Undocumented Migrant Crossings Into U.S. Drop To 4-Year Low In November

SUNLAND PARK, TEXAS - JANUARY 02: A section of border fencing is seen on January 02, 2025 in Sunland Park, Texas. Unlawful border crossings along the Texas Southern border have plummeted to a four-year low according to recent data provided by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Immigration experts have attributed parts of the decrease to a ruling under the Biden administration. The ruling encouraged traveling migrants to make appointments through an app before turning themselves in at ports of entry. The ruling also established ineligibility for asylum seekers attempting to cross illegally.
