The number of immigrants who illegally crossed the southern border from Mexico appeared to remain unchanged in the day following President Joe Biden’s asylum ban, which took effect at midnight Wednesday.
The Washington Examiner spoke on Wednesday afternoon with four law enforcement officers on the border, including Border Patrol agents in California and Texas, who collectively said they had not seen an immediate increase or decrease in the number of immigrants being arrested overnight, this morning or afternoon. The agents are being granted anonymity in order to speak candidly on the border.
