That\u2019s up nearly 13,000 from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbp.gov\/newsroom\/stats\/southwest-land-border-encounters\">221,303<\/a> southwest border apprehensions recorded in March, marking back-to-back record-breaking months. Prior to March, the last time southwest border arrests surpassed 220,000 was March of 2000. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-04-at-3.51.07-PM-1024x444-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-271944\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-04-at-3.51.07-PM-1024x444-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-04-at-3.51.07-PM-300x130.png 300w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-04-at-3.51.07-PM-768x333-1.png 768w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-04-at-3.51.07-PM-1200x522-1.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screen-Shot-2022-05-04-at-3.51.07-PM.png 1204w\"><\/figure>\n<p>Already, border officials have logged at least <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/03\/29\/fiscal-year-2022-border-encounters-will-hit-1-million-right-before-peak-migration-season\/\">one million\u00a0<\/a>arrests just six months into the 2022 fiscal year, putting them on track to record more than 2 million apprehensions by the end of the fiscal year.<\/p>\n<p>This record-breaking projection should come as no surprise after illegal immigration surged in February 2021 immediately after President Biden took office and repealed a raft of Trump-era border policies. Instead of addressing the sharp rise in illegal immigration on his watch, Biden is preparing to scale back even more border protections, most notably <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/04\/08\/no-matter-if-title-42-stays-or-goes-a-massive-migrant-influx-is-coming\/\">Title 42<\/a>,\u00a0a public health order designed to expedite the expulsion of illegal border crossers during the Covid-19 pandemic. The repeal of Title 42 is set to go into effect on May 23, and currently there is no plan in place to handle the inevitably surge in illegal crossings. <\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration\u2019s attempt to revoke the expulsion policy is currently being blocked by a federal judge in Louisiana, but word about the end of Title 42 has already spread among smugglers and other migrant networks. As a result, thousands upon thousands of illegal immigrants will trek to the U.S. southern border in coming weeks in hopes of filing asylum claims and getting released into the United States.<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/572044598\/New-FDRLST-Susquehanna-Poll-Shows-GOP-With-10-Point-Generic-Ballot-Lead-Strong-Approval-For-Elon-Musk-s-Twitter-Purchase-Opposition-To-Trans-Sports?secret_password=2sAPypYPkSaStaxAy8rG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new poll from The Federalist and Susquehanna Polling &#038; Research<\/a>, 52 percent of likely voters disapprove of Biden\u2019s handling of the illegal immigration crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border while only 34 percent approve. Despite Biden\u2019s flailing approval ratings, the president and his border czar Vice President Kamala Harris have largely ignored the growing crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of focusing on the influx of illegal immigration, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has been preoccupied creating a <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/05\/02\/how-republican-senators-can-defund-bidens-dystopic-disinformation-board\/\">government disinformation board<\/a> led by Russian collusion hoaxer and Hunter Biden laptop denier Nina Jankowicz.<\/p>\n<p>Border enforcement officials have said that if Title 42 is ended without a replacement mechanism to expel illegal border-crossers, federal law enforcement could be facing up to 18,000 apprehensions per day, and up to 500,000 per month.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>\n  Jordan Boyd is a staff writer at The Federalist and co-producer of The Federalist Radio Hour.
