Another month, another illegal migrant encounter record at the southern border thanks to Joe Biden and the Democrats. Late last night, CBP quietly released the figures of 227,000 migrant encounters at the open southern border. This is a record for any September on record in history.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported over 227,000 migrant encounters along the southern border in September, outpacing every other September on record, according to new agency statistics revealed Friday.
The agency clocked roughly 2.3 million migrant encounters for fiscal year 2022, shattering the previous record, and took over 2.7 million enforcement actions nationally in fiscal year 2022, up more than 41% over fiscal year 2021, according to its data. CBP said 19% of the September southern border encounters involved people encountered at least one other time in the past 12 months (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Afghan Migrants Say UN Workers Gave Them Directions To US Border)
“CBP and DHS will continue to work with our partners in the region to address the root causes of migration, expand legal pathways, facilitate removals, and take thousands of smugglers off the streets,” CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus said. “No matter what smugglers say, those who do not have a legal basis to remain in the country will be removed and people should not make the dangerous journey.”
