Another dud for Republicans beating on President Biden…..
Border encounters continue to hover at about half of what they were before the lifting of Title 42, Biden administration officials said Wednesday, a significant drop following the rescission of a policy that effectively barred asylum seekers.
“Since May 12, the U.S. Border Patrol has experienced a steady decrease in daily encounters,” Blas Nuñez-Neto, chief operating officer at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said on a call Wednesday with reporters.
Encounters are defined as interactions between US border officials and foreign nationals who cross the border without prior authorization.
Ahead of the lifting of Title 42 on May 11, border encounters were around 10,000 individuals per day, a total that is now averaging around 4,400 people each day, with figures the last two days at under 4,000.
“This represents a decrease of 56 percent, or less than half of the average encountered in the four days leading up to the lifting of Title 42,” Nuñez-Neto said.
“However, I want to stress once again that it is still too soon to draw any firm conclusions here about where these trends will go in the coming days and weeks.”…
A “dud?”
Not to Republicans.
They’ll just keep lying about it.
That’s all they do.Start a lie and even when it is proven demonstrably false ,just keep repeating it over and over.
And the typical Republican voter is strictly a “don’t confuse me with the facts” type who wallows in his/her stupidity and ignorance.
Indeed…..
But the MEDIA coverage HAS changed…..
This Also DOES join the expanding list of political ‘dud’s’ the GOPer’s have accumulated since the November midterms….
The list is sure to continue GROWING….
