Illegal immigration surged significantly in March, according to the latest Homeland Security numbers that suggest the Biden administration’s new program to try to discourage unauthorized border crossers is already losing its teeth.
Migrants are still rushing to take advantage of the new pathway President Biden created for illegal immigrants to enter through official ports of entry, but which was supposed to take pressure off Border Patrol agents at the southern border.
The numbers are particularly worrying given that the pandemic-era Title 42 expulsion authority expires next month, and Homeland Security will lose a key deterrent tool. In testimony last month he had celebrated the new program to try to encourage illegal immigrants to come in a more orderly fashion, pointing to a severe drop in the numbers of Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, Haitians and Cubans sneaking across the boundary.But increases in Mexicans, Central Americans, Colombians and Peruvians have eaten into that success.
