U.S. authorities encountered roughly 210,000 people at the Southwest border in July, according to preliminary data gathered by the Associated Press from Assistant Secretary for Border and Immigration Policy David Shahoulian.
"Generally, what you see is that the up and down in the spring and summer is way high and then it goes down toward the end of fall and winter," Tony Payan, director of the Baker Institute for Public Policy at Rice University, toldJuly's preliminary total of 210,000 would stand as the highest in the past 20 years. And while Payan said some of these numbers might represent people crossing multiple times, it still indicates a continued surge.
The consistent uptick in crossings since April reflect the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the Central and South American regions. The International Rescue Committeethat the region faces"unprecedented and growing humanitarian crisis, compounded by pandemic lockdown-induced economic slowdowns" that have coincided with rising crime and environmental disaster.
That messaging, he said, might have inspired more people to make the journey. On top of that, Payan said Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador"refuses" to confront organized crime. He said the cartels have expanded their reach in the country, pushing some people to flee their villages. This increasing trend comes as Obrador has told the Biden administration that Mexico would not take more non-Mexicans deported under the Title 42 expulsion policy.
Keep busing them north Joe!
