During President Joe Biden’s tenure in the Oval Office, the United States has experienced a truly gargantuan surge in illegal immigration along its southern border.
Since Biden’s inauguration in January 2021, over 7 million people have illegally crossed the southern border, and the number of border encounters reported by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has increased every year Biden has been in office. Fiscal Years 2021 and 2022 saw 1,734,686 and 2,378,944 encounters, respectively, while Fiscal Year 2023 recorded the highest number of annual encounters in U.S. history — 2,475,669. September alone saw nearly 270,000 encounters, the highest number of monthly encounters ever reported.
