U.S. border patrol agents have seen a 50% drop in the number of migrants crossing the border since the pandemic-era immigration policy known as Title 42 expired at midnight on Thursday, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said on CNN's "State of the Union" program on Sunday.

"Over the past two days, the United States Border Patrol has experienced a 50% drop in the number of encounters versus what we were experiencing earlier in the week before Title 42 ended at midnight on Thursday," Mayorkas said.

"It is still early. We are in day three. But we have been planning for this transition for months and months."

Mayorkas said that U.S. Border Patrol agents had about 6,300 encounters with border-crossers on Friday and another 4,200 on Saturday, compared with more than 10,000 shortly before Title 42's expiration.

Create a crisis that makes things 10 times worse than they've ever been and then gloat about the "success" of your policies, when there is mild (temporary) relief...

This only works when the MSM helps blind the public.

Mayorkas is a natural-born liar, so naturally, he’ll say that and the natural-born liars in the media will spread it far and wide.

same thing happened with the mentally ill leaving the hospitals. They( powers that be) just created cool graphs and never followed up on failures since no longer in the system or the charting was completely deleted.

The programs worked(sarc) and graphs don’t lie

Did someone finally decide to uphold immigration laws? Title 8 was always available. Or are they pulling 5he bait and switch by passing up check points. And bussing them directly to the interior? We may never know

Complete LIES. He’s most likely talking about illegal immigrants who now have a legal asylum basis for being allowed to stay and not immediately returned under Title 42. I’m so sick of this quisling BS from these leftist goons of this corrupt, inept administration.
