Joe can ignore it, but it isn’t going away. According to U.S. Customs & Border Protection’s January court documents, uncovered by Fox News’ Griff Jenkins, 178,840 migrant encounters were logged at the southern border in the month of December —an increase from the already-staggering 173,620 logged in November. That brings 2021’s totals over the 2 million mark. “The documents also show that 55,626 migrants were released into the U.S. Of those, 36,652 were released on an order of recognizance with a Notice to Appear at an eventual court hearing. 178,840 in December means more than 2 million encounters in calendar year 2021.
