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,”
It didn’t, It is a total BS lying head fake.
What about daily totals, that’s what I’ve seen reports suggesting it is half what it was just days ago. We don’t have weekly for before and after yet.
He’s lying, as usual.
ENCOUNTERS have only dropped because the BP STOPPED ENCOUNTERING! Or they just stopped doing what they call encountering! We have to know how to read their lies.
I now question McCarthy too. From post-Election Day 2022 ...

Patriots need to support Trump 47 by electing as many new state and federal MAGA lawmakers and governors that they can.
Also consider that regular readers of Free Republic can probably pick better MAGA candidates to help Trump finish draining the swamp than Trump can.
The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.
Okay, that is a great point—if Border Patrol is taking the weekend off, is standing down, then encounters will be less.
GTHOH!
Try for Treason and hang.
mayorkas please define encounters
That’s cuz there has been a lot of rain in southern Texas. No more wading across.
You can tell when this cocksucker is about to Lie... he always inhales just before.
Encounter eh? I suppose the number of border jumpers in each encounter is irrelevant so encountering 1 or a busload counts as the same.

Excellent points all.
They are down by half only because they are keeping their eyes closed!
Depends on the meaning of encounter...
Yesterday I had 1 encounter where i ran into 80,000 illegals.
Yeah, what is an ‘encounter’?
Does the drop have anything to do with Texas blocking the border?
