(Madeleine Hubbard) The U.S. Customs and Border Protection service encountered more than 221,000 migrants at the southern border in March, the highest number seen so far under President Joe Biden, with more than 80,000 migrants reported released into the U.S. last month.

In the first half of fiscal year 2022, which began in October, more than 1,025,000 migrants have been encountered by Border Patrol, Fox News’ Bill Melugin observed.
“In the first 6 months of record-setting FY’21, there were only 570,826 encounters,” he wrote on Twitter. “This means the first 6 months of FY’22 are up 79% over the first 6 months of FY’21.”
This marks the third time that more than 200,000 migrants have been encountered in a month at the southern border during the Biden presidency.
The previous record under the current White House was set in July 2021, with more than 213,000 migrant encounters.
Encounters refer to apprehensions, when migrants are taken into custody in the United States, and expulsions, when illegal immigrants are immediately sent out of the US, as defined by Pew Research.
Beginning in March 2021 shortly after Biden took office, migrant encounters have consistently stayed above 150,000 a month.
Filings obtained by Fox News “show that in March there were 123,304 removals, 109,549 of them were expelled under Title 42, while 80,127 migrants were released into the U.S., including 36,777 migrants who were granted humanitarian parole – meaning they are eligible for work permits,” the outlet reported.
Border Patrol agents frequently encounter between 7,000 and 8,000 migrants each day, but the administration is reportedly preparing for as many as 18,000 migrants a day to come to the southern border.
The numbers are expected to increase after President Biden ends Title 42, a Trump-era policy used to keep migrants out of the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic.
National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd last week told “Just the News – Not Noise” that agents’ “resources are stretched nearly to the limits” when 3,000 migrants are apprehended a day.
Border Patrol agents are “overwhelmed” with 8,000 illegal immigrant apprehensions a day, Judd said.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
