The polls are open, and CBP should just tell us that border apprehensions in FY 2022 hit two million-plus
- Although the Biden administration has yet to admit as much, the border is in crisis. In fact, it is beyond a simple "crisis"; it has moved to the sphere of much stronger descriptors, along the lines of "disaster", "catastrophe", or "calamity". And "chaos".
- Border Patrol agents at the Southwest border apprehended a record number of illegal entrants in FY 2021, a dubious record that they had already broken for FY 2022 when July's numbers came in on August 15.
- Biden inherited what his first Border Patrol Chief, Rodney Scott, described in a September 2021 letter to Senate leadership as "arguably the most effective border security in" U.S. history.
- Just short of a month before he took office, Biden vowed to "keep his pledge to roll back" what he described as "the Trump administration's restrictive asylum policies", but asserted that he would do so "at a slower pace than he initially promised, to avoid winding up with '2 million people on our border'".
