The Biden Administration set a new record this week for most border crossings in a single day: 12,000 migrant encounters were logged at the southern border.
From The New York Post:
The total figure of migrants attempting to enter the US will be even higher when the number of people who reported to the Office of Field Operations for asylum appointments booked through the CBP One app, which allows up to 1,450 people a day to be seen.
As of Wednesday morning, the agency had more than 22,000 migrants in custody at various points across the border – pushing the already strained border resources to breaking point.
The previous record for migrants encountered in one day was set at 10,000 in May as migrants rushed the country before the end of Title 42, after which the rules for how people would be processed were set to change.
After the Biden Administration set the new single-day record, a clip resurfaced and went viral of President Barack Obama’s DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson saying 1,000 migrant crossings in a single day overwhelms the system and is a “bad” day.
Watch the clip below:
In 2019, Obama DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson said 1,000 illegal border crossings per day "overwhelms the system. I cannot begin to imagine what 4,000/day looks like."
This week, there were 12,000+ illegal border crossings IN A SINGLE DAY.pic.twitter.com/tvw9O4HWWO
