The Border Patrol reported over 2 million apprehensions in the past year – a record high. Some migrants surrendered themselves to border agents, with the intention of seeking asylum. But the DHS estimates another 600,000 people evaded agents and entered the U.S. illegally, the highest number in over a decade.
During its use, the numbers of encounters surged and cases of migrants attempting unauthorized re-entry soared, as did the number of "gotaways"—the term used by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for migrants who were not intercepted while crossing the border illegally. Because Title 42 short-circuited the careful series of consequences that CBP had put in place over earlier years, including criminal prosecution for illegal entry or re-entry, it created major churn at the border: Facing no formal consequences for their unauthorized entry, expelled migrants kept trying to cross until they succeeded.
In the 12 months after Title 42 ended, the Biden administration ramped up deportations under the standard U.S. immigration framework, Title 8, and removed or returned 775,000 unauthorized migrants—more than in any previous fiscal year since 2010.

This was in addition to the 7.2 million-plus encounters recorded by officials — not just detected — along the Southwest border.

There's just one problem. The vice president was never in charge of the border.
Illegal border crossings soared to record levels under President Biden, averaging 2 million per year from 2021 to 2023.
Illegal crossings rose to record levels during Biden's term, reaching a peak in December 2023 when U.S. agents encountered 250,000 migrants
