The Biden administration will still claim there is no border crisis.

New CBP reports reveal authorities made over 1.7 million arrests in the 2021 fiscal year. The number of arrests is among the highest in history and marked the largest number of arrests since Ronald Regan signed an immigration reform bill in 1986.

Fox News reports:

CBP’s Rio Grande Valley sector came in with the most arrests, at 549,000 Border Patrol apprehensions. While the Del Rio sector had 259,000 apprehensions.

The border crisis began this year after President Biden took office, and local leaders in border states have accused the president of abandoning American residents in those states.

“We’re seeing the highest number of cross border crossings and it’s all because of the catastrophic open border policies by the Biden administration,” Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott told Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” this week. He added that the Biden administration “completely abandoned” ranchers, residents in his state and “all the people who live on the border.”

The Biden administration issued a handful of immigration-related Executive Ordersupon taking office that loosened Trump-era policies.

Despite the shocking data, President Biden has refused to call the chaos at the border a crisis and members of his administration have either blamed former President Trump or claimed the media is twisting the narrative.
