Border Crossings Might Be Declining — But That’s Not The Whole Story

Illegal migrants continue to flood into the U.S. despite a recent decline in border crossings due to the prevalence of alternative modes of entry under the Biden-Harris administration, masquerading the true scope of the border crisis.
The number of recorded illegal border crossings has dropped significantly in the past few months following an executive order from President Joe Biden capping border entries, the most recent Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data show. Despite the apparent easing, illegal migrants have continued to enter the U.S. through other means, such as the CBP One app and the CHNV program.
