46,610 people stopped between ports of entry in November , U.S. Customs and Border Protection says.

The number of illegal border crossings is the lowest level since July 2020 .

Experts attribute the drop in border encounters to the "carrot-and-stick" approach of the Biden administration.

San Diego Mayor John Minto says the Biden-Harris administration's approach to border security and immigration is affecting the state and San Diego County .

He says the influx of migrants has drained local resources, including overcrowding at local hospitals.

Minto could not immediately be reached for comment.
