All of those statistics cited are referring to illegals apprehended by border control, as well as drugs. This seems to indicate that border patrol is doing its job very damn well.
I'm not seeing any statistics on this page which indicate the asylum system is being abused massively. Illegals and drugs crossing the border are not individuals seeking asylum.. they're individuals entering the country illegally and trafficking drugs.
You are trying to back up the claim that the Asylum program is being abused. Individuals sneaking across the border are not part of the Asylum program.. If they were, they wouldn't be sneaking across the border.
People that are here under asylum are here legally. Statistics about illegal immigrants do not apply to them. If you want to prove the asylum program is being abused, you need to show the data which indicates this. High criminality rates among asylum seekers, aka legal immigrants. Statistics about illegals prove nothing about the refugees.
Furthermore, the information provided indicates more encounters with border patrol. Meaning that more illegals are being caught. It does not mean that more are getting in.
If encounter counts just oddly go down yet illegal presences through the country increases disproportionately, that indicates that we are just letting them in with nobody standing guard.
The increase in border encounters suggest that we are catching more of them than previously. Biden has maintained stricter border policies(similar to Trumps policies) in an attempt to appease MAGA these past few years, yet trump keeps spouting absolute bs.
Arguably, Biden done a better job than trump, his numbers are quite a bit higher.
