Since deportations have basically wound down those people are effectively being given amnesty.
2024 should have been THE year to see any positive effects of immigration.
What number am I supposed to be looking at in that cbp.gov link?
I saw "Total CPB Enforcemnt Actions" yearly numbers for inadmissibles, expulsions and apprehensions (as per the footnotes). Are those the numbers your are referring to?
I don't get it. Weren't those the waves of people after the pandemic, the numbers showing how many were turned around?
