Nothing to see here, just another increase in the number of illegal immigrants flowing across our southern border.
Again.
Breaking records even:
NEW: WaPo reports illegal crossings shot up again in August, w/ Border Patrol apprehending 177,000 migrants, including the highest number of families ever recorded. Illegal crossings have now risen 30% two months in a row, as WH claims “stopping the flow”.https://t.co/ta6ckz1MiZ

... highest number of families ever recorded.
Wow.
From WaPo:
Record numbers of migrant families streamed across the U.S.-Mexico border in August, according to preliminary data obtained by The Washington Post, an influx that has upended Biden administration efforts to discourage parents from entering illegally with children and could once again place immigration in the spotlight during a presidential race.
Overall, the data show, border apprehensions have risen more than 30 percent for two consecutive months, after falling in May and June as the Biden administration rolled out new restrictions and entry opportunities. The Border Patrol made more than 177,000 arrests along the Mexico border in August, up from 132,652 in July and 99,539 in June.
Yikes, right?
Typical Biden defender:
An "apprehension" means they are arresting the migrants...stopping them from coming into this country. Bill is praising our Border Patrol for their 177,000 arrests! They are doing a great job! pic.twitter.com/pK8OJE5ORa

Sad, sad, uninformed Lefty.
Tsk tsk.
Melugin with the truth bomb.
Don’t know how many times this needs to be explained, but no, apprehensions do not equal deportations. A majority of the illegal immigrants Border Patrol apprehends are later released into the U.S. with court dates sometimes years away. Deportations are a drop in the bucket… https://t.co/Ye8QbDuX1L

A drop in the bucket.
Let that sink in.
