Raw data: Illegal immigration is down in June

CBP released border encounter numbers for June today, and they're down a lot from last month:

The June decline is fairly typical for the start of summer, so there's no telling yet if it's temporary or not. Of the 145,000 border encounters in June, about 45,000 were asylum requests and 100,000 were attempts to cross the border illegally.

With Title 42 gone, asylum requests are now mostly handled via the CBP-One mobile app. CBP has announced that they will accept about 40,000 appointments per month via the app.

    Trump screwed up all the aid/mitigation programs to minimize immigration and failed in responding to the situation in Venezuela. The "remain in Mexico" was basically a stop gap measure--and it would take years to finally work itself out.

    This is like the Trump support chart. “Down in June” == wobbling around the new normal, and would be an all time record high just two years ago.

    The weather? Maybe immigration rates are unchanged, but we just haven't found all the bodies in the desert yet?
