As crossings of the U.S.-Mexico border show a drastic dip since December, the Biden campaign can use the data point as a breath of fresh air on an issue regarded as a liability on his reelection bid, The Washington Post reported.
Migrants crossing the southern border have decreased more than 40% since December and have remained relatively stable through the first four months of 2024. In April, U.S. border agents encountered about 130,000 migrants entering illegally from Mexico, a level that is high by historical standards but lower than February and March, according to U.S. enforcement data obtained by The Post.
