the border situation is the same as under trump
 

that’s what some here have said.

From the Border Patrol:

in october 2020, there were 72,000 encounters with illegals.

in october 2021, there were 164,000 encounters with illegals.

i know liberals struggle with arithmetic, so let me explain.

164,000 > 72,000.

In 2020 Covid slowed illegal immigration to a trickle, that has eased up and there's been a big uptick in repeat offenders who are being immediately sent back once apprehended. The actual number of unique individuals is lower than is was in 2019.

encounters for the last 4 october’s by fiscal year…

2019: 60,781
2020: 45,149
2021: 71,939
2022: 164,303

Really??? 2020 was slow for illegal immigration because they respected a "Stay-at-Home" order. :rolleyes:

If we only knew that was all it would have taken, we could have issued one decades ago

Well, a lot of Central American countries did lock down pretty hard and shut their borders.

"borders"....ha ha...that's funny
