More than 200,000 migrants were detained for illegal entry in August, roughly the same number as in July. Of those 200,000, just 44% were returned to Mexico under Title 42’s contagion containment authority. That means for the second month in a row, over 100,000 migrants were released by the Biden administration into the United States to go wherever they want.
Supposedly, these migrants will show up in court to pursue an asylum defense against deportation. But less than 15% of migrants who apply for asylum after illegally crossing the southern border are ever granted the status. That means the other 85% are left free to roam the country even though they have no lawful business here.
