Despite claims that the border is getting overwhelmed, the numbers are indicating that President Joe Biden's new border policy has been working as migrant arrests have gone down by 29% in June, which is the lowest since Biden first took office.

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released the numbers for the month of June. It revealed that they only arrested a total of 83,536 migrants who tried to cross the border illegally. This is down 29% from May, which saw 117,901 arrests. This is thanks to fewer and fewer people trying to cross the border since Biden announced the crackdown, which restricted people from claiming asylum.

The numbers also showed that the seven-day average of daily arrests fell more than half by the end of June since Biden first announced the new asylum restrictions. In these restrictions, migrants cannot claim asylum unless daily arrests fall to 1,500 for several days straight.

"Recent border security measures have made a meaningful impact on our ability to impose consequences for those crossing unlawfully," Troy Miller, acting Customs and Border Protection commissioner, told the Associated Press.

However, even before the new asylum restrictions were applied, migrant arrests along the US-Mexico border had been falling thanks to Mexico also implementing harsh restrictions on these migrants, busing them to the Mexico-Guatemala border after they had been apprehended, making them repeat their long and dangerous trek across the country all over again.

There were also sharp declines in migrant arrests among all nationalities, including Mexicans, who had been affected by the asylum restrictions the most, as well as Chinese immigrants, who usually fly to Ecuador and travel by foot to the US-Mexico border.
