Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said on Sunday that U.S. Border Patrol encounters have dropped by half in the two days since Title 42 expired.
Around 6,300 encounters took place on Friday and 4,200 happened Saturday — a marked decrease from the over 10,000 reported before the end of Title 42, Mayorkas said during an interview on CNN.
Pressed on why the numbers have fallen, Mayorkas credited a “vitally important message” encouraging people arriving at the border to take legal pathways toward entry, which he said has been expanded by President Joe Biden in “an unprecedented way.”
Mayorkas also touted stiffer punishments under Title 8, which can include deportation, a five-year ban on entry, and possible criminal prosecution.

Interesting that it has dropped, so how much did that is due to heavy rain along those portions of the border?
I don’t believe anything that comes out of his mouth.
“Encounters”.
Or from enforcement by Texas.
I guess if you order half of your border patrol to stand down, then yes.
It hasn’t dropped. It’s just numbers in a spreadsheet, and Mayorkas being a lying sack of shit. Anyone who believes him is gullible to say the least.
Some of our friends closer to the situation might be able to clear that up.
Of course it dropped, now the illegals dont even have to bother going to border patrol they just stroll on in
Then it must be true.
We only counted from 9-5...Then went home to supper.
I read that there are “processing” centers in Guatamala ad one other country. These people are being begged to come in.
How is this not treason?
That’s because they have changed the definitions of “illegal”. If someone crosses the border and checks in with border agents, they are deemed here “legally”. That is how they can say interactions with illegal immigrants are down.

No, he just said they are coming in via a route Biden opened !
“they just stroll on in”
Right and then board a bus in the middle of the night that is parked in a ravine waiting to take them to who knows where.
Of course Comrade Mayorkas, the border is secure, you just open the door for them, give them their free cell phone and papers and send them on their way.
They can get away with that because they are just bussing them in, hence no “encounters.”
Probably also have changed the definition of “encounter.”
You know, the commie way.
