Migrants crossing the southern border have decreased more than 40% since December and have remained relatively stable through the first four months of 2024. In April, U.S. border agents encountered about 130,000 migrants entering illegally from Mexico, a level that is high by historical standards but lower than February and March, according to U.S. enforcement data obtained by The Post.
"This spring has been an anomaly," said Adam Isacson, a border security analyst who tracks monthly enforcement data at the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA), a D.C.-based advocacy group. "It's gotten much, much harder for migrants to make it to the U.S. border."
