The number of immigrants who have been detained after trying to enter the United States from Mexico has dropped to the lowest rates in more than 50 times, a sign that the White House has been taking decisive action to hinder illegal immigration.
Throughout most of President Joe Biden’s career, illegal border detention ranged from 150, 000 to 250, 000 per quarter.
The decline lasted through June when Biden took the lead in enforcing a new law to deport border crossings more than release thousands of people from the nation’s interior to await court hearings years away.
In total, 47, 536 unlawful immigrants were arrested last month, including 5, 778 alone children, 29, 332 one people, and 12, 426 who arrived with a family member.
President Joe Biden, who has overseen a traditional border crisis, has noticed a significant change of course with the steep fall in illegal immigration since December. The regular number of prosecutions has gradually decreased over the past six decades, dropping from , 250, 000 , next December to 83, 000 in June.
Border Patrol’s overseeing agency, U. S. Customs and Border Protection, has attributed several actions to the drop, as well as bilateral talks with Mexican government officials last December that have led to improved cooperation between countries in dealing with illegal immigration.
CBP announced in May that it was increasing the number of treatment flights to allow illegal immigrants to return to their countries when they cross the southern border.

Since not all individuals crossing are apprehended, the number of prosecutions indicates how many refugees are attempting to cross.
In February, Republicans , impeached , Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over his control of the southern border and had long-touted Trump’s borders guidelines as the only way to return illegal immigration rates to earlier standards.
