Almost two-thirds of Border Patrol apprehensions are of parents and their children. While we don’t have complete historical data, it seems likely that more families are coming to the US without papers than ever before. Additionally, a large share of migrants (both families and single adults) are expressing a desire to seek asylum.

Both groups are overwhelmingly coming from the Central American countries of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.

This graph is something we are supposed to be excited about? Because even though there isn’t complete historical data to compare it to?

An 11 year high of illegal immigration is not positive. And explains why BP is having issues dealing.[/quote]

What a disheartening graph. How can people claim illegals are coming at an all time low? Not true. It’s getting worse.[/quote]

The same pew research has released long term data that illegal immigration is at an all time low. Did you even care to read the article? It says that illegal immigration is low but this time families are coming from central America because of years long drought/famine. Also that graph is misleading. It shows the number of apprehension. So trump admin is arresting everyone thus increasing the apprehensions Even when overall numbers are down.

This is why data needs intelligence to interpret it correctly and learn the right lessons.

Pew research below shows that overall numbers are down but from Central America is up.
