Democratic Rep. Raul Ruiz defended the Biden Administration’s 'humanitarian' record on the border, suggesting that Republicans are using the crisis to boost their brands.
According to the Customs and Border Protection data, encounters with migrants from Mexico and Central America have decreased for the third month in a row, accounting for 36% of unique encounters, while migrants fleeing Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua accounted for 55,333 unique encounters, a 175% increase over last year.
While caravans and mass illegal immigration has been a consistent problem, Biden-era policies seem to correlate with an exponential rise in attempted crossings. There were approximately 72,000 encounters at the end of 2020, which ballooned to 173,000 by March 2021 alone. There have now been over two million encounters this fiscal year, in addition to the more than 1.7 million encounters last fiscal year.
