58,000 illegal border crossings recorded in August, lowest since Sept 2020, attributed to Biden's June actions and US-Mexico cooperation.

In August, U.S. Border Patrol recorded about 58,000 illegal border crossings, a slight increase from July but significantly lower than recent months. This decline, attributed to President Biden's June executive actions restricting asylum, marks the lowest level of encounters since September 2020. Enhanced cooperation between the U.S. and Mexico and new legal entry pathways also contributed to this trend, while criticism from Republicans continues.
