In a stunning revelation, new data has shown that the month of December witnessed a record-breaking surge of migrants at the southern border. According to sources from the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the number of encounters with migrants in December exceeded a whopping 286,000 individuals. This staggering figure marks the highest monthly total ever documented. Since the start of the fiscal year in October, over 770,000 migrants have been encountered, with 83,000 classified as 'gotaways,' meaning they were observed or detected but not apprehended.
Surprisingly, December, historically considered a slower month for border activity, has defied expectations this year. Despite the administration's claims that this level of migration is typical, the situation at the southern border remains disastrous. Border Patrol Council Vice President emphasized the lack of political will and indifference exhibited by the current administration towards the issue. He accused them of turning a blind eye to the escalating crisis, creating an environment that encourages more individuals to cross the border illegally.
