President Joe Biden’s open borders plan has led to six times the “normal” number of apprehensions, but it is the rush of “inadmissibles” that is causing a new crisis at Mexico-U.S. crossing stations, according to a report.
Those without proper documentation are surging, according to immigration expert Steven Kopits of Princeton Policy Advisors.

“Inadmissibles, those presenting themselves at official crossing points without appropriate documentation, continues to run hot. Calendar year inadmissibles are likely to come in at 240,000, which is an astounding number,” he said in a new report shared with Secrets.
“Inadmissibles used to be a small fraction of border encounters. In 2022, the number of inadmissibility will be almost as large as apprehensions in a normal year,” Kopits said.
“The simple interpretation is that Customs and Border Protection has been instructed to simply wave people through, hence the rising trend in inadmissibles,” he added.

He pointed a finger at the president and his administration for failing to control the border.

“The ‘Feeble Joe’ narrative is beginning to reemerge,” he said in his latest report. “Let’s hope the administration can steel itself, for the border is in utter chaos and emblematic of an administration spinning out of control.”
In analyzing the latest border numbers, Kopits noted the historic surge that continues under the Biden administration, saying, “Apprehensions averaged 35,500 for the months of November during the Obama and Trump administrations. Thus, as we have noted before, apprehensions are running at nearly six times ‘normal’ levels.”
