Originally published April 19, 2023 2:00 am PDT

Biden’s total number of southern border migrants is about 4.3 million.

QUICK FACTS:

• An estimated 180,000 migrants crossed the southern border in March, resulting in housing inflation, lower wages for Americans, and a shifting of wealth across the nation.
• Data from April 17 indicates that 162,317 migrants were arrested at the border throughout March.
• 104,238 migrants were accepted into the United States as they plead for asylum.
• The number includes 80,000 previously arrested migrants and 26,583 people using the “CBP One” program to set up an appointment for catch-and-release.
• 30,000 more migrants entered the country by flying into the United States, those who entered via aircraft not being included in border arrest data.
• 50,000 “gotaway” migrants also crossed the southern border in March.

The Biden administration has lied again and again about the border.

If they won’t recognize the reality of the crisis, Mayorkas should resign and Harris should step aside as border czar.https://t.co/Y7FhFesit6
