Latest increase in illegal migrant crossings undercuts Biden admin claims of progress on border crisis
Fox News
The Biden administration's narrative of its post-Title 42 border policies is being undercut by a continued surge in migrant numbers at the southern border since June.
With encounters at ports of entry at around 50,000, according to the Post, it would mean overall encounter numbers of around 230,000, up from 183,000 in July and around 144,000 in June. It would also be above the 204,000 encountered in August last year. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

At the end of the Title 42 public health order on May 11, numbers started going down as the Biden administration implemented a slew of new policies, including parole policies, increased Title 8 enforcement and an asylum rule to limit claims by some illegal immigrants.
