But the Republicans said there were caravans coming to take our jobs and replace our kids!

Maybe because they realize how bad it could get here.

The number of migrant encounters at the US-Mexico border in July was the lowest in almost four years. Last month, CBP apprehended 56,408 migrants along the border, a 32 percent decline in comparison to June and the lowest since September 2020. It marked the fifth consecutive monthly drop, according to CBS News.

The decrease in migrant crossings follows the implementation of a border crackdown policy by the Biden administration. In June, the White House announced a sweeping executive order, based on an authority previously invoked by the Trump administration, allowing border officials to temporarily suspend some asylum processing and swiftly return certain migrants to neighboring Mexico and their countries of origin at times when crossings reach a certain threshold.

Since June, the CBP announcement states, the agency has removed or returned more than 92,000 people to 130 countries, including via at least 300 deportation flights. “July’s total numbers between ports of entry are also lower than July 2019,” the agency says, “and lower than the monthly average for all of 2019, the last comparable year prior to the pandemic.” Increased enforcement by the Mexican government also explains the lower numbers.

But these record-breaking statistics have not deterred Republicans from advancing their narrative of a “Biden border crisis” or trying to blame Vice President Kamala Harris for it.

Trump in Pennsylvania:

“Think of the caravans. What about the caravans from the assylums? They are coming to steal jobs like no one’s ever seen before. The biggest numbers. The caravans from the assylum looking for our visas. And Biden was fired by Kambucha because of the failed border with the biggest great depression we’ve ever seen. A pretty black lady can’t be a president. I like to say she’s pretty. Not like Melinda. Isn’t that right, North Carolina?”

Illegal crossings are out of control!

Why do they call it a wall when it’s clearly a fence?
