The flow of illegal border crossers before and after Biden's election...they took the invitation seriously

Extraordinary immigration charts show how Biden's inauguration triggered surge in migration - with border detentions more than DOUBLING within days of Trump's exit

  • Sen. Ron Johnson upended hearing with graph showing surge began after Jan. 20
  • 'This is President Biden's inauguration. Here's the surge,' he says
  • His chart shows steep declines in arrivals coincided with Trump measures
  • Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says progress made in reducing number of children held at border stations 
  • He refuses to describe problems as a 'crisis' referring to a 'challenge' instead

New charts reveals exactly how Joe Biden's inauguration triggered a surge of immigrants arriving at the southern border, despite repeated claims from administration officials that they inherited a broken system.

The graphs - showing that border detentions and child arrivals dropped to their lowest level in years at the end of 2020 before rocketing as soon as Biden took office - derailed efforts by the top U.S. homeland security official to deliver a rosy message when he appeared before senators on Thursday. 

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was forced on the defensive after Sen. Ron Johnson produced his dramatic red chart displaying 'border apprehensions.'

Republican senators used a graph compiled by the office of Sen. Ron Johnson during a hearing to demonstrate how a surge in arrivals at the border coincided with Joe Biden's inauguration
