"Biden's Border Strategy Crumbles as Migrant Numbers Reach Record Highs"

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced that September saw the highest monthly encounters and fiscal year total on record at the southern border, with 269,735 migrant encounters and a total of 2.48 million migrants for FY 23. The numbers highlight the challenges faced by the Biden administration's border strategy, which aimed to reassert consequences for illegal entry while expanding lawful pathways for migrants. The administration has requested $14 billion in funding for its border strategy, including more staffing and resources. The surge in numbers has led to criticism from both Republicans and Democrats, with concerns about the strain on resources and the potential security risks.

The sector has seen 2,000 illegal crossings a day for three days, and sources indicate that migrant encounters for August are on track to exceed 230,000. Border Patrol leadership has set "bookout" targets to manage capacity issues, proposing the release of migrants with Notices to Appear at a future court date. Republicans and conservatives are pushing for a border security overhaul, blaming the Biden administration for fueling the crisis with its policies.

Title 42 leads to 70% drop in migrant encounters at US border.

The Biden administration has reported a 70% drop in migrant numbers at the southern border since the expiration of the Title 42 public health order, which allowed for the rapid expulsion of migrants for public health purposes. The drop in numbers has bucked predictions that the end of the order would lead to a surge in migrants. The administration credits its border measures, including greater cooperation with Mexico and stiffer punishments for illegal entry, for the decrease in numbers. However, the administration remains cautious and acknowledges that the underlying conditions prompting historic migration in the Western Hemisphere remain.
