“3 weeks ago, a Federal judge blocked the Biden Administration from lifting title 42 COVID restrictions.

In April, U.S. Customs and Border Protection encountered 234,088 individuals attempting to cross our border illegally--234,088. That is the highest number ever recorded. The Border Patrol is stretched thin. A recent article reported that ``around 60 percent of CBP agents have been assigned to process migrants, taking them away from field work.'' Sixty percent.
