Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas looks over the southern border, Feb. 29, 2024, in Brownsville, Texas, along the Rio Grande, with the U.S. Border Patrol. Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is right that there have been more migrant returns and removals in the past nine months than in any single fiscal year since 2015, Department of Homeland Security data shows.
"Over the last three years we’ve removed, returned, or expelled more people than in all four years of the prior administration," Mayorkas continued."You know, the facts matter. And the rhetoric, we should brush aside." From fiscal years 2015 to 2024,"returns" and"removals" were the lowest in 2020 to 2022, because most people encountered at the border were turned away under a different enforcement strategy — expelled under Title 42. In 2020 — removals, returns and Title 42 expulsions added up to 608,000, and increased to 1.4 million in 2022.Because “17 million immigrants” were “let in” the U.S, “ foot and mouth disease is back. We got rid of that fifty years ago.
The mismatch between returns and removals, and encounters under Biden’s administration is"primarily a reflection of the mismatch in resource allocation by Congress, which has failed to adequately fund the immigration system in its entirety," said Colleen Putzel-Kavanaugh, an associate policy analyst at the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute.
