It’s all a game of smoke and mirrors as Biden now flies in tens of thousands and up to 120K per month, to all cities from Latin America. This way7 they can make the claim/lie that numbers are decreasing. It is infuriating how these Democrats play with our nation, putting us all at risk. The way the media is reporting on it all… is as follows.
In the relentless heat of a southern summer, where the border stands as both a line and a labyrinth, President Biden’s latest move to tighten the gates of asylum has reshaped the landscape with a heavy hand. It’s a decision born of necessity, or so it seems, an act of pulling the reins on a runaway system that has seen record numbers surge northward, drawn by the glimmer of safety or the whisper of opportunity. But now, that glimmer dims, and the whispers grow faint as the administration’s new policy casts long shadows over those who seek refuge.
🚨 BORDER ARRESTS PLUMMET AS ASYLUM RESTRICTIONS KICK IN
Arrests for illegal crossings from Mexico dropped 33% in July, hitting the lowest level since September 2020.

In June, with a stroke of executive power, Biden redrew the map of who may enter and who must remain outside. The rules, as stark as the desert sun, now disqualify most from even asking for asylum—a word that once held the weight of hope for so many. The order was swift, and its effects even swifter. By July, the flood of migrants that once crossed the southern border slowed to a trickle, dropping to numbers not seen in nearly four years. It was as if the border itself had tightened its grip, squeezing out those who sought to slip through its fingers.
But the numbers tell only part of the story. Beneath the statistics lies a human tale of doors closed and voices unheard. The release of migrants into the vastness of the U.S. interior—a practice that once allowed thousands to stay, if only for a while—has been sharply curtailed. In July, just 12,000 were given the chance to appear in court, a far cry from the 62,000 who were granted the same in May. The policy’s intent is clear: to halt the flow by removing the pull.

The agency attributed the decline to President Biden’s order that halts asylum requests once the average daily number of illegal crossings exceeds 2,500.

Yet as some doors close, others are slammed shut with finality. The expedited removal process, a fast-track to deportation, has been employed with growing frequency. In July, nearly half of those caught crossing the border found themselves on the fast path home, their hopes dashed by a system that no longer has the patience for delay. The message is unmistakable: the road to asylum has become a gauntlet few will survive.
And what of asylum itself, that ancient right enshrined in law, meant to protect the persecuted and the oppressed? It too has been narrowed, almost to the point of vanishing. Where once every migrant had to be asked if they feared returning to their homeland, now only those who speak up—who voice their fear without being prompted—are given the chance to plead their case. The result? A sharp decline in the number of credible fear interviews, dropping from over 17,000 a month to just 1,900 in July. The silence is deafening.
For those who do manage to speak their fears, the challenge is far from over. The new rules have made the bar for asylum higher than ever. Even if a migrant passes the initial screening, they are often only granted lesser forms of protection—temporary shields with no promise of permanence. The path to a new life has become a tightrope, and few will make it across.
Biden/Harris Admin to Process “Asylum Seekers” at Northern Border Faster Due to Unprecedented Number of Crossingshttps://t.co/TjzHbJQdjc

The administration hails the policy as a success, pointing to the reduction in border crossings as proof that their strategy is working. But beneath the surface, there is unease. Migrant advocates, those who see the faces behind the numbers, warn of the costs—human costs that can’t be measured in statistics alone. Christina Asencio, a voice for Human Rights First, speaks of the pain and peril faced by those turned away, questioning what kind of victory this truly is.
And so, the border remains, as it always has, a place of tension and transition, where the hopes of many clash with the realities imposed by few. The future of Biden’s crackdown hangs in the balance, challenged in courts and debated in the public square. Yet, for those caught in its wake, the verdict has already been rendered: the path to safety, once difficult, has become nearly impossible, and the shadows at the border grow longer with each passing day.
Knowing all of the above, just then remember that everything this administration does is based in deceit. The numbers are increasing according to officials in Arizona, California and Texas. And the flights to cities all over the U.S. has travelers noticing the increased amount of those without ID, but still allowed in all over the U.S. In other words, we’ve been scammed by Biden and the Democrats once again.
Major Points
- President Biden’s new asylum policy, implemented in June, sharply reduces the number of migrants eligible to seek refuge in the U.S.
- The policy has significantly decreased border crossings, with July seeing the lowest numbers in nearly four years.
- Only 12,000 migrants were released into the U.S. in July, compared to 62,000 in May, reflecting the administration’s intent to deter migration.
- The expedited removal process has been increasingly used, with nearly half of those caught crossing the border in July being quickly deported.
- Critics argue that the new rules, which limit asylum access and reduce credible fear interviews, carry significant human costs, as many are turned away or face harsher standards for protection.
