April’s reading is lower than the corresponding readings for 2023 and 20222, and similar to 2021. This is not the picture I expected from reading the Zerohedge article.

It is true that meeting does not mean “the same person” you met; however, unless there is systematic bias in the number of people in any group encountered by CBP, then one can conclude that the people coming in are less—not more—than before.
