Preliminary data indicates that US Border Patrol arrested around 51,000 people on the US-Mexico border in August, according to a Border Patrol source familiar with the data
The August numbers show a consistent decline in arrests since the spring and come as the Trump administration has pushed forward numerous controversial policies intended to help stem the flow of migrants arriving at the southern border. An influx of migrant families and children, predominantly from Central America, strained resources along the border as severe overcrowding took hold earlier this summer.
" The administration has replaced and revamped sections of wall, but as of August no new miles of wall had been built where none previously existed. Trump also thanked Mexico for its efforts to reduce illegal migration to the US border, claiming that"they have 25,000 soldiers right now protecting our border and they've done a fantastic job.
