Border encounters are down 93% in 2025 since the same time last year

It wasn't blasted all over right-wing media so you probably don't know that Biden signed an executive order in early '24 that required refugees to apply for asylum on the Mexican side of the border, instead of on the US side which had been the policy for decades. That resulted in a 50% drop in border crossings by election day. As an honest and honorable man I'm sure you'll want to give Biden full credit for that. Open borders my ass.

I'll concede that border crossings may have dropped some more since then but 93% seems absurdly high. Please cite your official source.
