Border Patrol recorded 2,005,026 arrests since last October. Of those arrests, 78 were of individuals on the FBI&#8217;s terror watchlist, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/border-patrol-agents-nab-dozen-suspected-terrorists-southern-border-august\">triple<\/a> the number detained in the previous five years combined, Fox News reported. With a <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/highest-number-in-us-history-border-patrol-logs-8000-migrants-entering-us-each-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">record 8,000 migrants<\/a> encountered at the border every day, the White House faces growing criticism for its handling of the border crisis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We take what&#8217;s happening at the southern border very seriously, unlike some,&#8221; Gov. Ron DeSantis (R., Fla.) said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/facing-historic-biden-era-border-crisis-gop-governor-offensive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">speech<\/a> last Thursday, &#8220;and unlike the president of the United States, who has refused to lift a finger to secure that border.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In recent months, DeSantis as well as the governors of Texas and Arizona have <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/illegal-immigrants-get-the-boot-after-one-day-on-marthas-vineyard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transported migrants<\/a> to liberal cities whose leaders endorse lax immigration policies, bringing more attention to the crisis facing border cities.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the record migrants at the border, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has defended the Biden administration&#8217;s handling of the crisis. She claims they have taken &#8220;unprecedented action&#8221; at the southern border, including new border technology and anti-smuggling task forces. Biden administration officials <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/09\/19\/us\/politics\/us-border-arrests.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">emphasized<\/a> on Monday that more immigrants have been removed or expelled this year than any previous year.
