CBP Releases June’s Border Apprehension Rates

Fourth consecutive month with more than 170,000 border apprehensions

Fourth consecutive month with more than 170,000 border apprehensions

One of the biggest challenges facing the current administration of the US, if not the biggest, is the surge in illegal border crossings that has taken place primarily since the beginning of the year, when Democratic President Joe Biden took office. In other words, border forces such as CBP (Customs and Border Protection) have reported an exponential increase in border apprehension rates.

This term refers to the number of undocumented immigrants detained in border territory. For instance, in March, April and May, CBP reported the highest number of border encounters in decades, which naturally increases the health risk in the midst of the global Coronavirus pandemic and raises questions among the local population regarding Biden’s immigration policies.

Adding to that, CBP recently released June 2021 border encounter figures, which increased slightly from May, but nowhere near the projections made by certain opposition groups. During that month, CBP apprehended 188,829 undocumented immigrants, which includes single adults, family units, unaccompanied minors and accompanied minors.

This figure represents an increase of 4.53% compared to May 2021 and is primarily related to single adults as, also compared to May, the number of unaccompanied immigrant minors and family units apprehended in border territory decreased significantly in June.

Biden’s efforts to curb irregular migration

Because the current border situation is jeopardizing President Biden’s plans when it comes to the immigration sector, his administration is using all the tools and resources at its disposal to curb mass irregular migration and enforce immigration law at the borders.

Therefore, initially, the Biden administration is analyzing the border situation to find the root causes of irregular migration in order to implement lasting policies that will improve the quality of life of Central American citizens and reduce immigration levels without violating human rights.
