Migrant crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border have reached their lowest levels since President Joe Biden took office, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data released this week. In fact, CBP reported 56,408 migrant encounters between ports of entry in July which signifies an 80% drop from last December in which Illegal crossings surged to their highest-ever level.
The number of migrants crossing the border has declined steadily over the past five months. The decline was observed across all demographics, including single adults, families, and unaccompanied minors, during a period when migration typically increases.
