When people come in to claim asylum, yeah, that’s part of the process.
We intentionally made it so they had to cross the border to claim asylum, take them into custody, arrest and deport them if they have criminal records, then release the others following the process for asylum.
10,337 arrested year to date, compared to 15,267 in all of 2023, 12,028 in all of 2022, and 10,763 in 2021.
I don’t think you can say “letting in” is accurate.
On average in 2024 the US is detaining 41,500 migrants PER DAY.

So today being the 154th day of the year… 6,391,000 people detained so far this year?
And then they let them go after they get detained. Thats the “letting in” part.

No, we didnt make so they had to cross the border to claim asylum, theyre supposed to go to a port of entry.
Illegally immigrating is a seperate action from claiming asylum, and they set it up so that committing crimes doesnt mean deportation.
