DHS Breaks Record with More than 300,000 Unauthorized Entries in August; Biden breaks border history with the highest EVER crossings in a month: Shocking figures reveal more than 300,000 migrants tried to get into the U.S. in August

DHS breaks record with more than 300,000 unauthorized entries in August:

Homeland Security saw 304,162 unauthorized migrants enter the country in August alone, breaking the previous monthly record and heightening the challenges confronting the Biden administration.

That includes roughly 181,000 illegal immigrants nabbed by Border Patrol agents at the southern border, up more than 36% compared to July.

But the bigger action is at the official ports of entry, where the Biden administration has set up several programs to welcome unauthorized migrants as long as they schedule their arrivals. The ports of entry reported 121,781 encounters with unauthorized migrants in August.

More than 50,000 of those arrived at airports and seaports, bypassing the southern border altogether and showing up deeper inside the U.S. where they quickly dispersed.

The previous monthly high for total illegal border encounters was set in December when authorities detected 302,412 migrants. By contrast, under the Trump administration in August 2020 the number was 65,707, or less than a quarter of what President Biden saw last month.

The numbers mark the latest embarrassment for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who just a few months ago took a victory lap as numbers at the southern border dipped. He said policies he’d put in place to prepare for the end of the pandemic emergency were working to tamp down on the flow of people.

They have come roaring back.

Biden breaks border history with the highest EVER crossings in a month: Shocking figures reveal more than 300,000 migrants tried to get into the U.S. in August:

More than 300,000 migrants attempted to cross into the United States in August, surpassing the national record, as the White House says border number ebb and flow.

Last month 304,162 were apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol, exceeding the previous record of 302,412 in December.

The figure is shocking because numbers usually drop during summertime months because of the excessive heat.

The numbers give Republican 2024 hopeful further ammunition to hit President Joe Biden with, as he runs for reelection and the administration downplays the problem.

The Washington Examiner first reported the total weeks ago, citing CBP sources.

This month the issue appears to be just as bad as shocking footage shows hundreds more migrants flooding over the southern border after leaving a cross-country cargo train known as ‘The Beast.’

Border officials have been left scrambling after being overwhelmed by refugees in recent weeks, with the small town of Eagle Pass, Texas becoming an epicenter of the crisis as over 11,500 people have flocked through in the last 10 days.

Many have traveled to the border on Mexico’s largest railroad network, known as ‘The Beast’, which has sparked further controversy after a number of deaths and injuries were reported from asylum seekers filling the vessel to the brim. —>READ MORE HERE
