(The Center Square) â More than 42,000 people crossing the U.S.-Mexico border evaded authorities in April, preliminary Customs and Border Protection (CPB) statistics show.
More than 177,000 people illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border were apprehended by Border Patrol in the month, on top of the 42,620 who evaded apprehension, according to preliminary CBP numbers, Jaeson Jones, former captain of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said.
During February and March, those evading capture were estimated to be about 30,000 people per month â meaning they were not processed by border patrol and entered the general U.S. population. The number of people who evade capture is now closer to nearly 1,400 people a day, conservative estimates by border patrol indicate.

Such a provision at a time like this is odd enough, but Jacobson isn’t even sticking around the full 100 days.
The southern border is a crisis of Joe Biden’s making.
