Mr. Mayorkas said. &#8220;We have\u200d accelerated our refugee processing, \u2062we have instituted family \u200creunification programs, we use our discretionary authority under humanitarian\u2064 parole and we are meeting people where they are.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At\u200b the same time, we\u2064 have sought to disincentivize people \u2064from taking that dangerous journey and we raised \u200cthe evidentiary threshold that one\u2064 must meet to make an asylum claim at the border,&#8221;\u2062 Mr. Mayorkas added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Border Patrol Data Shows Encounters Down<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to \u2064these efforts, the \u2064Biden administration has expanded access \u2062to CBP One, \u200ban app that allows migrants to \u200cschedule appointments to\u200d approach a border port of entry. They have also equipped some immigrant families who \u2062cross the U.S.-Mexico \u200cborder illegally and seek asylum with GPS ankle monitors for continuous tracking by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.<\/p>\n<p>However,\u2062 critics argue \u200bthat President Biden&#8217;s policies, such as the family reunification \u200bparole process\u2063 and \u200dvarious other pathways for legal entry and work authorization, have allowed up to 100,000 individuals from Honduras, Guatemala, and \u200dEl Salvador into the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these concerns, recent data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reveals a decline in total encounters with illegal immigrants along the Southwest border in \u200cJune.<\/p>\n<p>According to CBP, encounters at the border, including individuals who presented at ports of entry with or \u2064without a CBP appointment, dropped to their lowest level in over two years, marking a 30 percent decrease from the previous month.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Border Patrol \u200brecorded\u2064 a 42 percent decrease in encounters \u200bbetween ports of entry\u200d compared to May.<\/p>\n<p>Troy Miller, CBP senior official performing the\u2063 duties of the commissioner, attributed the decline in encounters to the agency&#8217;s enforcement efforts under Title 8 authorities and the expansion of lawful pathways.<\/p>\n<h3>Changes to Data Reporting<\/h3>\n<p>While the Biden administration\u2064 celebrates the decrease in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lawmakers-debate-utility-of-border-war-in-combating-illegal-immigration-crisis\/\" title=\"Lawmakers discuss effectiveness of Border War in tackling immigration crisis.\">illegal border \u200bcrossings<\/a>, House \u200dRepublican lawmakers have raised concerns \u200babout alleged changes in the reporting of illegal entries into\u2063 the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Mark \u200cMorgan,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>over 60% decrease in illegal border crossings due to Biden administration&#8217;s immigration rules, as stated by Alejandro Mayorkas, Homeland Security Secretary.
