WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. border authorities arrested 210,000 migrants attempting to cross the border with Mexico in March, the highest monthly total in two decades and underscoring challenges in the coming months for U.S. President Joe Biden.
The March total is a 24% increase from the same month a year earlier, when 169,000 migrants were picked up at the border, the start of a rise in migration that left thousands unaccompanied children stuck in crowded border patrol stations for days while they awaited placement in overwhelmed government-run shelters.
Biden, a Democrat who took office in January 2021, pledged to reverse many of the hardline immigration policies of his Republican predecessor, former President Donald Trump, but has struggled both operationally and politically with high numbers of attempted crossings.
U.S. officials are preparing for as many as 18,000 migrant encounters per day in the coming weeks, but are also readying for smaller increases.
The 210,000 migrants arrested in March, a figure made public in a court filing on Friday night, is the highest monthly total on record since February 2000, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection statistics dating back to 2000.
Another 11,000 migrants attempted to enter at a legal crossing along the southwest border in March without a valid visa or permission, the court filing said.
Roughly half of the migrants encountered in March were expelled under the Title 42 order, the court filing said.

Arrested and promptly deported right???!
But how many of those arrested will be sent back?
There is no border and the people in power don’t care.
IA minefield would be effective in stopping the invasion.
I hate the term "migrants" because it does not distinguish between legal and illegal.
Illegals pay between $4,000 and $10,000 to be smuggled into the United States. It's much higher if coming from Europe or Asia
210,000 people x $10,000 = $2,100,000,000
That's the revenue from just one month.
The cartels are making a fortune, and it doesn't even count the drugs that may get smuggled in with the illegal aliens.
The US government continues the human trafficking from the US border into the interior of the country.
210,000 (minus an estimated 20% children) new 2024 voters...
Not bad, for just one month...
Of course, the really big crowds of MIVs will be here in May, June, July, August, September, October, November, etc..etc...
These short-term (2022 election) polls do not have much effect on communist long-term strategies...
Ex-vice president Dementia Joe has solved the problem. If you don’t arrest them at all, the numbers fall to zero.
The GOP is on the job...
Four busloads (totally about 100 MIVs) have been shipped to DC by the TX governor...
200,000 MIVs in March minus 100 MIVs shipped to DC...
Hmmm...
Kamala is doing a great job…
They are happy to be here. I get that. Yet, they will vote democrat to get more benefits, and will destroy our country.
arrested and released into the US, how absolutely stupid.
What about the 756,000 that were released into the US?
Only a very strong President, in 2025, is going to be able to solve this. That President is going to have to make very easy(IMHO), yet drastic decisions about denying benefits, mass deportations, denying Medicaid/Medicare to doctors and hospitals that are treating illegals.
Completely seal off the border and give US corporations the opportunity to move manufacturing out of Mexico and back to the US. Otherwise, the difficulty of getting across the border and tariffs will crush them. Someone will pick up the slack when the opportunity arises.
It’s a revolving door.
They are arrested, some are allowed to enter.
The others go back into Mexico.
They cross our border again.
Some are allowed to enter the US.
The others return to Mexico.
They cross our border again.
Some are allowed in......
I hate them. I hate them all and the politicians who are turning America into a Third World s**thole.
Attention Ted Hesson and US News: They are not ‘migrants.’ They are ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIENS. Every one of them. Maybe someday we’ll have a government that treats them for what they are.
If the 50-60 million criminal illegal aliens all had the same uniform on, we’d look like an occupied country.
Migrants come and go. These are staying and milking the system for all they can.
210,000 x 12 months = 2,520,000
x 20 of the past years = 5,040,000
x 8 kids and grandkids = 40,320,000
Which is more than the population of California.
