The\u200c surge in\u200d August \u200dis unusual\u200b because illegal immigration has historically declined\u2064 during the summer months when it is extremely hot near the border. The increase\u200c could mean even higher illegal immigration when temperatures drop in the fall.<\/p>\n<p>The unchecked border crisis not only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chinas-purchase-of-u-s-farmland-near-air-force-base-a-national-security-concern\/\" title=\"China's Purchase of U.S. Farmland Near Air Force Base a National Security Concern\">raises national security concerns<\/a> after the FBI determined a smuggler affiliated with the Islamic State had helped a group of immigrants from Uzbekistan illegally enter the United States earlier this year, but also highlights a political vulnerability for the White House just 14\u200d months out from Election Day.<\/p>\n<h3>Significant Increase in Apprehensions<\/h3>\n<p>The 182,401 apprehensions nationwide in August is nearly double the 100,611 non-U.S. citizens apprehended\u2063 in June, the first full month after Title 42, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-predicts-100-million-covid-19-cases-in-fall-and-winter-unless-the-feds-get-billions-in-funding\/\" title=\"White House Predicts 100 Million COVID-19 Cases In Fall And Winter Unless The Feds Get Billions In Funding\">pandemic public health policy<\/a>, was out of effect and Border Patrol agents were no longer\u2064 permitted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-border-crisis-roars-back-after-brief-title-42-reprieve-leaked-dhs-data\/\" title=\"Biden's border crisis returns with leaked DHS data.\">turn back illegal immigrants immediately<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At the southern border alone, the \u200bestimated 179,000 apprehensions were far above 99,539 in June and 132,652 in July.<\/p>\n<h3>Challenges for\u200c the Biden Administration<\/h3>\n<p>The numbers speak to the challenges that the Biden administration has had managing America&#8217;s borders since first taking office nearly 32 months ago. Illegal crossings surged\u2063 from \u200broughly 75,000 per month in each of the final months of President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration and swelled to more than 200,000 after\u200c Biden \u200btook office \u200cand reversed Trump&#8217;s immigration policies.<\/p>\n<p>The new\u200b numbers \u2063confirm \u2063a\u2062 prediction that former \u2063Border\u200c Patrol Chief\u200b Raul Ortiz made in early June during \u200ba private briefing with lawmakers in \u2064which he said that the Biden administration&#8217;s success getting illegal \u200dcrossings to drop after Title\u2064 42 ended would only\u200b be short-lived.<\/p>\n<p>It also \u2062spells trouble \u200dfor Department of\u200d Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who was\u200c given a short-lived reprieve from congressional Republicans&#8217; fury over the high number of border crossings after arrests dipped earlier this summer. The House \u2062Homeland Security Committee is halfway through \u200da six-part\u200d hearing \u200dseries examining the state of the border under Mayorkas&#8217;s tenure.<\/p>\n<p>Despite\u200b the\u200b undeniable increase, as recently \u2062as Thursday, the \u2063White House continued\u2062 to\u200d call its\u200d border policies a success.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The president has done \u200dmore to secure \u200bthe border and to deal with this issue of immigration than anybody else. He really has,&#8221; White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre \u2063said during a\u200d press briefing Thursday.<\/p>\n<h3>Shift in Demographics<\/h3>\n<p>Aside from the increase in total arrests, the number of \u2063families \u200dcrossing was the biggest shift \u200cin demographics. Nationwide, 93,403 immigrants crossed the border \u2064and claimed to \u200bbe\u2063 part of a family \u2014 the highest number seen in Border Patrol&#8217;s 99-year existence.<\/p>\n<p>The 93,403 family members represented more\u2064 than \u2062half (or 51%) of the\u200b 182,401 total \u2063immigrants apprehended. In the\u200c first 10\u2063 months of fiscal 2023, which will end later this month, 25% of all Border Patrol apprehensions were families. The change in demographics shows that human smugglers and Mexican cartels that\u200b facilitate the smuggling of people may be shifting in who \u2063they are recruiting.<\/p>\n<h3>Government&#8217;s Response<\/h3>\n<p>The DHS defended\u200b its handling of the border crisis and touted that 200,000 people were sent back outside the country since May, including \u200d17,000 family members. The 17,000 family members are only 5% of the more than \u200c184,000 people \u2062who crossed the border since May, meaning the \u2063remaining 167,000 people \u2062were released into the U.S. \u200dor remain in\u200d custody.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis Administration continues \u200dto lead the largest \u2062expansion of \u2063lawful\u200b pathways in decades, which has reduced irregular migration\u2063 while facilitating safe, orderly, and humane management of our borders,&#8221; \u200ba DHS spokesperson said in\u200d an email Friday that \u2064did not\u200d dispute the leaked border numbers. &#8220;But \u2063as with every\u200b year, the U.S. is seeing ebbs and flows of migrants arriving fueled by seasonal trends and the efforts of smugglers to use disinformation to prey on vulnerable migrants and encourage \u2062migration.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The \u2064Biden \u200badministration\u2062 has sought to process immigrants who make an initial claim for \u2064asylum while they are in custody at the\u200b border as opposed to releasing\u2062 people \u200cinto the\u2064 U.S.<\/p>\n<p>However, a 2015 court ruling barred the government from holding children\u200d or families\u200d in\u200c custody for more than 20 days. In addition, the Biden \u2062administration\u2063 shuttered large family \u2064residential centers where the government had held \u2064immigrant \u2064families through court\u200d proceedings, leaving\u2063 no space to detain people.<\/p>\n<p>The influx of families and shortage of space have created ideal circumstances for smugglers to flood the \u200dborder with families, knowing \u2064that the U.S. government cannot accommodate \u2063the large volume of \u200cpeople and will resort to releasing immigrants into the\u2064 country, further burdening\u200d places such as New\u2063 York City, Chicago, and Massachusetts.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, NBC reported\u2063 that the Pentagon had extended the federal\u2062 deployment \u2064of\u200c troops at the border\u200c through the end \u2062of the fiscal year, Sept. 30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Border Patrol agents arrested nearly double the amount of illegal immigrants in August compared to June, posing a major setback for the Biden administration.
