[quote=Anonymous]This is as of Oct. 2023.  And, we know that the end of 2023, we had more encounters than ever before.  And, 2024 hasn't gotten much better.

[quote]Encounters on the southern border of those trying to enter the U.S. without authorization have gone up significantly under President Joe Biden.

Comprehensive figures are available through October. So to keep things as simple as possible, we’ll present numbers for February 2021, the month after Biden took office, through October, unless otherwise noted.

The DHS data show 6.5 million encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border in that time frame, a figure that includes both the 5.8 million apprehensions between legal ports of entry – the number typically used for illegal immigration – and a little more than 700,000 migrants who arrived at ports of entry without authorization to enter the U.S.

Of those 6.5 million encounters by CBP, [b]2.5 million people have been released into the U.S. with notices to appear in immigration court or report to Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the future, or other classifications, such as parole.[/b]

There are certainly others who have crossed the border by evading the authorities. DHS estimated there were 660,000 “gotaways,” or unlawful entries, in fiscal 2021. The agency would not provide an updated estimate. However, a DHS spokesperson told us: “Under this Administration, the estimated annual apprehension rate has averaged 78%, identical to the rate of the prior Administration.” T[b]hat rate would support a gotaway figure of 1.6 million from February 2021 through October.

[b]The 1.6 million figure would bring the number of those entering or released into the country to about 4.2 million.[/b][/quote]
