Deterrence up, illegal immigration down at southern border
This Tuesday, June 8, 2021, photo shows a group of Brazilian immigrants making their way around a gap in the U.S.-Mexico border in Yuma, Arizona, seeking asylum in the United States after crossing over from Mexico.


The number of immigrants who were arrested after illegally crossing the southern border fell to 156,000 in January, the third-lowest total since President Joe Biden took office. This number remains higher than in any month during President Donald Trump’s tenure and is 80,000 arrests higher than Trump’s last month in office.
