Ted Cruz (R-TX) claimed that the southern border is experiencing an &#8220;invasion&#8221; and stated that &#8220;it&#8217;s never been remotely this bad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) has criticized the Department of Homeland Security, accusing it of encouraging immigrants to go to ports of entry to meet with customs officials instead of entering illegally.<\/p>\n<p>However, Green&#8217;s argument contradicts the previous stance of the Trump administration, which called for immigrants to surrender at ports to seek asylum. Green now claims that the Biden administration is paroling in immigrants who would have otherwise crossed illegally, considering it an abuse of the parole mechanism.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 272,000 people encountered nationwide by federal police in May, 170,000 attempted to enter illegally between the ports, while 102,000 went to a port of entry, including fewer than 30,000 people who obtained appointments with customs officers.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that the number of appointments does not equate to the number of people released on parole into the U.S.; it only indicates how many immigrants had appointments.<\/p>\n<p>Even if the nearly 30,000 had crossed illegally, the number of Border Patrol arrests for the month would have been just below 200,000, lower than seven previous months under Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Despite differing opinions on the numbers, it is evident that there has been a notable decrease in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-recruiting-gop-senators-for-amnesty-deal\/\" title=\"Democrats Recruiting GOP Senators for Amnesty Deal\">illegal border crossings<\/a> since the expiration of Title 42.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Illegal immigrant arrests have plummeted by 44% since the Biden administration ended public health policy Title 42, as per government data.
