"Just in the last two months this region has seen an approximate 50% decline in illegal entries. Nationwide numbers have declined as well," said Mike Scappechio with Customs and Border Protection.
"Partnerships with Mexico have enhanced. Policies have changed," Scappechio said. Since the beginning of the year, Mexico has cracked down on migrants heading for the U.S. border.
"And in June, President Joe Biden issued an executive order, barring access to the asylum process for those who enter illegally when crossings are high."
"The administration has also created a process for migrants to come lawfully. They make an appointment using a smartphone app called CBP One, get vetted at a port of entry."
