Illegal immigration soars under Biden to third-highest in 97 years
Border Patrol surpassed 169,000 encounters in March and 173,000 in April as Biden eased border policies, including ending the Migrant Protection Protocols implemented under Trump that had forced migrants to live in Mexico while asylum cases made it through the courts.
The change meant people fleeing their homes or coming to America for economic reasons would overwhelmingly be apprehended at the border but quickly released into the U.S., oftentimes not being given court dates but told to self-report to Immigration and Customs Enforcement in whichever city they ended up. If they showed up to ICE, they would be given documents that allow them to work in the U.S. legally, and only then would they be put into the immigration court system, which has 1.4 million cases before approximately 500 federal immigration judges.
Mayorkas falsely stated in September that migrants were put in court proceedings when released from the border. However, the majority of migrants released from Border Patrol custody are not put in court proceedings. Because asylum-seekers cannot seek protection until appearing before a judge, the Biden administration's releasing people without first giving them court dates makes seeking asylum a challenge for migrants.
Border officials continued to make more than 170,000 encounters in each of May and June then the number jumped to more than 200,000 in July and 195,000 in August. In September, the final month of fiscal year 2021, 192,000 migrants were stopped at the southern border.
