The Biden administration was dealt a severe blow at the southern border in July as the number of immigrants encountered by U.S. authorities while attempting to enter from Mexico illegally soared following an initial decline at the conclusion of Title 42 in May.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection statistics released Friday afternoon revealed that Border Patrol agents arrested 132,652 immigrants between the ports of entry in July, up from 99,545 arrests in June.Biden administration officials at the Department of Homeland Security defended the increase as being down 27% from last July and lower than when they hit the highest levels in a century in the lead-up to May 11.
The spike poses new problems for the White House as it tried to incentivize immigrants to apply to the Biden administration's legal immigration pathways after Title 42 concluded. Republicans had feared a surge of immigrants would try to cross after Title 42, but instead, the surge of people came in the weeks leading up.
