In a recent update from Homeland Security, it has emerged that President Biden's term may conclude with an unprecedented record of nearly 11 million illegal immigrants detected since his inauguration. Despite these staggering figures, December witnessed a significant reduction in unauthorized migrant detections, marking one of the lowest months in Biden's presidency. Customs and Border Protection reported approximately 125,000 cases in December, a sharp decline from the peak of over 370,000 detections in December 2023.
The cumulative count from February 2021 to December stands at around 10.9 million illegal immigrants detected under Biden's watch. Despite efforts to manage the situation, it is estimated that about 4 million unauthorized migrants have established residence in the U.S. during this time frame. This influx followed President Biden's commitment to dismantle several Trump administration immigration policies, which led to an initial surge in numbers.
However, adopting stricter measures reminiscent of the previous administration has led to some improvement. Acting Commissioner Pete Flores commended the Customs and Border Protection team for their vigilant enforcement efforts that have positively impacted community safety and national security. Notably, there has been a marked decrease in terrorism suspects detected at the border and a significant drop in migrants attempting to cross illegally from Mexico.
Additionally, detections at the Canadian border plummeted by 89% compared to June figures, and unauthorized entries through airports and seaports also saw reductions. Nonetheless, official crossings from Mexico remain a challenge due to enticing "parole" programs implemented by the Biden administration.
This report highlights the complex landscape of U.S. immigration policy and enforcement under President Biden's tenure. As we continue to analyze these developments, we invite our readers to share their thoughts and comments on how these policies are shaping America's future regarding immigration and border security.
