Border officials in the U.S. arrested more than 2 million illegal immigrants in the past 11 months at the southern border.
There were 203,598 encounters along the southern border in August, a 1.7% increase over July’s 199,976 figure but lower than the 209,840 encounters recorded last August, the CBP said in a release on Monday.
Of the August total, the CPB said 157,921 were unique migrant encounters, while the remainder involved repeated encounters with migrants who had already been expelled or deported. Magnus said that the Biden administration is still working with leaders in Central and South American to address the “root causes of migration” of poverty, escalating crime and political upheaval. But Republicans, who blame President Biden’s lax immigration policies for opening the floodgates at the border, have seized on the crisis and have been shipping migrants into cities across the country to drive home the burdens an unsecured border can cause.
