RNC STATEMENT ON JULY BORDER APPREHENSIONS, 21-YEAR HIGH

WASHINGTON – Today, the Republican National Committee released the following statement after DHS Secretary Mayorkas announced 212,672 apprehensions at the southern border in July, a 13% increase over June and the highest number in 21 years :  
 
“As record after record is broken on the border, Biden and Harris are failing Americans with the raging crisis they created. The 212,672 border apprehensions in July underscore the failed policies of the Biden administration that have resulted in a surge of illegal immigrants and border-related COVID cases, a flood of deadly drugs entering the United States, and a rise in crime in border towns. It is time to secure our border and reverse Biden and Harris’ failed open border policies.” – RNC Communications Director Danielle Alvarez
