Numbers Expected Show U.S. Closing In On One Million Illegal Immigrant Apprehensions In 2021\">illegal immigrant apprehensions<\/a> at the U.S. southern border, highlighting a historic single-day low of just 116 individuals detained by Border Patrol on July 20.In July only 7,382 illegal immigrants were encountered, marking a nearly 93% drop compared to figures during the Biden administration. This decline contrasts sharply with the record 14 million illegal immigrants estimated to be in the U.S. by Pew Research in 2023, a surge linked to Biden&#8217;s more open border policies. The House Commitee on Homeland Security attributes the recent decrease to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >stricter border enforcement measures implemented<\/a> under former President Donald Trump, including policies that effectively halted the release of inadmissible aliens into American communities. Additionally, the report notes a notable reduction in migrant crossings through key transit areas like Panama&#8217;s Darien Gap. Committee Chairman Rep. Andrew Garbarino stated that the low numbers indicate an end to exploitation of the border by smugglers, gang members, and other criminal elements. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">New record: Border Patrol seizes fewest illegal immigrants in one day<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2178707\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Two years after former President Joe Biden&rsquo;s open border policies pushed the illegal migrant population in America to a new record of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3760400\/illegal-immigrant-population-reached-14-million-under-biden-in-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">14 million,<\/a> officials today revealed that President Donald Trump just set a new, more positive record.<\/p>\n<p>On July 20, the fewest ever number of illegal immigrants were seized on the southern border.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3762400\/majority-support-trump-crime-crackdown-dc\/\">Majority support Trump&rsquo;s anti-crime takeover of DC<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3762276\/feds-target-immigrants-posing-as-citizens-trying-to-vote-get-social-security\/\">Feds target immigrants posing as citizens trying to vote, get Social Security<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/washington-secrets\/3760130\/fifty-million-dollars-bail-out-public-tv-radio-stations-defunding-public-media\/\">Fifty million dollars sought to bail out public TV and radio stations<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;The Border Patrol apprehended just 116 illegal aliens &mdash; the lowest single-day total in agency history,&rdquo; according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/homeland.house.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">House Committee on Homeland Security.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The panel&rsquo;s new report also showed that the number of illegal immigrants encountered at the Southwest border in July was a record low of 7,382, a drop of nearly 93% from the Biden era. &ldquo;This is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/unsung-benefit-of-tough-border-policy-on-full-display-number-of-us-bound-migrants-plummets-to-levels-not-seen-in-years\/\" title=\"Unsung Benefit of Tough ...
