CONTENT: US Border Patrol says it has made 593,507 southwest border apprehensions since October 2018. The previous US fiscal year there were 303,916, according to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

The number fell dramatically in President Trump's first year but rose again last year.

The number of migrants apprehended at the border surged in May to the highest level since 2006, with 132,887 detained - including 11,507 unaccompanied children. It was the first time that detentions had exceeded 100,000 since April 2007.

The UN Missing Migrants project reports that 170 migrants have died or are missing on the US-Mexico border so far in 2019 - including 13 children. Border Patrol figures show that 283 died last year, but human rights activists say the number is likely to be higher.

Looking at the wider picture, there has been a sharp fall in the number of people arrested in the last 18 years.

Over the past two years, President Trump and his administration have tried a variety of deterrent measures affecting both illegal entrants and asylum seekers.

They are:

asylum seekers caught crossing illegally must wait across the border in Mexico for adjudication
border officials have decreased the number of asylum cases they process each day, a strategy called "metering"
in June, then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that claims of domestic and gang violence would no longer qualify as grounds for asylum in the US - this was defeated in court
most controversially, in spring, thousands of migrant children were separated from their parents at the border as a part of a "zero tolerance policy" that prosecuted anyone found crossing illegally

"This situation is child abuse," Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi said of the government's policy.

"It is an atrocity that violates every value we have, not only as Americans, but as moral beings."
