WASHINGTON — Apprehensions of migrants crossing the southwestern border were down for the second month in a row in July, but the number in just the first 10 months of the government’s fiscal year already exceeds the total during the previous year, setting a record, according to data released Monday.
Unauthorized crossings typically decline during the summer months. Even so, the number of apprehensions each month continues to be higher than most of the previous years. That pattern has continued since the spring of 2021, a trend Republicans blame on President Joe Biden’s campaign promise to be more welcoming to immigrants than his predecessor, and on the policies of his administration.
By the end of June, border officials apprehended people more than 1.74 million times, breaking the record from the total number during the government’s 2021 fiscal year of more than 1.73 million, which at the time was the highest number of illegal crossings recorded since at least 1960. The government’s fiscal year ends Sept. 30, and at this rate, the total number of crossings for the year is likely to exceed 2 million.
“The border crisis is out of control,” Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said in a Twitter post Monday.
Immigration continues to be a hot issue going into the midterm elections this fall. A recent Gallup poll found that more people want an overall reduction in immigration than felt that way in 2020. Most of those who want less immigration identified as Republican, according to the findings.

Just touting Biden's accomplishments...
Uh oh? I guess Abbott’s gamble is paying off by bussing the invaders straight to New York! For the New York slimes to even report on it it must be making an impact! Good! Keep it up governor Abbott! Start applying the screws tightly around their sanctuary city motto by sending 1000 buses with criminal invaders their way! 100, 200 ain’t gonna cut it you’ve gotta send a massive amount to the welcoming city of New York and DC!!
The numbers at the border likely change in response to the need of our corporations deemed persons pursuant to the Citizen’s United case.
Visiting family in Tucson was revealing. A huge bread truck was driven into restaurant parking lot by a short, heavy set woman. She could not handle anything about truck or delivery competently, including rolling the delivery into fhe door of the restaurant.
On her way out one of our group spoke to her in English, repeating the statement over a few times, even trying different words. The only response was huh?
Then the same person spoke to her in Español. Habla, habla habla from the woman.
Ran into same thing in major retail businesses lately.
For every person like her, an American citizen lost a job or the chance at a job because the corps want cheap incompetent labor, rather than pay a decent wage to an American.
How to destroy a culture and ultimately a Republic.
Another milestone for Biden.
Change promised, change delivered.
