Unprecedented increase in border arrests in Biden’s government



According to IRNA on Saturday, the Washington Times wrote: The detention of 1,659,206 immigrants has reached its highest level in the last 12 months, which is an increase of about 15,000 compared to the unprecedented arrests in fiscal year 2000.

Apart from detaining illegal immigrants trying to enter US territory through port entrances, Border Patrol officials at the southern border of the country have encountered another 75,000 illegal immigrants trying to enter through official border crossings but without a permit. To enter the United States.

In September alone, border and customs agencies and border guards had 192,000 cross-border encounters with illegal immigrants, unprecedented in previous years in September. In each of the months of July and August (July to September), more than 200,000 border encounters were recorded in the United States.

All of these border riots occurred in the eight months of the year that the Biden government came to power, and 83% of cross-border patrols occurred during the year.

In the US House of Representatives, Republican leader Kevin McCarthy said the situation on the southern border had only worsened in the months since Biden took office.

According to security experts, the increase is due to Biden’s domestic policies, which have eased some austerity measures and given immigrants hope that they could enter the United States.

In December, the last month of the administration of former US President Donald Trump, only 17 illegal immigrants were arrested and released in the United States. In July, when the Biden government took office, the numbers rose to more than 60,000.

The Biden government faces the challenge of global migration. More than 36 percent of cross-border immigration cases in September were unprecedented – involving immigrants from outside Mexico, including immigrants from Central America, including Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.

The Biden administration repealed most of the Trump administration’s austerity policies following the 2019 immigration boost. But one of the main policies, including allowing the immediate deportation of many illegal immigrants under the pretext of the Corona epidemic.

The fiscal year 2021, which ended on September 30, was the worst year ever for unaccompanied migrants, with approximately 147,000 arrested in the past 12 months. Last spring, the crowded presence of this group of migrants at border patrol stations led to a humanitarian crisis.
