A 22-year high in apprehensions along the U.S.-Mexico border in March was partly fueled by record arrivals of migrants from Cuba, Nicaragua, Colombia and Ukraine, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) figures released this week show.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) processed migrants 221,303 times along the southern border in March, a 33% jump from February and the highest tally since 2000, according to agency statistics. CBP said 159,900 encounters in March represented unique migrants, citing a 28% rate of repeat border crossings.
The spike in migrant arrivals was also partly driven by a 33% increase in apprehensions of single adults, who accounted for 169,062 — or 76% — of all border encounters.
"There's no precedent for this," Adam Isacson, a migration policy analyst for the Washington Office on Latin America, told CBS News. "This change in nationalities is remarkable."
In March, 81% of U.S. apprehensions of migrants from Mexico and Central America's Northern Triangle along the southern border resulted in expulsions under Title 42, according to CBP data. Conversely, just 2% of the apprehensions of migrants from other countries led to expulsions.
Since it was instituted by the Trump administration in March 2020, Title 42 has allowed U.S. officials along the Mexican border carry out over 1.8 million expulsions of migrants, 75% of which have occurred under President Biden, government statistics show.

The “fundamental transformation” of the USA into North Mexico is almost complete.
Daddy Bush would be pleased.
All of these invaders can be deported when we get a real president in power. I can dream. Can’t I?
So is his little muchacho.
They should be, then guess what, that will be the ultimate deterrent.
I’m sure NOW the Biden administration will do something about the border. Can’t have all these white people coming in.
I would like to hear Republicans and Trump talk about deporting these people that have come since Biden opened the border.
And, according to international law none of these can be refugees. To be a refugee you must stop for asylum in the first country entered — which would be Mexico, possibly.
To go further is to simply ID yourself as a criminal trying to defraud.
I am surprised by Colombians.
Wanna bet Columbia’s prisons are empty...
Nearly every business in our city has help wanted signs posted. And nearly every corner now has folks with dark olive skin holding up signs saying they need money to support their families. These beggars have never been out on our streets in the past in these kinds of numbers and I’m guessing they’re not native Alabamians.

How many are Christians?
They are all illegal aliens.
At least they will vote GOP—Get the ballots!
“They are all illegal aliens.”
I know they are, my point was they’re probably turning away Christians!
