As reported last week<\/a>, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released the number of border encounters in September, bringing the year-end total to 1,734,686 \u2013 an all-time record. It is no surprise that border encounters have increased nearly every month of the Biden presidency, given his reversal<\/a> of many Trump-era border policies and his refusal<\/a> to deport illegal aliens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As hard as it is to imagine, this record-breaking year could have been a lot worse had the Biden administration completely ended<\/a> the use of Title 42 expulsions. This public health order, which the Trump administration instituted at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, gives Border Patrol the ability to quickly expel migrants back to their home country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There were 1,063,526 Title 42 expulsions<\/a> in fiscal year (FY) 2021, meaning 61 percent of all migrants encountered along the Southwest border were expelled under Title 42. However, expulsions decreased from 86 percent during the Trump administration to 56 percent during the Biden administration. This can be attributed to the Biden administration\u2019s decision to exempt<\/a> family units and unaccompanied alien minors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
