CBP Releases September Monthly Update - Highest Ever Number of Illegal Border Crossings

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

70% : It is no coincidence that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released its monthly report on a Saturday morning at the end of the month.
63% : "In response to high rates of encounters across the southwest border in September, CBP surged resources and personnel.
63% : The supplemental funding request announced yesterday would provide critically needed additional resources including additional CBP agents and officers to support our essential missions: from border and migration management, to countering fentanyl and keeping dangerous drugs out of our communities.
56% : "CBP will continue to remain vigilant, making operational adjustments as necessary and enforcing consequences under U.S. immigration law.
53% : The request for domestic border security was for an amount far less than the amount of funding for Ukraine and Israel.
44% : To prevent the loss of life, CBP initiated a Missing Migrant Program in 2017 that locates noncitizens reported missing, rescues individuals in distress, and reunifies decedents' remains with their families in the border region.
41% : This significant rise in rescues - an increase of 44% compared with rescues in August (3,212) and an increase of 67% compared with rescues in July (2,776) - is a testament to CBP's commitment to border security, despite the lies of smugglers who mislead migrants for their own financial gain.
35% : CBP took a page from Biden's speeches and told those who are considering illegally entering the United States to not do it.
32% : Now that Team Biden is getting blowback from Democrats, and his polling numbers are in the basement (with him) on all issues, especially on managing border security, suddenly DHS wants you to believe it is budget hawks that are not willing to secure the border.
31% : "To be clear, the Biden border crisis is not due to any failures on the part of Border Patrol or law enforcement on the border.
