Fewer Border Crossings After Title 42 Ends.
“Border agents have reported a significant decrease in the number of contacts with migrants crossing the southwest border in the days following the end of pandemic-era border restrictions, a Department of Homeland Security official said Monday.
Blas Nuñez-Neto, assistant secretary for border and immigration policy at DHS, told reporters that an average of fewer than 5,000 migrants had been encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border each of the last three days since the so-called Title 42 border policy was lifted.
That’s less than half of the number of migrants encountered at the border in the three days leading up to the end of the policy, when an average of more than 10,000 border crossings were logged each day, Nuñez-Neto said.”
The Nation’s Southern Border is a hot button issue as both political parties grapple with large numbers of Central and South Americans who are vying to enter America for a better life. Border crossings and immigration in general is extraordinarily divisive on both sides of the isle. The governors of both Texas and Florida have fanned the flames in the last year by sending many of the immigrants that land in their respective states to Northern ‘Sanctuary Cities’. Legislation that addresses modern immigration patterns would be the most effective way to help solve this vexing problem and hope for comprehensive immigration often show glimmers of hope but quickly dim in hyper partisan DC.
