“If you take a look at the number of people who are coming, the vast majority, the overwhelming majority of people who are coming to the border crossing are being sent back,” Biden said, during his first news conference. Although this statement is true, President Joe Biden proceeded to say the U.S. is “sending back the vast majority of the families coming.” That is not true for the month of February. Less than half the nearly 20,000 apprehensions of family units were returned under Title 42, according to CBP data.

From January 1st – February 1st there has been a 30% increase in children stopped by CPB (Customs and Border Protection). “The truth of the matter is, nothing has changed.

Thirty-one percent in 2019 before the pandemic in the Trump administration, it happens every single solitary year. There is a significant increase in the number of people coming to the border in the winter months of January, February, March — it happens every year,” claims President Joe Biden. Although the president is correct about more people crossing the border during the winter months, he is incorrect about children crossing alone.
