“Why Are Border Crossings at Their Lowest Level in Four Years?”

"Border crossings are at their lowest in four years. Is the Biden administration’s executive action working as intended—or is there another factor at play?

Apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border spiked to a record 250,000 in December 2023, but they’ve been falling since then. Beginning in January 2024, a crackdown by Mexico with the goal of “wearing out” migrants has made it harder for people to get to the U.S. border. As a result, border apprehensions have dropped every month of 2024 so far.

The lessons of the last decade have shown us that it is a bad idea to prematurely declare victory or claim that a singular policy reversed fortunes at the border. While the fragile state of the border today suggests harsh policies can lead to temporary reductions in migration, none of the larger issues have been solved.

Migrants continue to be driven from their homes for reasons they can’t control, smuggling networks continue to grow, and Congress continues to sit on its hands. Without long-term meaningful changes to our immigration laws and sustained efforts to address the root causes of migration, the relative peace at the border is unlikely to last.”
