BORDER UPDATE 🧵

Last month CBP encountered 178,840 migrants– the highest DEC number in the history of DHS

The month before? Over 174k illegal migrants - the highest NOV number in history of DHS

And before? In OCT, over 164k - the highest October number in history of DHS

1/

At our southern border in FY21:

CBP encountered over 1.73MM illegal migrants highest yearly total in DHS history.

In July '21 we saw the highest monthly total in DHS history— over 213K

Over 1.95MM encounters of illegal migrants since Mayorkas took office under 1 year ago

2/

And where have these people gone? What are the costs of breaking these historical records?

According to CBP, over 821,000 illegal immigrants were taken in by DHS under title 8 at our southern border since Mayorkas took office

3/

And according to recent correspondence with DHS, from MAR 2021 to DEC 10, 2021:

>148K illegal migrants released by CBP on an “alternative pathway” – including over 44K illegal migrants that did not show up to ICE

All counter to the law's requirement of a “notice to appear”

4/

We also know that from July 2021 to December 10, 2021 over 54,000 illegal migrants were released by CBP on “parole” – including over 17,000 that haven’t shown up to ICE.

5/

THAT’S NEARLY 62,000 ILLEGAL MIGRANTS. WE DON’T KNOW WHO OR WHERE THEY ARE.

And more and more migrants are being released each day. More on that here:

We also know over 140,000 illegal migrants have been flown around the U.S. checking into ICE offices around the country.

See if your city made the list:

This is on top of the 400,000 known gotaways in FY21 and the roughly 120,000 UACs released by HHS in FY21, including roughly over 40,0000 that were flown on commercial or chartered flights with taxpayer dollars.

7/

And what about the taxpayer dollars that go to detention and transportation costs for illegal migrants?

In FY2021, U.S. taxpayers spent nearly $2.3 billion in detention, medical, and transportation costs.

8/

The path forward here is clear.

Congress must immediately take steps to secure our border, and then hold those responsible for this crisis accountable:

Fully enforce Title 42
Truly restart "remain in mexico"
Finish the wall
#ImpeachMayorkas
