Activity along the southern border returns to Trump-era levels
The Border Patrol recorded about 58,000 apprehensions between the
ports of entry in August.

Migrant apprehensions along the U.S.-Mexico border ticked up slightly
last month but appear on track to reach the lowest annual total since the
end of the Trump administration, Customs and Border Protection said
Monday.
The Border Patrol recorded about 58,000 apprehensions between the
ports of entry in August, an increase of several thousand from the month
prior but less than half the total from a year earlier, CBP said in a monthly
news release that has become highly anticipated in an election year in
which migration has become a central issue.
Border apprehensions have plummeted since June, when President Joe
Biden, under pressure from former President Donald Trump and his allies,
issued executive orders to make it harder to claim asylum.
“The data published today by U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows
that since President Biden announced new, decisive executive actions to
secure the border on June 4, encounters between ports of entry have
dropped significantly and remain at their lowest level in years,” White
House spokesperson Angelo Fernández Hernández said in a statement.
Migrant encounters rose sharply after Biden took office and reached a
record 250,000 in December. Apprehensions fell to a four-year low in July
once the new restrictions were in place.
CBP said the annual total of migrant encounters for the fiscal year that
ends Sept. 30 is on track to reach the lowest level since 2020 and lower
than the monthly average for 2019.
Despite the drop in numbers, migration has continued to be a significant
factor in the campaign — with both Trump and JD Vance making the issue
a central focus of their appearances.

“why didn’t he in 2021 or 2022 or 2023?”
I have no idea, though imagine you have one that fits some sort of Biden
isn’t up for the job narrative. Though, I’ll give you, it’s a hell of a screwed
up situation, isn’t it?
I keep believing that resistance to the flow isn’t the solution. I’m more apt
to look for solutions that honor the needs of the people involved rather
than otherwise. One thought that keeps coming around for me is why not
welcome them and give incentives for companies to create more jobs so
as to give the newly arrived opportunities rather than stigmatizing them.
Why not give communities that offer to make formal programs that
incorporate new immigrants subsidizes to help in their transition into our
society?
But I get it, why not stigmatize them, turn them into lower class
marginalized people that are forced into our worse conditions, make
them pay for their suffering? After all, that seems to be what Trump calls
being great. Seriously, OT, do you condone child separation? Isn’t that
alone a reason to condemn those that did that? To insist people that
formulated and approved and executed those policies never occupy any
position in government again?
But back to how I envision it… why not give companies incentives, tax
breaks, whatever, to expand? Isn’t that the American way? Invest expand
grow make more..? Isn’t that what makes America great? Well, why not
apply some of that yankee ingenuity and make a profit off the situation?
Isn’t that preferable to turning people away in their hour of need?
But for real, you saw congress and the white house craft a bill that was
tailored to the GOP’s way of dealing with things, and Trump turned it
down purely for his selfish need for divisive rhetoric. And, you know Joe
is much more interested in legislation through cooperative compromise
than he is executive orders, so your question is just more of the same
divisive, us verses them, narrative. It’s an extension of Trump’s refusal to
allow that very conservative bill to be passed. It certainly doesn’t offer
any solutions.
About those.. solutions.. I went on a bit about some of what I think, how I
imagine I would approach the situation, what do you think is the way to
deal with the needs of those who come in desperation to our borders?
Really, OT, I’m honestly curious, what would you suggest we do?

He not only didn't deal with it, but he stopped anyone
else attempting to deal with it. He doesn't want a
solution, he wants the hate, threat and violence he can
whip up from it to win him the election.
From what I've heard and people I've talked to, other
than his most faithful base, they are "over it".
He believes if it worked once in 2016, it'll work
again. But it failed in 2018, 2020 and 2022.
What do they say about trying the same thing over and
over and expecting different results?
Some of his base (not all) also do not want a solution,
they just like the permission to hate and hurt others
freely. They think this is power. It is not true power,
it's just permission to be the worst humans they want
to be.
