Low apprehensions were good until high apprehensions were good.
President Trump speaks as he visits a new section of the border wall with Mexico in Calexico, Calif., on April 5, 2019. By Philip Bump Philip Bump National correspondent focused largely on the numbers behind politics Email Bio Follow April 24 at 11:02 AM Within the first few months of Donald Trump becoming president, the number of apprehensions at the border with Mexico plunged.
Obviously evidence that Trump’s policies weren’t working, right? That people no longer felt they weren’t going to get through?Can anyone comprehend what a GREAT job Border Patrol and Law Enforcement is doing on our Southern Border. So far this year they have APPREHENDED 418,000 plus illegal immigrants, way up from last year. Mexico is doing very little for us. DEMS IN CONGRESS MUST ACT NOW!
It’s also worth noting that the recent spike is driven by an increase in the number of families arriving at the border. Trump frames the apprehension rate as reflecting a savvy Border Patrol that’s ensnaring illegal border crossers. In reality, the surge in families being apprehended is in part a function of those families immediately turning themselves in upon arrival at the border to seek asylum.
