On May 14, the Biden administration said that
migrant crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border
have fallen since Title 42 expired.
The numbers we have experienced in
the past two days are markedly down over
what they were prior to the end of Title 42, Alejandro Mayorkas, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary, via Reuters.
According to U.S. Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas, border patrol agents have
reported a 50% drop in crossings since May 11. .
Mayorkas said that criminal penalties for migrants
entering the country illegally accounted for
the decrease in illegal border crossings.
There is a lawful, safe and orderly way
to arrive in United States. That is through
the pathways that President Biden has
expanded in an unprecedented way,
and then there's a consequence if one
does not use those lawful pathways, Alejandro Mayorkas, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary, via Reuters.
Reuters reports that officials in communities near the
border say that the expected surge of migrants many fear
will strain border facilities and towns is still on the way. .
The amount of migrants
we were expecting initially
- the big flow - is not here yet, Victor Trevino, Mayor of Laredo, Texas, via Reuters.
Others pointed out that while the surge experienced at
the border has yet to reach the magnitude of what
was expected, numbers still remain historically high.
What the secretary failed to say is,
this week has seen more crossings
than any time, any week, in our history, Representative Mark Green, Republican chairman of
the House Homeland Security Committee, via CNN
