Appreciate the context and nuance around the detention numbers. It reminds me of how Title 42 drove up crossing numbers artificially, but on paper you only got half the story
We live 30 minutes from the border and "detention numbers" do not matter in reports - what matters is how many they are letting thru, how many they don't even stop, how many that if seen for amnesty - are simply released into the immediate area and left to their own/and cartels' devices or other bad actors. Detention numbers are numbers that can be "discussed" by those who choose to ignore the open borders for their own distancing and political reasons.
