U.S. Customs and Border Patrol has released the numbers for May, when there were more than 180,000 border “encounters,” a 21-year high. But it’s just a seasonal thing, right?
Massive after hours news dump – border crossings remain at a 21-year high, more than 180,000 in May
Biden Admin clearly trying to bury this
They chose to release this after hours while Biden is in the UK and White House press corps is operating on a different schedule https://t.co/xhLi7jfE84

This also conveniently comes **after** Kamala Harris returned from Guatemala and Mexico City, so she couldn't be asked about it on her trip

Now that she’s told Guatemalans, “Do not come,” that number should drop significantly.

But it only went up 1% over April. That's like one tenth the rate of inflation, so PROGRESS

Climate change must have really gone through the roof in the past few months… 🤔

How many are unaccompanied minors left at the border to fend for themselves @JoeBiden?

That unprecedented surge right after Biden was sworn in 👀.
They know EXACTLY what is happening, and don't care to fix it.— HardAs◇'s (@Willadamus) June 9, 2021
Looks like things were humming along just fine until about January of this year. WHAT could have happened?!? 😡

Look April to April, a ten fold increase…

The numbers are so bad they've moved from comparing year over year to month over month.
May 2020: 23,237
May 2021: 180,034 (+774%)— Cupcake Connoisseur (@FistFreke) June 10, 2021
Let’s be real, you have no idea what is actually going on. The southern border is run by the cartels and human traffickers now. Just the way Joe Biden wants it.

Joe Biden is talking about climate change and white supremacy bullshit, his wife pretends she's giving a speech at G7 and vice President cackling hyena thinks she's been to the border because she hasn't been to Europe.
Meanwhile we're literally being invaded by foreign occupiers. https://t.co/p50tGMjVTP— Rising serpent 🇺🇸 (@rising_serpent) June 10, 2021
Hey, credit the Washington Post for actually picking up the story:
