The Washington Post - A True Bastion For Biased Conservative Misinformation
Excepts from the article:
“
Illegal border crossings soared to record levels under President Biden, averaging 2 million per year from 2021 to 2023. The migrants have arrived in every state in the country, overwhelming cities such as
New York,
Chicago and
Denver as newcomers seek shelter and aid.”
“
Illegal border crossings soared in the months after Biden took office and rolled back many Trump-era restrictions. Biden warned that he would still enforce immigration laws, and he temporarily kept in place a Trump pandemic policy known as Title 42 that allowed authorities to quickly expel border crossers.
Once his administration announced it would not use the Title 42 policy to turn back unaccompanied minors who arrived without a parent or guardian, their numbers spiked. Images of migrant children and teens packed shoulder-to-shoulder in detention facilities produced the administration’s first border emergency.”
“Teens and children crossing without their parents arrived in record numbers during the first three years of Biden’s presidency. Families and single adults have crossed at historic rates as well.”
“
Migrants are coming from a wider variety of countries than ever before. In 2019, the busiest year for border crossings under Trump, about 80 percent of migrants taken into U.S. custody were from Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras. Last year those three countries accounted for fewer than half of all border crossings. Migrants from Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Senegal and Mauritania — along with other nations in Africa, Europe and Asia — have crossed from Mexico in numbers U.S. authorities have never seen.
For example, 14,965 migrants from China arrived across the southern border between October 2023 and December 2023, Border Patrol data shows, up from 29 over that same period in 2020. The Border Patrol encountered 9,518 migrants from India during that same three-month span, compared with 56 during that period in 2020.“
“
The Biden administration has released more than 3.3 million border crossers into the United States since 2021. Those migrants make up less than half of the 7.6 million who have been apprehended at the southern border.”
“The U.S. immigration court system — a branch of the Department of Justice —
was facing a huge case backlog when Biden took office, and the number of cases has more than doubled since then, surpassing 3 million.”
Yeah… the illegal invasion of our country hasn’t been any different at all under Biden since he took office. What are you smoking, dude?
