President Joe Biden has officially overseen the largest number of migrants crossing the southern border in a single month.
The dubious honor, which occurred in May, breaks the last record set in 2000 under the leadership of President Bill Clinton.
The Customs and Border Patrol agency reported on Wednesday that a staggering 239,416 people crossed the United States/Mexico border. This smashes April’s number of 234,088 encounters and perhaps lends credence to the conservative argument that Biden is presiding over a border crisis, among many other crises.

Further breakdown of the numbers shows that 69% of the border crossers were adults, and the number of unaccompanied children rose by 21%, a heartbreaking increase from the month prior.
Twitter users reacted to the news:
That’s a lot of future liberals

If we could invest in securing 🇺🇸 borders before we secure 🇺🇦 that’d be great…

Wait until they see the price of rent. They won’t want to stay long unless they have other things in mind 🤔

If we can count them…why can’t we stop them? 🧐

Hell yeah! Get in here! Increasing demand for goods and supply of employees within this economy won’t exacerbate things AT ALL.

Dems will be upset to see working Latinos are typically conservative. They don’t like their hard earned money laundered through taxes
