When President Biden took office in January 2021, he promised to transform how the United States treated asylum seekers and restore the humanitarian protections devasted by his predecessor. But by the end of 2021, as apprehensions hit levels not seen in 20 years and over 1.5 million people arrived at the border and crossed for the first time, Border Patrol agents carried out over 1,000,000 expulsions and deportations, including the mass expulsion of Haitian migrants to a country that the United States had just said weeks earlier was too dangerous for deportations. This fact sheet aims to provide historical context for the events of 2021, explain the roots of the rise in border apprehensions during the year, and analyze how the Biden administration responded.
Although much of the national focus in 2021 was on the arrival of families and unaccompanied children, headlines about “the highest number of border encounters in 20 years” were the result of trends among an entirely different group—single adults—who were responsible for more than half of all border apprehensions that year.
For generations, the United States has seen periodic cycles of migration. There have also been multiple extraordinary migration events that have led more families and children to seek asylum. Although many commentators have blamed the Biden administration alone for the rise in border encounters in 2021, the roots of the current trends began months—and in some cases years—before President Biden took office. The government can and should view the arrival of high numbers of asylum seekers as a humanitarian protection management challenge, not a security challenge.

So now the new euphemism for invasion is “border encounters”.
We’re so screwed!
We’re screwed because both parties cheated Trump out to get the flow going again and they plan to pass amnesty before we can re-elect him.
Be sure to re-elect Amnesty Senators Hoeven and Rubio...../s
“So now the new euphemism for invasion is “border encounters”.’
Not with me. I still refer to Illegal Aliens coming over the southern border as Wetbacks.
If that word was good enough for the Eisenhower Administration, it is good enough for me.
