occurred at the Northern land border ports.
Long story short: CBP's nationwide August alien encounter numbers are the worst in history in every possible way - total encounters, Southwest port encounters, Border Patrol family apprehensions - with increasing numbers of kids showing up alone, widening gaps for cartel exploitation, and the White House's responses all failing.
